What is Video Enhance AI?

Using the power of machine-learning AI technology, Video Enhance AI is trained on thousands of videos and it combines information from multiple input video frames. It can enlarge your video up to 8k resolution with true details and motion consistency. For example, you can upscale SD video to HD or even 4K resolution.

What is the minimum hardware requirement for Video Enhance AI?

A DirectX12 compatible GPU (NVidia or AMD). An Intel CPU from 2015 onwards or an AMD CPU from 2016 onwards are our minimum requirements for the CPU.

Mac minimum requirements: 8GB or more RAM, 2GB of VRAM. MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) to run on CPU only. MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer to run on GPU. This gives the best performance.

Can Video Enhance AI work on Macs?

Yes. Video Enhance AI can run on all Mac models that meet the hardware requirements from 2012 onwards.

Can I buy one and run it on both Mac and Windows?

Yes, your license exists independently of your operating system.

Can I do batch processing on several videos?

Sure you can! You can load in several videos simultaneously into Video Enhance AI. All of them can be assigned with different settings including output size, upsample scale, output format, model utilized and etc. Then with a single click on the process button, they will all be processed in sequence.

How long will it take to process a video?

Here is an example. On a PC with Nvidia GTX 1080. For a video from HD to 8K, it typically takes 2-3 seconds for each frame. If you upscale a video from SD to HD, it will take about 0.4 seconds for each frame.

What is the maximum size of an output video I can get?

We support up to 8K video output. Any size larger than 8K will cause a failure. But you can set the output format as a sequence of images (png/tif/tiff) which can support nearly any size.

Can I process interlaced Video?

Yes! Beginning with v 1.9.0, Video Enhance AI now includes models to accommodate interlaced as well as progressive video.

My machine has more than one Nvidia GPU, can I use all of them?

While we don't support multi-GPU processing during one instance of Video Ennhance AI, you can open multiple windows and assign different Nvidia GPUs in the settings. Then different procedures will take different GPUs to do the processing.

Can I read in a sequence of images as input?

Yes. You can put a sequence of images of the same name format into one folder then load in any one of the images into Video Enhance AI. Please make sure that the name of the images should end with several sequential number digits. An example: MyFrames000000.png, MyFrames000001.png, MyFrames000002.png, ...

My GPU utilization seems low in the task manager. Is there something wrong?

This is normal. The GPU utilization in task manager is not precise. If you want to track the actual GPU usage, please try Nvidia-smi. You can also increase the amount of GPU usage in the app by going to Process > Preference and increasing the AI Resources Demand

Can I try Video Enhance AI before buying it?

First, if you are new to Topaz Labs, create an account on the Topaz Labs My Account Page. Next, simply download Video Enhance AI from the Topaz Labs Downloads Page, log in using your account information, and select "Start Trial" to begin your free 30-day trial.

Can I assume the Mac and Windows versions deliver identical results?

No. This is a different computer science problem to solve, but we do our best to make the results nearly identical. Whenever possible. If you do notice any aberrations between operating systems please Open a Ticket at the Help Center.

What file types are compatible with Video Enhance AI?

Video Enhance AI is compatible with the following file types:

Video: .avi, .dv, .flv, .m1v, .mkv, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .mpeg, .mxf, .ts, .vob, .webm, .wmv

Image: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff
