New Topaz Video Ai brings new compare UI, 16x upscaling and more!
Topaz officially launched the new Video AI 4.0 (Click here to preorder with a $50 discount and see samples of all new features). I am an avid Topaz Photo Ai and Video AI user. With Video AI I was able to save an old documentary of mine where I only had a 720p file and upscaled it to 4k with impressive results. Also Photo Ai is incredible and I use it often. So definitely jump on it if you want to improve the quality of your photos/videos!
New features:
- Comparison views: apply different filters to Views 1 & 2 to compare them. Freely switch between reviewing input clips and previews to find the best settings possible for your video.
- Preview history: previews are tracked based on filter settings and shown grouped together on the video timeline.
- Zoomable timeline: take advantage of timeline zoom controls to hone in on smaller areas of a large video.
- In & Out Trim: replaced the “trim” edit mode with an In & Out option comparable to other video editing applications.
- Refreshed UI and filter icons: tighter more informational display.
- Nyx v2: improve results and 2x scaling mode.
- Significant performance improvements for the in-app video player.
- Crop controls moved to video input panel.
