Still, it recreates the edge of the image and “recovers detail lost by unwanted camera movement, while also reducing blur caused by motion and slow shutter speeds.”Upscaling to 24K can help create immersive content.

With more content in substantial definition needed for devices such as the Apple Vision Pro, this AI Upscale technology will be much welcome.However, this “Pro” version also has multiple other advantages. First, it allows you to work locally, which is crucial for sensitive projects. Second, it supports multi-GPU rendering, which can increase rendering speeds by up to ten times, depending on the number of GPUs you have and how fast they are. Once you’ve finished working on your footage, Video AI Pro can export it in YUV 4:2:0, 4:2:2, or 4:4:4 at up to 16-bit per channel RGB. Last but not least, the Pro version includes the full commercial license.Price and availabilityTopaz Labs Video AI Pro is available now, starting at $1099 for one user per year.
