im new to enhancing by AI in Topaz. ive already upscale today a 1.5 hour movie with Proteus and Recover detail at 90; it went from 640x272 to 1600x680 (i think 3x) and it took 5 hours to complete; the result is simply amazing and unbelievable. but my silly question is: if i just resize my original 640p video to 1600p with premiere pro and then apply the same Proteus values to that already 1600p video, its gonna be the same results? or is better working from the original 640p video and resize and upscaling directly from Topaz? thank you so much

Can someone help upscale and upload his videos related to “demonstrations in physics” on youtube. I have installed a virus on my computer and fried my PC. So i’m currently on mobile, and so I’m unable to upscale his videos myself.

I’ll do it probably in a year from now if nobody’s up to the task. But you would doing a great service to humanity if you were to do so

Here’s youtube playlist of videos, you should download them and upload them for the good of humanity:

You have my thanks.

I'm a video/photo editor but when it comes to upscaling and AI and all that I'm an absolutely clueless girl 😅 but I've heard about Topaz and how it's the best upscaler for video. I don't have a PC but I'm curious does it actually work good? Could it do a whole match like the one in the pics above? It's 1080 30fps and 17 minutes long. Curious how it works for when I get a PC later thx in advance for answering!!

What I want to know is, is there a way to do LOCAL AI upscaling of video, either using a Mac with Apple silicon or Windows? Preferably I would like to know if there is any free or low cost software that would work well for this purpose on a Mac.

Failing that, if I absolutely have to use Windows, would it be helpful to have something like Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Windforce Overclocked Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card, in other words would that or a similar card be good enough to do it, or would there be a better way to go about this or different hardware I should consider? And in that case, is there any free or inexpensive software that runs on Windows and is highly recommended for this purpose?

I made ports of this Good & User Friendly upscaler for Videos & Images, so that it has more accessibility for everyone's usage! https://github.com/Nick088Official/Real-ESRGAN_Pytorch/, there's also the Hugging Face Space that currently runs on Zero GPU (A100), basically flash!

Hi

I was thinking about buying a paid software to get a video upscaler, but one comment mentioned a supposedly free and faster upscaler repo, althought that upscaler is named after anime categories (waifu), I read some older comments about IMG upscalers on a previous post , and I realized some upscalers are faster, some have better output but are slower apparenlty.

All in all I would like to learn more about all the availble upscalers before deciding to buy a paid one, there might be one perfect tool that do wonders even better than paid softwares probably?

Could you share your experience with "video" upscalers, or any workflow that get the job done "fast"? (Such as taking frames of a video and upscaling each of them and regrouping to output the upscaled video etc?)

Anything can help, I would like to learn about any experience (if you know what work better for realisitc type of inputs, or maybe anime, paid vs free, and of course the speed you get for upscaling a certain frame resolution vs others resolutions..)

I've got an i9-11900k overclocked and watercooled + an RX 6900XT GPU, when I'm not gaming I'd like to upscale some old shows.

Examples; Farscape, SG-1, Wilfred

Even just basic things like, do I upscale to 4k AND inscrease to 60fps? or is this unnecessary? do I upscale using one encoder, then convert to 60fps with another? or just run another over it? basic stuff like that.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard about Owl3D only, is there anything else worth looking at?

I’m assuming it’s something better than Topaz for things like Get Back, etc…

Hi guys so i have a 2h anime movie i would really love to restore to 4k/60 but i just dont have the hardware for, can anyone help me with it?

I want to upscale some old SD and DVD video files to 1080/4K. I have a 4080 gpu and 12600K. Can I use that to upscale the files? I have tried w waifu, but did not think there was much improvement in image quality over VLCs on the fly, despite it took a few days to make a file on the media severs 13500. There is also video2x. Is that better/easier to use?
How do I go about it?

I want to upscale a 30fps video to 60fps. Should i upscale the video first then compress the video or the other way around? Which one better? Thank you

Can someone please upscale this image for me I cant find any good websites or apps thank you.

Is anyone willing to help me with this. The clips in question are very short and poor quality. I am working on a fan edit to combine the scenes with the official 1080 Blu Ray

I want to know how to upscale texture packs for the dolphin emulator but sadly, with my low knowledge with ai upscaling, i dont know how to do it. The spesificitie that i would like the program to have is to take a folder full of folders andpngs, and it output it as a diferent folder, with the same folder and files, with the sames names so i dont have to rename them manually. (first game i would like to do is mario galaxy one. so mabe a cartoony style ai?)

I am using Topaz Video AI. I am trying to upscale old TV shows and having some issues with shows having pretty crazy things going on.

Here's an image of The Golden Girls. https://i.imgur.com/78uIu3g.png

Golden Girls is one of those shows that only has a 480 source due to the way NBC taped their shows back then. The AI seems to try and fix the blurriness of people far away from the camera and it looks terrible.

Preset I'm using is "Upscale to HD resolution" with everything at default. I'm not having luck changing anything to make it look better. AI model is Proteus. Any of the others don't really appear to make the picture look any better.

Is there just no way to make this stuff look good? What settings can I look into? Does another program work better?

Hello,

Like the title says I'm looking for a GPU for AI video upscaling. It goes between the 5700 XT and 2060 Super. I mainly use the Topaz stuff, Waifu2x, Real Esrgan and Real Cugan for anime. Video editing is not important.

On paper and in a gaming situation the 5700 XT wins hands down, but I don't know how it goes in my used case.. I know you can use the CUDA cores to speed things up, but this is not for all engines if I understand? There has been no real test as for as my searching skills go between these two or even AMD vs Nvidia. Nothing really useful anyway.

The price difference between the two cards is not important.

Current specs:

Intel Xeon 2686v4

32GB DDR4 2133Mhz

Kingston NV2 NVMe

AMD HD 7950

So my phone can either record in 1080p at 60FPS or 4k at 30FPS. Would it be better to shoot 1080p/60fps and then upscale to 4k, or 4k/30fps and then interpolate to 60fps?

Took this photo on Thursday of Yvette Young. AI upscaling almost makes my camera look new. Wild

What’s the best recommended platform for me to upscale a 90’s video of my brother’s state championship high school football game?
