Overview — Topaz Video AI Pro 7.1.4
Topaz Video AI is a professional, AI-powered video enhancement software that lets you denoise low-light footage, recover and upscale old archival videos to 4K, restore focus, and adjust frame rate by creating new frames out of thin air. Available on Mac and Windows.
Developed by Topaz Labs, Video AI 7.1.4 is one of the most advanced AI video enhancement tools available for macOS. This update to Video AI brings a small but important update to align with the latest company changes. This marks the final major version of Video AI, and Topaz Labs is committed to carrying its legacy forward with their new Studio release.
Topaz Video AI is a professional-grade video enhancement software designed to upscale, deinterlace, and restore footage using neural networks. Unlike traditional interpolation which simply stretches pixels, Topaz rebuilds missing data — it is primarily a local desktop application that utilizes your computer’s GPU to perform trillions of calculations to turn a blurry 480p family video or a noisy 1080p film into a crisp 4K masterpiece.
What’s New in Version 7.1.4
Topaz Video AI 7.1.4 added the Topaz Video Studio download path, making it easier to transition to the new Studio version directly from within the app.
Version 7.1 Major Highlights: Cross-Scene Artifact Suppression for Frame Interpolation — with Scene Detection enabled, the Slow Motion function for videos is better equipped to handle videos with cuts.
Key Features
- AI Video Upscaling to 4K+ — Run the latest models developed for high-accuracy enhancements up to 4K for a wide range of video content — from AI-generated and live action to animated films.
- Starlight Diffusion Model — Starlight Mini is the first-ever diffusion AI model for video enhancement and the only one to achieve full temporal consistency, ensuring frame-to-frame seamless motion.
- 15+ AI Enhancement Models — Available models include Starlight Precise, Proteus, Iris, Nyx, Rhea, Rhea XL, Artemis, Gaia, Theia, Apollo, Chronos, Aion, Themis, SDR to HDR, and Stabilization.
- Noise Reduction (Nyx Model) — Nyx is Topaz’s dedicated noise reduction model, optimized for low-light and high-ISO footage where grain and digital noise are prominent. It delivers impressive noise reduction, removing most visible grain while keeping the image relatively clean with clearer edges and reduced compression artifacts.
- Frame Interpolation & Slow Motion — Create new frames with frame interpolation and achieve cinema-level detail with smooth slow motion.
- Video Stabilization — Topaz Video AI offers a reliable form of camera shake reduction that does not depend on locating feature pinpoints between frames.
- Cross-Scene Artifact Suppression — With Scene Detection enabled, the Slow Motion function for videos is better equipped to handle videos with cuts, reducing artifacts at scene transitions.
- Cloud Rendering — Take the pressure off your hardware with cloud rendering, which uses Cloud Credits. You will get the fastest processing times with the latest AI models, without bogging down your hardware.
- Plugin Support — Use Topaz Video as a standalone app, or as a plugin to your favorite video editing software.
- Command Line Interface — If you are comfortable with Command Prompt or Mac Terminal, you can run scripts using a command line interface. This is for advanced users.
- Hardware Encoding — Hardware encoding support for H264, H265, and AV1 on all platforms when available, with output formats such as ProRes 444 in higher bit rates.
- Batch Processing — Multiple videos can be loaded and assigned different settings simultaneously, all processed in sequence with a single click.
- SDR to HDR Conversion — Convert standard dynamic range footage to HDR using dedicated AI models built into the suite.
