Desktop video recovery tool with noise reduction, detailing, interpolation and stabilization settings.
Increase and restore the source
Topaz Video uses different models for video processing. In the Enhancement section, the developer distinguishes between sources, types of defects and available model parameters. Increasing resolution is useful for showing on the big screen. Traces of severe compression and lubricated faces should be evaluated separately: the increase makes both corrected and remaining problems more noticeable.
Stabilization and interpolation can be considered separately from improving the details. In the first case, the task is associated with the movement of the camera, in the second, intermediate frames appear. For smooth panning and abrupt plan changes, the verification criteria will be different.
Sample on family record
Take a few seconds from an old recording where the person turns their head next to a sign or patterned cloth. Compare the two modes on the same image size. When playing, check if the contours and small lines are not flickering. If one option seems sharper at the pause, look again at the movement and change of plans.
Keep the original separately. A processed copy is useful to sign, especially when the improvement changes the appearance of small details on archival footage.
Requirements before long render
Start with a short export to find out the right processing time and estimate the file size. Check the equipment requirements and availability of the right models on your plan. For cloud mode, specify the conditions for video transmission in advance. The resolution of the result, its codec and allowable settings are more convenient to choose before processing a large collection.
