Topaz Video

What is Topaz Video?

Topaz Video is video enhancement software from Topaz Labs that uses AI models to improve footage. The listed workflows include Precision Upscale, Creative Upscale, Frame Interpolation, Slow Motion and SDR to HDR conversion. You can run it as part of a desktop subscription with unlimited local rendering, or in the browser through Topaz for Web, where video renders use monthly cloud credits that expire at the end of each month. The docs give credit examples: Starlight Precise 2.6 costs 5 credits to reach 1080p and 20 credits for 4K on a 10-second clip at 30 FPS, and credit packs start at 20 credits for $3.00. Topaz Studio bundles Topaz Video with Photo, Gigapixel, Mobile and Web apps. The pricing page shows Topaz for Web - Video at $19/mo (marked down from $29) with 200 monthly cloud video credits, Topaz Studio at $69/mo, or $399 per year, with promotional first-period discounts.
