I created a series of 24 tests for the software, ran each test twice and averaged the results in this table. All media was stored on the internal drive of my Mac. I was using the latest version of Topaz Video AI: v3.1.11.

I tested Video AI on an M1 Pro 16″ MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura 13.3. Would I recommend the program? Yes, but be sure you have a fast computer to run it on. What it has problems with can be solved using other tools. A “roadmap” is not a tutorial.Ĭlearly, like all software wrapped around AI, Topaz Video AI is a work in progress.

For instance, an explanation on how to create super slow motion is found in the online Product Roadmap which makes no sense. In addition to image stabilization, Video AI has other issues such as: confusing presets, long processing times on slower systems and a lack of clear guidance providing a recommended way to accomplish a task. This is not a good app to use for stabilization. Premiere Pro yields results similar to FCP. It takes – I did the tests – up to 53 times longer to stabilize a clip in Video AI than in Final Cut Pro. Frankly, stabilization is a complete mess. The slowmo created by Video AI is far better than optical flow, with consistent and clear details. While not generally used for drama, it makes action and sports footage much more “real” and clear. This gives footage the feeling it was shot at high-frame rates. This adds back detail that was lost due to the small size of the original image.

Up-scaling (also called “up-rezing” or “up-resing”).

The deinterlacer in Topaz Video AI is outstanding and good enough on its own to justify purchasing the program. The key features in Topaz Video AI include: I’ve spent the last three days working with it and here’s what I learned. The folks at Topaz Labs gave me a one-month license to review the current version (3.1.11) of their software. All with the goal of improving image quality. Topaz Video AI is used for deinterlacing video, upscaling low-resolution video to a higher resolution, removing excessive motion blur and creating super smooth slow motion. But, when you learn how it works, it creates results that will drop your jaw to the floor. It requires serious computing power, takes time to process, and its interface can be confusing. I have contacted Topaz Labs to learn more about this potential problem.

If deinterlacing is your reason for considering Topaz Video AI, please test the free trial to make sure it works for you. According to reader reports, version 3.2.5 no longer deinterlaces – or deinterlaces very poorly.

UPDATE CAUTION (May 13, 2023): This review looked at version 3.2.4, which did an outstanding job of deinterlacing.
