AI video enhancement software from Topaz Labs that upscales footage, interpolates frames, converts SDR to HDR, and restores detail for filmmakers and video professionals.
About
Topaz Video AI is the desktop video enhancement application from Topaz Labs, a company that has built AI-powered image and video software since 2001. It addresses a common production problem: footage that is low resolution, soft, noisy, or shot at an awkward frame rate needs to look clean and professional at modern delivery sizes. The software uses AI models to upscale clips, stabilize shaky shots, remove motion blur, and generate intermediate frames for smoother playback or slow motion.
The application runs locally on Windows desktop hardware, processing footage without requiring a round trip to a cloud service. Topaz Labs positions it as part of a broader ecosystem that includes Topaz Photo, Topaz Gigapixel, browser-based tools, and an Adobe Premiere Pro panel that runs the same enhancement models directly inside the NLE. The company states its tools are used by more than a million photographers and filmmakers, and its technology has received Emmy Award recognition.

Who It's For

Typical users include filmmakers restoring older or archival footage, editors preparing low-resolution clips for large-format delivery, and creators of AI-generated video who want sharper, smoother output. Photographers working with stills may prefer Topaz Photo or Gigapixel from the same company, while the Studio bundle covers both image and video workflows in one subscription.
