AI Upscale Premiere Pro

I haven't installed it. I'm happy to use Topaz in the stand-alone version I kinda wish Neat would do a stand alone version. 

Even if Topaz had a plugin for Premiere, I might not use it if rendering is not done in the background.

Thanks Ann, yes I did mention that above.

I have not tried to see how efficient the workflow will be to use Ae with Premiere to export a clip from Premiere Timeline, use Ae for the Topaz processing (Plug-In)  and return it back.

Seems not much benefit over exporting a clip direct from Premiere?. I might be wrong so need to try it.

Topaz Ai video has a plugin for Ae now.

Well, despite all the promises of a Premiere Pro plug in for Topaz Video Ai, as of now no word if it. We have After Effects plug in and for Da Vinci Resolve. Resolve seemd to jump the queue 🙂
Like the posts above, I am also just exporting noisy clips and processing outside then re- importing as ProRes as I am using smart rendering workflow in Premiere.

I have posted queries on Premiere Pro release date but no answer from TopazLabs product management. Maybe it has been shelved?

Upscaling HD or DV tape footage in Topaz is excellent - but can be slow 

I don't think this has been mentioned yet:  After Effects has Detail-preserving Upscale.  It's meant for a scale increase for video or stills up to 200%.  It was originally introduced for SD to HD but works well for HD to UHD.

After sending a clip to After Effects, it can be found under Effect > Distort > Detail-preserving Upscale.

I use it for anything from 110% to 200%.

If needing to go above 200%, I'll use Topaz Labs Video AI.

Now that we have the Topaz Video AI plugin for After Effects, I should probably install it and get in the habit of using it.  I'm also excited to see that they're working on their plugin for Premiere Pro.  

A native Adobe tool in Premiere Pro, perhaps a variation of Photoshop's Super Zoom Neural Filter, would be great to see so that we have an option that's included with our Creative Cloud subscription right inside our Premiere Pro Timeline.  While Super Zoom can be used with video in Photoshop, I'd say it's clunky at best to get a clip rendered from Photoshop (it uses Adobe Media Encoder, but not in the background).

Looks good, I'll give it a try.

I saw someone use Topaz to upscale Viva La Bam and the result it quite nice. But $300 is quite pricey for ocassional users as me. Then I digged through google and find some free/open source alternatives, basically they are GUI for AI uspcaling algorithms such as Real-ESRGAN.

As some of you may have seen - Beta Plug In for Topaz into Premiere Pro coming very soon (Q1 2024 I would think )

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I have been exporting to Proress 422 10bit to insert into Topaz, asuming if I exported as H264 mp4 8bit, it would loose more details that could make Topaz not work as good.
