I would love a feature inside Premiere that utilizes AI for upscaling and restoring videos. I have a substantial amount of standard-definition (SD) material that I'd like to improve in quality.
Nearest equivalent footage I have is 41 years old taken on a VHS JVC 'portable' combination of recorder and camera. The Recorder was so heavy you could only withstand it on your shoulder for 5 minutes !!.
I guess I need to run that footage (UK PAL format of my eldest daughter 1 day old) through Topaz.
Its low light and very noisy VHS so a good test!. Currently in digital format MPEG on a DVD.
In the meantime I'll just have to continue exporting clips on Premiere timeline for processing to Topaz and export back as ProRes 422 ready for smart rendering. I intend to check out the Topaz Ae Plug in which I have not done yet.
By the way - I assume it is best to send original clips from Premiere to TopazVideo Ai in Pro Res format, I guess the answer is yes to make processing faster?
I've used Premiere Pro before and was quite pleased with it. But, I recently switched to UniFab and have been enjoying its features. It offers 1080p/4K upscaling, SDR to HDR conversion, and built-in editing features with customizable output settings. The quality and processing speed are superb. It has a free trial, you can try UniFab AI Video Enhancer . I hope this helps!
