AI Upscale Premiere Pro

[agustinc99918424]

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.

did you find a solution for this?

Topaz Video Ai is still the best upscaling and clean up software for Video I have tried.

You need a decent GPU to speed things up.

For removal of Video noise (e.g. nightshots / high ISO) I have found Neat Video De Noiser plug in for Premiere very good too

Both of these links allow Trial/Demo modes before purchase

I agree with @JonesVid, both those products are quite good. I still need to do some tests with both as I see the Neat denoiser does really a great job. So, I'm trying to figure out if I should run Neat to denoise, then Topaz to sharpen and upscale, or Topaz first then Neat, or Just Topaz alone. Any one run these test before?

Hi @MyerPj  - I guess it may depend on the subject and lighting to some degree but I tend to go Topaz first to get it as good as possible them de-Noise with Neat.

Neat is now on V6, only just upgraded on that so minimal experience it so far.

I think I already mentioned in this thread (somewhere?) usually work in ProRes 422, but not on old footage.

Not done any in depth tests to determine which really is the best workflow. If it looks OK on the 4K monitor after processing  I just use that !

Topaz never did release a plug in for Topaz Video Ai in Premiere (which was promised), but seem to manage without it to be honest.

Topaz Video Ai vesion 6.2.0 seems to be working quite well with a 4080 Super GPU.

Have to give credit to Ann Bens for pointing me to Topaz Video Ai initially for DV Tape de-interlace,  upscale to HD and clean up 🙂
