Desktop app for AI upscaling, deinterlacing, denoising and frame interpolation
Topaz Video AI is a desktop application for restoring and enhancing footage that already exists rather than generating new footage. It upscales resolution, removes noise and compression artefacts, deinterlaces old video, stabilises shaky handheld shots, and interpolates frames to raise the frame rate or create smoother slow motion. Different models are tuned for different sources, such as live action, animation or heavily compressed web video, and you pick one per job. For archive work, old family tapes and phone footage that has to hold up on a large screen, it remains one of the few serious options available to a single editor.

No. It processes video you already have, improving resolution, noise, stability and frame rate. If you need new footage created from a prompt, a generation model is the right category of tool instead.
Longer than you would like, and heavily dependent on your GPU and the output resolution. Hour-long source files can take many hours to process, which is why batch jobs are usually left running overnight.
It helps with noise, motion blur and low resolution, but nothing recovers detail that was never recorded. Over-processing introduces a plastic look, so restraint and a preview comparison usually win.
