    Increase video resolution and enhance the output

    • Let’s start with upscaling. This app relies on AI models, which are trained on countless upscaled videos. Unlike other similar software, Video AI doesn’t handle each frame as a separate image. Instead, it analyzes surrounding frames to ensure the results are accurate.
    • There are multiple upscaling models you can use, depending on the type of input video, its quality, and the various issues it may be plagued with. Once you’ve set a few basic parameters (video quality, type, and artifact type), the app recommends an AI model, which can be further customized.
    Increase video frame rate and create slow-motion effects

    • Aside from boosting resolution, Video AI can also add new frames to create a smoother-looking video. It generates new frames using the Chronos AI model, which should provide better results than basic frame blending.
    • Since the app can add new frames, that means you also have the option of creating slow-motion effects. These rely on the same model, while also slowing down playback speed.
    Excellent results — but might need some tinkering

    • The program is very easy to work with, and the suggested models tend to be suitable, but not always. It’s generally a good idea to try out multiple models to see which provides the best results. This can be particularly tricky when trying to increase resolution while preserving fine details that blend in with compression artifacts, but I was always able to get a better-looking video in the end.
    • It’s also good not to be overly optimistic. While the app can upscale videos to up to 8K, if you’re trying to process an old 480p clip, you’re asking for a lot.
    Relatively fast processing and simple workflow

    • As far as rendering speed is concerned, video upscaling is always going to be a slow process. However, Video AI runs natively on Apple Silicon processors and can take full advantage of their far superior capabilities. If you’re on an older Intel Mac, however, you’re going to have a lot of waiting to do.
    • All in all, Topaz Video AI is one of your best options for video upscaling at the moment. It can compete with any other app of its kind, and its intuitive design makes it an attractive option for non-professionals and those who rely on a straightforward workflow. It also supports batch processing, which is great if you have a bunch of smaller clips to go through.

    run the code in the included text file in Terminal after you install the software. Don't open it until you use the termina.

    Try uninstalling using App Cleaner (free) and then try installing again.

    Be sure to install the dmg first, let it finish and then copy and paste the code from the readme file to the terminal. Once that's done it should be up and running.

    My install works fine.

    Have you tried rendering out a test video? If it doesn't have a watermark, then you can ignore the trial bit.

    make sure you put your password into the terminal before opening the app. The patch must be applied before the software can be opened.

    yeah. since they've introduced the "pro" version, this one chugs a bit. but it still works.
