AI Software That Rebuilds Detail in Video
It makes soft, noisy or old footage look sharper and cleaner.
Topaz Video, earlier sold as Topaz Video AI, is desktop software from Topaz Labs that uses AI models to enhance video. It can upscale footage to a higher resolution, reduce noise, sharpen soft shots, recover detail from compressed files and create extra frames for smoother slow motion.
Topaz keeps adding models. In May 2026 it announced Hyperion 2, a model that upscales standard-range video to HDR, and a Topaz Labs panel for Premiere Pro that sends clips to its cloud for enhancement without leaving the timeline. The course teaches the principles behind these models so your skills stay useful as versions change.
| Tool | Role | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Topaz Video | AI upscaling, restoration and frame interpolation | Fixing and improving source footage |
| Premiere Pro | Editing and finishing | Cutting the enhanced footage together |
| DaVinci Resolve | Editing and colour grading | Grading the restored footage |
| Runway | AI video generation and editing | Creating or changing shots with AI |
| After Effects | Motion graphics and clean-up | Titles and fixes on enhanced shots |
Software versions, models and plans change often. Check Topaz Labs for the current details.
Eight Capabilities You Will Use in Every Project
Each one is practised on real footage, not just demonstrated.
Raise SD or HD footage towards HD, 4K and beyond where it makes sense.
Reduce grain and compression noise from dark or old footage.
Recover clarity in soft or slightly out-of-focus shots.
Create extra frames for slow motion and 24-to-60 fps conversion.
Clean up interlaced footage from tapes and older cameras.
Reduce shake in handheld footage.
Compare models side by side before committing to a long render.
Choose codecs and settings for Premiere Pro, Resolve and the final delivery.
Which models and features are available depends on your Topaz version, your computer’s graphics card and your licence.
