4k Topaz Settings

[Loree Naumann]

Iam using the Blue Topaz theme for Obsidian and it looks great. However, I want to change the font the default font, but I see no way to do that. I see the picture for the Blue Topaz theme suggests there is a Style Settings plugin, where can I access that?

Yes, the Community Style Settings plugin is used by quite a few themes to customize the settings. Blue Topaz is quite an overachiever in this area, there are a TON of things to customize. So definitely go ahead and install and activate that plugin.

Take a look at this still frame I grabbed from the NASA Atlas V launch containing the Mars rover payload, Curiosity. Do you see the blockiness and smudges throughout the entire still frame, especially in the smoke plumes and buildings surrounding the rocket?

Now that you have a sense of what our source material looks like, here are the steps I took to determine which model in Video Enhance AI worked best for this purpose, which model settings were used, and which export settings I used to create the output file.

This first step is especially obvious, but I want to be thorough with my instructions. As such, the first thing I did was launch Video Enhance AI and click on the Browse button. I then navigated to the location of the source clip and opened it up.

Clicking the Compare button will bring you into the Comparison View mode. This is an extremely helpful view because it lets you simultaneously compare three AI models on the same clip. This is the best way to truly determine which AI model will best serve your needs.

The next setting I will choose is the output size. This setting will determine the upscale rate of the output video. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, the resolution of this source clip is 1280 x 720, or 720p. I want to output it at 3840 x 2160, or 4K. That will yield a 300% increase in resolution while also improving image quality. But remember, 4K is not the only upscale option for HD resolution. With Video Enhance AI, you have access to a variety of common resolutions to meet whatever your video project needs are.

Finally, I will choose the output video format options. Most of the time, I prefer the MP4 - H.264 option because it is possibly the most widely used format for sharing video online. Next, I sett he Constant Rate Factor to 0, which will yield the highest quality results.Step 5 - Previewing the AI Step 5 - Previewing the AI models

However, once the processing is complete, you will be left with a higher-resolution video that has enhanced detail and improved quality. To illustrate what I mean, here is the 4K upscaled version of the Atlas V launch clip I shared at the beginning of this article. As you can see, in addition to the 4K resolution, the added detail throughout the video makes this amazing moment even more spectacular.

Now that you have a better understanding of how easy it is to upscale and improve the quality of digital videos, why not give it a shot with your own clips? Click here to learn more about Video Enhance AI and be sure to download a free trial today!

For a RAW file that I want to clean up noise in I copy all my adjusted settings, then reset them and then edit that in Denoise. I then paste those copied settings to the new Tif file from Denoise. The profile does not paste as originally copied. I have it set to Adobe Standard but the pasted setting is Adobe Color and cannot be changed to Adobe Standard.. Also, the White Balance settings do not copy at all. I do have all the settings checked in the copy box. There is no problem when copying and pasting from one RAW file to another. It only happens after processing in denoise with a Tif file. Is this because it is a Tif file or does this not seem right?

WB is also baked into the TIFF. It's usually best to apply ALL of the LrC Develop settings BEFORE using Topaz Denoise. Exception of course are the Detail panel NR settings. The reason for doing this is to insure no data is lost due to highlight or shadow cliping and dynamic range lost if the image requires large WB correction (tungsten, fluorescent, etc.).

When you send a raw file from LrC to another application the raw data is rendered and all your edits from LrC are baked into the tiff file any other edits done in the other application is baked into the tiff when you save to return the image to LrC.

So the first application that works with the raw file does the rendering applies edits, when another works with that file they are working with a rendered file. I am not aware if Topaz has a stand alone application that supports raw files?

When it comes to enhancing video quality, you may find yourself pondering two fundamental questions: What is the best way to enhance video quality? And which video quality enhancer stands out from the rest? Among the available options, Topaz Video AI is one of the best video quality enhancers, favored by numerous users encountering the situations outlined below:

1. You downloaded the low-resolution videos that lack visual quality from platforms like YouTube. Take, for instance, Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video, filmed back in 2008. The currently available version is limited to a mere 480p resolution. However, thanks to video quality enhancers, we now have access to stunning 4K remastered versions.

2. You recently copied digital versions of family VHS tapes, DVDs or VCDs, but the output video turned out to be very fuzzy, noisy, interlaced, and low resolution. You are seeking a good video quality enhancer that can magically transform them into high quality.

For those who come across the situations mentioned above and seeking to enhance video quality using Topaz Video AI, keep reading to discover this most comprehensive tutorial for more valuable insights and guidance. Here we take V4.0.0 as the demonstration.

To begin our exploration of how to enhance video quality by using Topaz Video AI, let's first get to know the program's user interface and familiarize ourselves with its AI Filters and their corresponding AI Models. By doing this, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the main features before diving into the techniques for enhancing video quality.

Before get started, please make sure your Windows has a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA GTX 900 or higher, AMD Radeon 400 or higher, Intel UHD 600 Graphics or higher) with at least 4GB GPU memory, or your Mac has M1 or M2 chip.

After importing a video, you will see the interface as shown below. It seems a little bit confusing at first glance but it is still easy to get started. The interface was more complicated before V3.0.0.

Frame Interpolation: Create new frames for FPS conversion or slow motion effect. For example, you can select this filter to convert FTS from 30 to 60 or create 2x, 4x, or 8x slow motion.

Enhancement: Improve the visual quality of the video. This filter is tailored to improve the quality of three kinds of videos, including progressive, interlaced, and interlaced progressive video. If you are not sure which one you should choose, please refer to the following explanation.

Topaz Video AI V4.0.0 offers 9 AI models in total. It removes some outdated models and organizes all models by AI filters since V3.0.0, thus allowing its users can choose the right AI models more easily than before. If you are still trying to figure out the difference between the models and have no idea about what model to use, you can look at the explanations for each model.

Iris - Face /LQ/MQ: Iris is Topaz's first face enhancement AI model, released in June 2023. It is recommended for very low-resolution and medium-resolution videos and works best on interlaced, noisy, or compressed footage with degraded faces.

Nyx - HQ Denoise: The denoise model reduces noise and fixes compression artifacts. It is optimized for denoising high-resolution videos captured in dark lighting conditions with high ISO settings.

Please wait while the Setup Wizard installs Topaz Video AI. Once the installation is complete, launch Topaz Video AI to step in the welcome interface in which you can select to activate the program so as to access the full version or try the app for free.

Select a Preset: From the Presets window, choose a preset that fully fits your requirements. Here we take "Upscale to 4K" as an example. By choosing "Upscale to 4K" as the preset, the corresponding enhancement filters, output resolution, and output format will be activated automatically.

If you are already familiar with the program, you can take control of the program by manually choosing AI filters, AI Models, Video Type, and tailoring the output (resolution, bitrate, quality level, format, and more) to your exact preferences.

By organizing each AI filter with customizable and fine-tuning options, you have the flexibility to simultaneously select multiple filters. For instance, you can upscale video to 4K and convert it to 60 FPS by selecting both Frame Interpolation and Enhancement as the AI filters.

To configure the AI Filters and AI Models, you have two options: selecting a Preset or manually adjusting the settings yourself. Once you've made your selection, click the button next to "Export As" to open the output settings window. Here, you can customize various aspects including the Encoder, Profile, GPU, Bitrate, Quality Level, Audio Mode, and Container.

At last, don't forget to select your preferred output resolution and frame rate if you manually choose the AI Filters and AI Models. This step is crucial to ensure that you achieve the desired results for your project.

Tips: To ensure optimal compatibility with media players, Windows users should opt for MP4 as the container and H.264 as the encoder. On the other hand, Mac users should select MOV as the container, and choose between H.264 or ProRes as the encoder. Following these guidelines will guarantee the proper playback of the output media files.

After all configuration is done, you shall start the preview of the enhancement effect to make sure the outcome is what you expected. Generally, previewing 30 frames should tell you the obvious improvements between before and after. Here we pick up the default option "Preview 2s" to start the preview.
