Hello, I just want to know what is the best A.I Model for a amateur VHS video in 720*416 resolution, I want to enhance this in 4k. Does the model Artemis LQ make good result ? I join on this topic screenshot from the original video, thank you very much. !
hi @tony11
I just purchased the video enhance ai software and am about to improve my 10 old VHSvideos.
Would you be willing to describe step-by-step (and settings in video enhance ai) how you were able to get great results in restoring your media?
Also known as inverse telecine (IVTC), reverse telecine is a process that can be used to remove the effects of taking a source and stretching it from 24 frames per second to 29.97 frames per second. This involves removing the added information from the frames to return it to the 24 frames per second.
For example, frame 1 might be converted into frame 1A and frame 1B through interlacing, with each being a vertical odd or even sequence that is interlaced. However, frame 2 might be converted into frame 2A, frame 2B and frame 2C, with the last one being duplicated content that is used to gradually increase the frame rate. As part of reverse telecine, this added content would be removed to restore the video to its original frame rate.
Is there a way to sharpen video (like sharpen AI does for images) without changing resolution?
Right now I use sharpen AI to sharpen video that is saved as image sequences, then put those images back into a video. There should be an easier way.
Sure. If you use the Proteus model (or Theia, for that matter), there are separate sliders for both sharpening and detail recovery. Just experiment with those while setting the output resolution to 100%. There are also sharpening algorithms in freeware like DaVinci Resolve which are pretty good.
Topaz Video AI is good enough to scale footage and do some tricks for enhance resolution, slow motion and sharpness with good looking footage, but if your footage is a bit out of focus, with some noise, Topaz Photo AI is the only way to solve this (nowadays)
Unfortunately, the 12th Gen looks like it will be the charm. The i9 will avoid overheating my having a CPU chip with a lot more surface area. It will run slower, but will have many more cores the 10th or the 11th did so it will be much faster for multi-threaded application processing. And, it will also have the enhanced GPU capabilities.
As for cooling, I am developing what I think will be the ultimate cooling solution. I am planning on building a prototype as soon as it gets cool enough to starting using my garage machine shop. (And my wife gives me the time to do it. )
I think 14th gen is doing a 20% uplift. I think it would be better to get a second box do a small ITX build and just let it roll 24/7 at this point because things are getting really fast. Cheap to if you have a good job. (I do)
I can power limit by like 50% on my 3080 and still get the same performance. I am happy i am sitting this one out. I hope by the time 5090 launch most of this stuff will be fixed and optimized but i understand they are a small team.
terryleemartin13, as a workaround you could save / export as png in Video Enhance AI, if you have the disk space. That way, if it crashes, you should be able to restart the program and pick it back up at the exact frame where it crashed.
But Video Enhance AI should really do this on its own for anamorphic content, since it produces superior results when scaling such content as 1:1 FIRST, then desqueezing and resizing to the final dimensions.
Video Enhance AI Could USE Pro Formats Like ProRez ,DNxHD and DNxHR .Also Mov and AVI Formats Uncompressed Video Formats.AI could be Dime on active frame. Features From Denoise AI,Sharpen AI Adjust AI Giga Pixel AI could be Added too.Video Editor Programs Like Pinnacle Studio use Public codecs like FFMPEG .Perhasp Video Enhance AI would better as Effect Plugin for Adobe or Vegas17.Standalone Video Enhance AI could read the metadata to Denise And enhance it.
Through the support forums, I found this was a symptom of interlaced video. A small sample encode made me think I was right, but when I let the whole thing finish the audio was so far off at the end that it was unusable.
If they are, you could try (if you have the drive space) extracting every frame as a png from the Video Enhance AI output, then recombining them with the exact frame rate from the DVD.
Meanwhile the best and most impressive results I get, if I downscale up or down to 640x480 and then using the CG render modus with 200%.
I guess, the AI learnings are not below or above 640x480.
This should fixed by time.
Seeing the comments about interlaced video I will def try this for my next test (I assumes you could not use interlaced video). Quick question - does anyone know, if I import 25i video will the exported video be 50p? Currently I am encoding interlaced videos with bob de-interlacing and double the frame rate to keep the same motion. Does/will Video Enhance do this automatically?
OK, my before named settings for post production working mostly pretty good for footage of e.g towns.
For landscape footage, I test now, no settings and no up-/downscaling before using VEAI are helping:
VEAI consequencly adds small structures on trees and grass. The results are always not useful.
With the new upscaling feature of Photoshop/Bridge Enhance image you can double the size of the original image while still maintaining image quality and details. I tried this feature on a bunch of different images and compared it with Topaz Gigapixel Ai which I already owned and used a lot in the past. I can right away say that the results are pretty close, but there is a clear winner here.
Topaz Gigapixel Ai I have been using for a while now and I was always amazed with the results it produced, so if course I was very curious if the Photoshop Enhance feature would also give similar results.
One of the things I never liked with Gigapixel was its speed and intensive use of my computer power. I do most of my work on a laptop so upscaling could sometimes take up a couple of minutes raising the heat of the computer making the fans kick off.
Photoshop Enhance after my first try was blazing fast in comparison with Gigapixel, so on speed Photoshop scores point in this area straight away.
The Photoshop Enhance upscaler can only be used once (but saving it as a new file and repeating the enhance feature will work but this will not give the best results) so you are able to double the size. The Gigapixel Ai upscaler can go way bigger. Of course upscaling too far will not result in great quality but Gigapixel times 4 upscaling compared to enhancing twice did give noticeably better results.
Had great luck up-rezzing (spelling?) a color transfer that came in at 2k. Footage was great, just too small. Topaz rocked it out, but I did not figure out how to carry timecode across and the missing first frame issue is still there. Also, no ProRes 4444 support - so I went with ProRes422HQ.
To fix the timecode - I re-ingested without caching the original 2k clips, set to 4k on ingest, then put the new up-rezzed clips on top, re-exported in case the editor wanted the 4k plates.
You should have a moan about it on their feedback forum. I had a massive winge about the preview system not being as good as it used to be. This really sweet girl from topaz development organised a zoom call, and I ended up going through everything I wanted added or fixed. In the new version 4 I can see some of it has been implemented.
She was really chuffed to understand what a really pro user needed.
Was just curious if anyone know any apps that can enhance video quality? Like if I have some old 4:3, maybe there a way or an app to bump it up to HD without much loss. I hear AI is changing the field.
There's a few things out there but there's a FCPX plugin called Image Sharpener 2 that is quite good and inexpensive. I've used it on some old DV SD footage with nice results. You can get it through FX Factory
the one linked there is to the image inhancer product, not the video one. From what I've seen it's heavy usage on the CPU/GPU so it can take a lot of resources and time to enhance video but the results are impressive.
