This is it! Since I published that Gigapixel video everybody has been asking the same question "Why not just use Video Enhance" Well here you go, a fair comparison between 3 different upscaling methods using different Topazlabs software, I'll let you be the judge :)

3 жыл бұрын

Did Video enhance slightly desaturate the base image or did the other two over-saturate it ? They all look heaps better than what you start out with though. Curiously I think Deepspace Nine footage just seems ideal for testing this sort of stuff as it has just the right mix of content to really tell you if you are getting a good result - such as large areas of shadow, lots of close ups of skin and clothing - and fast moving images with the ships or weapon's fire. I think all of them do pretty good at stuff like fur and feathers on a bright image though - but I have seen some murky looking shadow detail on some results on various Genre experiments - so perhaps they give a good basis, as Like I said I think with an evenly lit starting image they all look pretty good - I think the thing you want to upscale might need to be "problematic" to give you a better idea how well it's doing. That is why I often think 1990's CGI cartoons are also a very good test for this sort of software too - things like Reboot, Or Beast Wars. Though I'd fall of my chair in shock if anything can make Mainframe's 1990's Action Man Cartoon look less messy than it does.

when you edited this comment it became unpinned. Just letting you know.

as a videographer and video editor, upscaling video to 4k, video enhance ai for me is the best. it has the least "processing" look and gives what i want for the size and quality. the other 2 add weird details+sharpening and color processing. i think gigapixel and sharpen are really good when it comes to a single photo, but for a video, especially when you tried an old footage of a person talking, it's video enhance ai. maybe it's all just depends on personal preferences.

Sharpen AI doesn't look natural at all: it even got rid of most of the original motion blur. The best is clearly Video Enhance.

Something to keep in mind is speed of Gigapixel will depend on compression speed of images, there should be a setting for that somewhere. Another thing is, you can turn off maximum ai quality, which will also speed it up. Difference between fastest and slowest Gigapixel can operate is something like 6-8x.

Awesome! how did it go

It was great to find your video and see this comparison. I had heard of Video Enhance A.I. and ended up getting all three of their main products (for different uses -- I'm a photographer as well). I find the Video Enhance A.I. quality to vary greatly by the codec used to upscale. Although Artemis seems faster, and on a frame by frame analysis looks better, it adds artefacts that make some videos look like plastic, where Gaia doesn't seem to do that so much, but isn't as sharp. I have not found any low quality video (e.g. SD video) that any of the codecs can upscale to decent quality HD or 4K (no shocker there!). But the most troubling upscaling is of interlaced DVD videos--there are only a couple deinterlace codecs (I think Dione TV and Robust?) and they have limited effectiveness, but do a credible job--not excellent, but ok. I noticed 2 issues with VE A.I.: 1) The MP4s it makes for upscaled videos have extremely high bit rates (impractically high), and I usually have to compress to make them manageable (= playable over my gigabit home network without significant rebuffering). I usually reencode them to H.265 to get a video a fraction of the size of the MP4 VE produces with no loss in quality. Often the reencoded video is an order of magnitude smaller (GB -> MB). 2) Though there is no indication of it in the interface, VE A.I. downsamples 5.1 mc & stereo audio to stereo 96kbps regardless of the original audio bit rate. This forces me to separate the video/audio streams and use VE to upscale the video, then rejoin the video and audio streams. This is impractical for the 100s of DVD videos I would upscale. Thanks for doing this comparison--I had planned to do something similar to determine best approach for a long list of videos I want to upscale (mostly DVD), but this has saved me much time. Great work! One enhancement I'd suggest: for any future comparisons, it's useful to use videos with different content, like faces or fast moving vehicles or sports events or dark scenes with lots of shadows. I suspect that some codecs will perform better on some video types, with no overall 'best' codec. That would make it easier to pick a codec based on the type of video content. But that's a lot of work. Wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to take on that much. Seems like Topaz Labs ought to do it as a marketing tactic to sell their products!

Hi David, great insights seriously, I had no idea about #2, I hope Topaz Labs notices comments like yours and fixes those issues, am pretty sure they are constantly collecting feedback since they regularly release new updates, VEAI has improved a lot since its first version.

This comparison was exactly what I was after. Thank you and great work! How do these compare with much faster motion in video with high motion blur? Since the clip was slo-mo anyway it was hard to tell if Gigapixel might handle motion blurred areas 'too sharply' or such.

Of course at the end the videos all have artefacts because he takes his sharpened, artefact free picture sequence from Topaz and scales it up with Premiere Pro to 4k in lossy h264 with lossy standard frame interpolation. Besides that noone of the viewers of this video can really judge over artefacts in his final videos because we watch the hard compressed youtube version of it. We get use to it while watching this shit quality the whole day but when you upload e.g. normal h264 compressed full hd footage to youtube and you compare your original footage with the youtube video you really can't believe it how the low datarate corrupts colors, sharpness (contrast) and fills parts of the image with more artefacts as you can find in a egypt museum.

On the other hand, it's unnaturally clean and looks too artificial. Video Enhance is naturally upscaled. But compared to Gigapixel, the picture is blurred.

Hey, that's not necesarily true,the GPU usage depends a lot on whether the plugin/effect is optimized to run on GPU, in regards to Premiere pro and AE etc. GPU usage will vary. However, I believe topazlabs software are constantly being optimized for GPU so i guess your theory applies here.

I am curious if you can enhance 4k footage with it? For instance taking 4k native footage and enhance it to get a clearer image.

Wow, it's amazing but i don't know What was Your Gigapixel run as ? if it's run as GPU, it's really so slow for 9 hours and because I was tested with RTX 3070, it was just completed about a hour

well today's version is much different than the one I used in this video, so that's a big factor besides the hardware part

Wait, what if you take a 720p video and upscale it to 1080p, and upscale that to 2k, and upscale that to 4k, and upscale that to 8k. Will that even work?

Video Enhance is best, you can edit around in premiere and get similar sharpening to gigapixel/sharpen A.I in 1/100th of the time

The Remini app has both image and video enhancing. For the free version, you can enhance 5 photos per day, and if you want to enhance videos, you must buy the app. The picture process takes about 1 minute to finish (don't know how long for videos). There are other features (colorize, animate, descratch, etc.), and after trying the app, I'm honestly quite impressed with the results. Btw @MDMZ, awesome video!

I haven't compared both workflows but keep in mind that more frames means longer processing time ;)

Gigapixel is not good at upscaling 480p videos, though.. looks like paint blobs up close from tests that I've done. At 9:01 If you want want to upscale a 720p video video to 4k and make it look as clear as Gigapixel, you can manually sharpen it after after you upscale a video using Video Enhance AI. I took took a frame from the original video and ran it through Gigapixel and used it as a reference to sharpen the upscaled video I ran in Video Enhance AI.
