About Topaz Video (formerly Topaz Video AI)
Topaz Video is desktop software that uses AI models such as Starlight, Proteus, Iris and Chronos to upscale low-resolution footage, remove noise and blur, deinterlace, stabilize and create slow motion by generating new frames. It renders locally with optional cloud credits, and a browser version plus API is also offered. It is used by filmmakers, archivists and editors restoring or enhancing footage.
