Description
Topaz Enhance is a powerful After Effects and Final Cut Pro plug-in suite used for high-end video enhancement and quality improvement.
It can uniquely and effectively increase the actual resolution of videos with unprecedented results.
Topaz Enhance uses "super-resolution" video enhancement technology. This technology permits actual - not interpolated - resolution increase and detail recovery in videos by synthesizing video information from multiple adjacent frames to improve a selected frame.
Features
- Enhance low-resolution videos to SD Even YouTube-quality clips become a lot more usable after processing with Topaz Enhance.
- Upconvert SD to HD with unprecedented quality Super-resolution technology makes other upconversion methods obselete, as demonstrated here.
- Top-of-the-line deinterlacing An advanced motion-compensated deinterlacing method results in high-resolution progressive videos with few artifacts. Double the frame rate of interlaced footage, create a smoother 24p film look, and make super-smooth slow-mo effects.
- Remove video noise while preserving details Suppress noise without suppressing details using super-resolution. Ideal for increasing the dynamic range of dark footage while eliminating noise.
- Double the frame rate of interlaced video and make motion silky smooth.
- Increase video resolution for high-quality video upconversion. Topaz Enhance's proprietary super-resolution upconversion method explores information from multiple frames and is much more effective than any other known approach.
- Convert formats with a crisp, clean, and clear result.
- Reduce compression artifacts caused by codecs like Motion JPEG, miniDV, MPEG, etc.
- Enhance edges and details without noise amplification or edge halos.
- Fix color bleeding caused by color sub-sapling or analog formats.
- Create various special effects.
