Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Too expensive and no idea how much each clip costs to render, I did not see any difference between my original clip and what rendered!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Been using it and it does exactly what it says on the tin, its great.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Very annoying and in effect UNACCEPTABLE that the 400 monthly credits expire after a month if not used. Having to pay for software that just burns money even when not used is outrageous. Topaz has become a bunch of MONEY GRABBERS!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not working, even with a decent Mac computer and very good internet connection

Astra 2 Starlight 2.5 is currently the best video upscaler which I know. In particular, the lifelike rendering of AI-generated faces (with realistic skin texture) is outstanding. What could work better: - When upscaling from HD to 4K, there is occasionally a “cryptic oversharpening in fantasy fonts” of characters that are blurred in the HD version. In some cases, this can be masked and slightly softened in post-production using Adobe Premiere or After Effects, but that takes a lot of work. It would be better to leave text objects that are unreadable in the original blurred. - Faces that are quite small (but still clearly recognizable) in the original are sometimes oversharpened during upscaling, resulting in unsightly artifacts and unusable results. This occurs particularly with poorly lit subjects (e.g., a person standing in the shadows).
