Good for
- Shots that need as much added texture as possible
- AI-generated or low-resolution video that should come out at the largest size
Getting good results
- The model snaps to its own output sizes, usually the largest, whatever factor you ask for; the price follows the size it delivers: $1.25 per second at the top.
- Use it when inventing texture is welcome; for footage that must stay true to the source, use a precision upscaler instead.
Topaz Astra 2 questions
Why is it the most expensive video upscaler here?
It is the creative tier: it reimagines fine detail instead of preserving it. It costs from $0.75 per second, against $0.30 per second for Topaz Starlight Precise 2.6.
