Topaz Labs - AI based Video enhancement
We all know these crappy webcam-videos from the early and late 2ks but sometime there are very precious boys. A shame that there are only low resolutions and often action, cock and faces are pixelated.
I tried the software named in the title. It gives opportunity to enhance old videos, give them higher resolution and minimize artifacts. Missing picture-informations are added through extrapolizing from neighbouring pixels. I had some stunning outcomes (it's more an art, than science to calibrate the different options und controls). I think in the future that could be a good perspective to renovate old amateur videos. I like this kind of stuff very much, so it's interesting to get a much better video in the process.
But why in the future? Tbh the technic actually has some rough downgrades.
The software consumes alot computing power. You will need a good processor and graphic engine, to get an outcome in a reasonable time. I used my gaming machine and depended on the chosen option, I have spent 5/6 hours to process a video of 20 minutes (around 50MB input size) in higher res or 4 hours in only processing for better quality.
It reliable kills the artifacts and the quality suffers relatively little in general even though the resolution was stretched but you have some loss of details. In the overall experience of the picture it is mostly not annoying, but it is bad, if you want so see the details of a boys cock, contures are blurred and it gains a unrealistic soft look.
Even more bad are faces. If you have a person with strong facial expression or movement of the head, especially it is'nt near the cam, the faces transforms in blurry mud like in the movie "the ring". You have a mostly sharp environment and then this blurry heads. I think on the actual technical state this software is mostly recommended to use it, to enhance old homevideos with a wide scale focus, environment, parties, etc. Not even for videos where you often see people near.
So besides the great amount of time, you have to spent (so you are forced to choose the gems of your amateur collection for enhancement) it's not yet in the state to be usefull for porn.
i would like to see some of the things in his amateur collection hehe
Thanks for sharing your results. This technology will only get better over time and wow, we will see some gorgeous things from the past.
