Davinci makes it internally, and the "speed warp" option is even better than twixtor, from my experience. I would like to see topaz perform with a splash of water shot at 100fps, shutter 1/2000 and slow it down 10 times to 1000fps. Could you test it ? Your shot was a very easy shot to slow down. Even the basics options of premiere or davinci will do it easily.
good software, but the davinci slomo tool is very similar comparing the results and takes wayyyy less time on processing (+ you don't need to render/import etc)
Not really sure why you'd bother with exporting from DR first. The new Topaz has in/out selection, so you can just drop in the original file and select the part you need.
I have to agree with other comments. if you happen to own studio version of Resolve, could you compare something fast moving with Topaz AI? From resolve usually the best result with my experience is with Optical flow -> Speed Warp. Would be really interesting to see how Topaz AI performs compared to that.
@@Lord_common_sense Ofc, if the frames are not there, then there are only that many options left. Topaz does it also and I still havent had any idea how it compares, however I now own resolve studio and I like the result.
Actually, Topaz Labs’ Video AI can smear frame when creating them in slow motion. In my experience the only solution is to take the clip in to apps’ like Dust Buster + and interpolate the frames at small areas using a brush tool
In this specific clip where there is no complex movement, you would not be able to tell the difference between the DR Optical Flow and the Topaz Interpolation@@stevenseagondollararchives2060
I would love to see the result to compare with something like the butterfly flapping its wings or something else. A head turning slowly vs a head turning in slow motion is hard to really see how the program compares when it's pushed to interpolatethe frames.
Thanks, but with 60fps to play with and very relaxed action, this doesn't feel like it's really pushing Topaz that hard. A fast moving clip at 24fps would be a far more interesting challenge.
Topaz is really bad at slowing down a dancer, for example. Whatever settings I use... it's really not even close to Premiere's Optical Flow slow motion.
This is different from the method of general editing programs (Davinci, Premier, Final Cut). General editing programs are not good at this. It seems special to apply slow motion while correcting the quality.
The result is amazing regarding smoothness but am I the only one that thinks that it looks a bit weird? For some reason it reminds me of those "3d pictures" that are created from a 2 image. Just my 50 cents, great tutorial though!
Did you use optical flow in Davinci, because this doesn't seem as if you did as optical flow is always smooth. That doesn't mean it is going to be good, but it is always smooth.
John Chappell, a question for you. I have I used Topaz Labs’ Video AI since it was released for Mac. However, in as much as creating slow motion shots using this pp’ is easy, putting the clips back in to projects with conventional timeline fps is confusing. Do you convert slomo 240 fps clips to 30 fps or 25fps to conform to greater projects?
Import the video from Topaz, right-click on it and select Clip Attributes (or similar in Premiere, I forget). Than in that pop-up you can change the frame rate from 240 to 30, 25, or whatever your timeline frame rate is. Looking at Josh's media panel, it appears that he did the same thing; changing his 60fps recording to 23.976, slowing it down to what first see in Resolve, then he used Topaz to slow it down even further.
I have an Intel 4GHZ 27" iMac from 2015 and it takes a LONG time to do anything with Topaz Video (even upscaling). Perhaps with the newer M1/2/3 chips it will be more reasonable? The result though are pretty great.
What's your pc specs sir? Because I have topaz and it shows error messages whenever I try to upscale or slow down footage while exporting, I have an i5, and 1080 Nvidia ram 8gb

I think Topaz Labs’ Video AI slomo is second only to the older plugin by The Pixel Farm, Chronos, which may still be present in Nuke app’?
Applying something in Da Vinci Resolve makes editing difficult. The result is still much better in Topaz
it's always the small channels that have the best tutorials Lmao
straight to the point, thanks pal.
Wow, it actually looks very natural!

Optical flow is frame interpolation anyway, it's just the way the software/algorithm guess/fake the frames between the real ones that changes

Topaz Win🎉
If you increase the quality setting for optical flow in DaVinci Resolve, it performs the same function.
optical flow doesn't do what topaz video ai does

@@stevenseagondollararchives2060 then u haven't used optical flow-speed warp in DR-Studio my friend. You'll have to experiment more with it.

can premier pro do this?
Is there any drawbacks at all to 24fps to 60fps? Or should I shoot 1080/60 and upscale to 4K?

what shutter speed did u use?
How do you get export to ProRes in DR studio? I don't have ProRes option among codecs of Quicktime...
Amazing thanks

What computer specs you have ?

0:55 why not using speed warp (optical flow) instead of expensive topaz ai?
this ai has so many features. so ez to use. if u try u will like it
Sounds like someone doesn’t know how to get it free

I heard that Topaz is very slow at exporting clips. It is true? I think it is faster and more convenient to use davinci's "speed warp".
I have an Intel 4GHZ 27" iMac from 2015 and it takes a LONG time to do anything with Topaz Video (even upscaling). Perhaps with the newer M1/2/3 chips it will be more reasonable? The result though are pretty great.
Topaz is just slower. Period.
Mac mini M1 16gb version it's slow and rendering clips but saying that it can do some nice results
Not really. Not in 2024.

should be free
