Creative AI Video Upscaling Is Insane!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Big Thanks to LTX Studio for sponsoring this video. Join the waitlist here: bit.ly/LTXtheoreticallymedia

[@LouisGedo]

👋

[@LouisGedo]

1:27 WTF??? 😆 🤣 😂

[@LouisGedo]

12:08 I would definitely prompt for something like that........ it's an awesome experimental concept which tests the capability of the AI in a creative way! ❤️ 💙 💜

[@narottamzakheim5051]

still waiting XD

[@RenaissanceX2]

It's great that LTX Studio is adding more features but sadly I signed up for the wait list when they first announced themselves to the world. Wish I wasn't still waiting on access.

[@pratiknaikedu]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I was waiting for something like this and the Kling + Krea upscaling combo looks fantastic.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It looks so good! That extra layer of Topaz is really solid to my eyes too!

[@SyntheticSurrealism]

Loved the Keith Richards joke.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha- I knew someone would get...uhhhh, some satisfaction from it? Ehhh, they can't all be zingers!

[@jettlethedragonpeeltheoran8915]

That wasn't a joke.

[@astralpurrjection5931]

'You're so veiny, You probably think this upscale is about you'.

[@DiceDecides]

hah, good one

[@timetofly291]

Understood instantly. LOLOLOLOL

[@norbertszalko]

Nice videos! Yours are the best AI videos on KZbin. Thank you for making them :)

[@AIprotopia]

That animation preset rocked it 😮. Serious quality upgrade. Thanks for sharing, Tim. I am confused as to why Runway seems to be sitting still with all this amazing competition coming out. You would think they and Pika would have released Sora quality upgrades. 🤔

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Agreed! I tend to think they’re cooking in the kitchen. Runway has been silent for far too long. Like, suspiciously so. Big things very soon I think.

[@AIprotopia]

I hope you're right. I feel like they kinda started it.

[@Leonardfilming]

Apparently Topaz have no plans to make a creative AI upscaler for AI generate content for either photo or video, I don't know if this is true. As an owner I really hope they do because I fear it won't be long until the Topaz software is redundant.

[@Honestchuckytellsthetruth]

Not really happy with topaz . They keep saying it's the best upscaler, but I've seen cheaper ones give way better quality.

[@AG_before]

The sniper thing had me rolling 😆 . Yeah, it's really impressive where this is going. I wish KREA's image upscaler was a tad closer to doing what Magnific does. I know that's not what the video was about, but I thought I'd share. Thanks for putting this up Tim. 👍

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I'm going to circle back to the Krea upscaler once I get a chance to play around with it a bit more. I'm convinced with the right settings, we're going to get some super cool stuff out of it!

[@AIAnimationStudio]

Great run through, love the potential for this for raising the bar of AI generated content.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

This is going to be a WILD summer!

[@CameronKiesser]

Crazy how putting AI through AI is kinda like rough drafting going through the editing phase.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

The kitbash is one of my favorite things in the world. I’ll genuinely be a little sad when everything comes perfect out of the box.

[@agnesslovehealz]

Facts wild isn't it it's like sou chef and the chef

[@jonmath4182]

Once I was assigned the role of proofreading colleagues' letters, reports, minutes... 😐

[@TheBeanGreen]

Incredible! Glad I stumbled upon your channel. I've never been so excited for the advancement of a technology maybe other than VR. But seeing the exponential growth of AI video is pretty insane

[@Flix-AI]

Wow! That is impressive. Thanks for the video Tim!

[@NightmarePortalStories]

Great video, I really can't wait to use Kling

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Same! But, also don't stress out on the waiting. That "Kling Level" AI Video output will be the standard by this summer....or....sooner? Hmm, that lawyer's finger is starting to twitch again!

[@animateclay]

What if you upscale a video, then run it through the upscale again? Does it get twice as good?

[@chosenideahandle]

Well, in my experience things get more expensive over time lol. Great video.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It's true-- but we're in a golden age right now! All you can eat, no bill! (just...don't eat the shrimp...always a bad idea...)

[@virgilxavier1]

The problem I have with video to video ai is the shot to shot consistency. It just isn't there yet and is very difficult to clean up. I haven't tried ltx yet?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Hop on that waitlist! I think they're opening up the doors fully really soon. I'm going to test some of the shot to shot consistency this week. I think if you keep the AI sliders on the lower side, it should work.

[@JustArtsCreations]

I was not the biggest fan of LTX at first but man they have provided lately lol Thanks as always good sir

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

And they're just getting better. Honestly, one of my favs! Later this week is a REALLY cool one w/ LTX as well! Like, seriously-- it might be the best video I've ever done.

[@jettlethedragonpeeltheoran8915]

Krea does love adding contrast and HDR effects. I always include "HDR, contrasty" in the negative prompts.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Agreed. They need to dial back that HDR, or maybe provide a slider for it.

[@ezmusicman2671]

OK, now I'm impressed. Will definitely try it out.

[@CreativePunk5555]

Great video, nice work! So much competition hitting with the AI video. I feel they are all scrambling to get a "one up". But imagine your company gets to a good point to release an update - and then another company puts something out better than yours. Do you release, or get back to work to increase quality? I feel if someone like Runway or Pika release anything less than what we are seeing now would cause them to pause. Its also a tough crowd out there - anything less than what is expected from any of these companies would cause some harsh feedback. And the Keith Richards reference! haha. I feel if he stops doing drugs he would die. They are definitely keeping him alive, somehow. I need to look into his diet.

[@omnipop4936]

The morphing and shifting of the irises in the eyes (11:42, 11:48, 11:53) looks like the next hurdle to get over.

[@slackerpope]

Love your videos! I like your no bs style. Getting tired of AI hype, I just want to know what I can use to get projects done. You are greatly appreciated!

[@EllenVaman]

Yayyyy love 🎉 been waiting for this looooooong time … 👏🏻👏🏻😁

[@gigamarv]

Man AI evolves SO FAST and we are still at the beginning. It's stunning but at the same time scary. Where we at in 5 - 10 years from now? The gaming industry will be completely change within the next few years, till the hardware is good enough to run AI with ease on your own PC. There will be several AI engines or just THE ONE/EVERYTHING AI GAME ENGINE and you probably buy prompts for a game insteat of buying an actual game. Or you create your own game based on your own prompt. The future will be insane, it is so crazy.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

playing around with some new AI 3d stuff right now! Should have a video up pretty soon on all this stuff. I said it in Nov of last year: Start brushing up on some 3d basics! (And really, all you need is the basics!) Interesting stuff is coming down the pipeline!

[@circelink]

As always great stuff Tim, thanks!

[@FriscoFatseas]

Really intriguing video, well done i've subscribed, exciting times we are living in

[@micbab-vg2mu]

Thank you for the update :) we ase close to high quality videos generated by AI - we need to wait just few months:)

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Or less. Stay tuned. Today is going to be a big one!

[@RoboBoomStick]

this would be cool being used to upscale movies that effects are starting to look rough

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I'm going to run some experiments on that this week-- hopefully will have a fun video next week!

[@god1994FATHER]

@@TheoreticallyMediaGreat idea!

[@High-Tech-Geek]

12:03 Prompt: "Santa baby, just slip me the keys to a brand new Beetle for me."

[@Kenb3d1]

Really impressive stuff, I wondered if you were going to run the Krea output through Rope or FaceFusion first before then performing a final upscale. Would have been interested to see the results there. Shame about the Krea price point, but fair enough.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I still need to try that! More experiments coming soon! Curious as well to see which direction works best!

[@TashaCaufield]

Fantastic video, and great comparisons. Can really see the difference 👌🏽✨️

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Anyone else here been on the LTX waitlist for like 2 months?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Best bet: Join their discord! They drop access like candy over there!

[@spiritualrealm555]

Same here 🙄

[@Bittermandl]

What is the maximum length of videos for upscaling?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Good question. I have not pushed it yet. I'm going to do a followup using Dream Machine (have you seen that video yet? I just put it out) so, I'll test it out there!

[@Bittermandl]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Thank you for the quick reply, yes I watched, liked and wrote a comment on your last video! Like many others i had to wait quite some time for the result, but it is really impressive! Thx again for all your great content, with your friendly work it is a joy to stay updated about video ai!

[@Mureirsa]

i have been using krea for some months now and I love the enhancer tool. it is not afraid to be creative. however, unless the ai can process videos up to 5 minutes long i can't see it overtaking the other video ai software available any time soon

[@jason.martin]

These AI tools will be great for upscaling my live music videos from the 90's :)

[@High-Tech-Geek]

In Krea, what exactly does 1.5K resolution mean? What are your before and after resolutions?

[@AvoidTheseMemes]

The baby is riding the bug as a buggy because the baby is buggin

[@ChintamaniVartak]

Another great and informative video. Please make a new workflow of these apps for the best outputs + your experience and guide us. I want to make such videos and explore the possibility of using them commercially. I am ok with paid subscriptions if the output is usable in some way in a commercial project.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

1000%. By the end of the day, you’ll see something big drop. After that, I’ll start work on a comprehensive tutorial.

[@ChintamaniVartak]

@@TheoreticallyMedia Thanks in advance. Can’t wait to see the video.

[@HelamanGile]

Why not use Korea first and then use topaz on top of it to upscale it even more?

[@MrCheswickMusic]

I can't wait to eat after I've subscribed to all these new AI services ha ha

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I know-- it's insane. At this point, I'll tell my kids to pick up a drug habit before an AI habit. (I'm kidding, I'm kidding!!)

[@High-Tech-Geek]

With these creative upscalers, how do deal with character consistency? That seems to be the unattainable holy grail.

[@DiceDecides]

I liked the comparison from march 2023, 1 year in the AI world is truly a lot

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It’s always my go-to for the “it’s just not there” response. It might not be, but look where it was just a year ago.

[@alincristiantiganus4137]

Thank you for the video! I do have one question, if you could answer, please. I work with AI videos, and I would love to use Krea upscaler, but is there a way to upscale the video without changing the real footage, just give it a bit more details and clarity, without changing colors and textures?

[@TbaDigital-Art]

I've been on the LTX's waiting list for several months. Just waiting....

[@GJ-bh8kk]

Hi, just to clarify - can you get comparable results (I am talking only about upscaling, not the creative reimagining part) if you just use Topaz instead of Krea?

[@InnoVogue]

Signed up for the waitlist to LTX Studio a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago

[@meow9141]

There's a bunch of that halo effect going on with the upscaling, like when you put something though a sharpen tool on Photoshop on too high a strength

[@CyberwizardProductions]

still on track for full blown movie with sound from a prompt by end of 2025

[@dekalog]

The waiting list form is no longer active I believe

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I’ll reach out and see what the deal is. They might be close to launching wide.

[@musigxYT]

Hm I always had issues with any type of upscalers because the quality changes a little too much for my liking (guess I’m a little too a*al about that kinda stuff) but video upscaling might be something good to use if the original generation’s quality can be improved upon, albeit it still being random I guess. Thanks for the vid!

[@keithmandell9040]

Does this also work with REAL videos that are say old, like from the 1980s?

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

It does. I have some more experimenting to do, because those sliders become REAL important at that point, but I can confirm it works.

[@jonmath4182]

Ask keith man

[@ruebarb1]

​@TheoreticallyMedia Any more feedback , torn between this and Topaz to upscale old dvds that never made it to HD. Thank you

[@JayJay3D]

WOW, Krea done good on this (and remember its the worst its gona be). Would love to try this but at around £47 ($60) its a bit high for me currently when you add in other tools i pay for. May treat myself next month just to try it as it looks great.

[@johnpapadopoulos5687]

Ok, Keith Richards was.spot on!!!

[@rosesprog1722]

Keith Richards... WA HA HA, AI humor generation, GREAT!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I mean, this still is all so crazy, you just gotta laugh!

[@rosesandsongs21]

@@TheoreticallyMedia I was only laughing at Keith Richards, your presentations are all excellent, better than most in fact. Cheers.

[@5HTParty]

Krea wants $60/month for video enhance. Ok.

[@Leonardfilming]

It's only because the features is early access so give it a month or two and the lower tiers will have it.

[@FSK2]

In my upcoming video : The silent house i used an AI upscale feature in LTX studio.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Yup! I talked a bit about that in the LTX segment! The difference w/ the Krea version is that the Creative Upscale will "imagine" some new details for you. Some like that, some don't. I've always been a fan, and consider it a "second pass" on images-- but, I also like the fact that you can dial it down if needed.

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Tim: ...in my opinion this is going to be like standard operating workflow for AI videos going forward... Me: YAY! Tim; This is only available if you are on the Max plan (the $60 a month plan). Me: F*$#!

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

Haha, for now. I think. like the Image Upscalers, this will eventually just become standard across the board. But yeah-- it's a penny right now!

[@giri.goyo_yt]

@@TheoreticallyMedia (slumps) Back to the salt mines...

[@zakblackhawk204]

Actually, the UK has both lawyers and Barristers.... i doubt even they know what the difference is, though.

I've been waiting for at least a few weeks for LTX 😑

[@Crazy_Truth]

Where is chatgpt new voice model!?

[@gu9838]

ltx studio is ok but the beta NEEDS a better video model ASAP: or it will LAG behind kling, luma and runway gen 3 VERY quickly.

[@ECHSBACHS]

Sharp ; )

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

A bit costly right now, I understand-- but, I think this will follow the same pattern as the image upscalers and will soon be pretty much standard w/ all the Video generators soon enough. Still, amazing results.

[@timetofly291]

Will we still need over-priced actors in the near future?

[@5timesm]

Topaz is great, but paying for updates is kind of not so great, because it feels like they update every week so you‘re running out of free updates very quickly 😅

[@tonon_AI]

You dont pay for updates. When you pay again you get updates for a year...

[@EllenVaman]

And tx again 🥰

[@ScottReed]

We have awyers and barristers they are 2 different things 😅

[@artvsmachine]

Yeah, $60 a month to use that feature. Nah. Better off just paying for Runway unlimited and making HD renders in the first place.

[@TheoreticallyMedia]

I think it’s free now? Or it was for a minute, and now you can use it on the basic plan. Krea’s pricing is always a bit strange…you might want to check it out.

Well, you own THAT version of Topaz. I think after a year, you can choose to pay to upgrade, but it isn’t like it stops working after your upgrade license expires. You’re just stuck on that version. I kind of like that model, but I’m also saying that as someone who has Adobe CS6 somewhere in my house on a bunch of DVDs. Haha.
