Video Enhancer AI software Shoot out! Topaz Video AI vs HitPaw Enhancer AI

[@GatorMcKluskyRules]

I need to re-enhance my entire life... Could use that free year! Cheers! Craig

[@VideoTutors]

You and me alike.

[@VideoTutors]

Hello Craig, I feel like you an enhancement of some things particularly knees and memory would be a great outcome for me anyway. I can't offer that but your humor tickled me so I am awarding you the free 12 months sub to HitPaws Enhancer. Could you contact me by email. [e-mail]

[@Dashtapper]

Thank you for this comparison. What isn't called out here is that today HitPaw is $43.99 USD PER MONTH -- which isn't obvious on their homepage until you hit the Buy Now button. They also have a $99 a year (which if you plan to use it more than 2 months, is much better. They have a lifetime license (today), for $350. But the question is how often does Hitpaw update their software, if at all? Unfortunately I've been burned before, where I bought the lifetime license and company never does another update on that software.

[@VideoTutors]

Your concerns are pertinent for any software. But I would say if you don't have frequent use, the fee is the best choice as at least you will get a new version if there is one when you buy a second year.Besides a lot is happening in is market segment so there could be a new beaut app in a years time

[@andythefork]

Thank you for pointing that out. I thought a one-time price of $44 was pretty easy to say yes to, but MONTHLY...

[@Michaelkroh]

Uhhh try $70 per month now... $70/mo or $110/yr as of May 2024

[@amirbahalegharn365]

for me, after preview comparisons with different models, i come to conclusion that for a 360p-480p video(drama series from 2004) , it's better to use ""upscale to HD", stabilization full frame, reduce jitter motion & rolling shutter correction, 1-2passes, motion deblur themis, no frame interpolation , in enhancement Iris model with 30 recover face, other default options, i used 5-10Mb constant bitrate quality . the extra output size & computation or time , it won't make a meaningful difference so i stick to 720p x265 500-1000kbs for upscaling any old 240p-360p files

[@VideoTutors]

Thanks very much for the detailed description - I will certainly try that out.

[@VideoTutors]

Best comment in the next 10 days will receive a free 12 months subscription to HitPaw Video AI. Good luck

[@brandon.scherr]

Sorry, its been a little over 10 days because I was rendering and exporting. :) Do I still qualify?

[@SupSupa10]

Why don't you compare Topaz vs Hitpaw with same footage than compare side by side ???? That's more fair.

[@VideoTutors]

That sounds like I need to do another review

[@protennis365]

Hitpaw has a paywall for some reason for accelerated time.

[@VideoTutors]

I had not noticed. Will check it out

[@MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

So Hitpaw is for real. Thought it too good to be true for the price. If Adobe had something like this, they'd charge 2 bars of gold and a pint of blood annually. The colorized video does slip back to black and white in some areas. I'm most interested in Hitpaw's photo deblur feature and Topaz's frame interpolation capacity for slow motion and increasing FPS.

[@VideoTutors]

The colorize works best with good contrast.

[@Michaelkroh]

$70/mo is too good to be true for the price?

[@semido6613]

OTRA PREGUNTA, PORQUE NADIE HACE VIDEOS, CON EJEMPLOS DE PELICULAS O SERIES ANTIGUAS?? SIEMPRE HACEN EJEMPLOS CON PELICULAS NUEVAS, QUE NO HAY MUCHA DIFERENCIA,CUANDO LO EDITAS

[@VideoTutors]

I agree

[@ppuwadon9110]

I've been using Topaz Video AI for 3 months so I'm looking for a new software to use. HitPaw Enhancer AI is easy to use. and suitable for my small work. Thank you✌✌

[@VideoTutors]

Good luck with HitPaw - maybe there's a 12 month sub coming your way

[@semido6613]

PORQUE LOS VIDEOS NO SALEN CON BUENA CALIDAD?? ADEMAS SALEN CON LAS DOS BANDAS NEGRAS A LOS COSTADOS, SIENDO QUE LO CONVIERTO EN FULL HD, 1920 X 1080P, Y 16,9 RESOLUCION. QUE SE PUEDE HACER???

[@VideoTutors]

You need to resize the completed videos to suit the aspect ration that you need

[@hansleeuw2840]

Did you also look at frame rate conversion? For what it's worth, Topaz clearly shows fps while hitpaw works with bitrate, which is pretty awful. Not so much easy to use there....

[@VideoTutors]

Another reason to have Topaz as the top dog - at a price

[@delosreyesgino]

I have a slightly defocused shot that was shot in ARRI Amira in UHD ProRes 422HQ. I don't really want to up res it but can it fix it? What settings should I try?

[@VideoTutors]

You can't do that with Hitpaw

[@gjpatin]

Que clase de pc necesitas Memoria ram GpU Espacio de disco etc Porque se que si no tienes la pc adecuada un video de 30 minutos puede tomar hasta 64 horas para mejorarlo

[@VideoTutors]

Soy usuario de Mac y seguramente necesitarás una Mac M1 o M1. No sé sobre PC

[@andythefork]

Does HitPaw not smooth out (interpolate) framerate? Odd omission from this comparison.

[@VideoTutors]

Good question for their support

[@neilsnow7973]

What if you used them both to enhance? How would that come out? Or is it even worth it? I mean so you can get the best of both?

[@VideoTutors]

Interesting point that you bring up. I think the minor advantages, id any would not be financially viable.

[@SovereignKnight74]

Hmm... I like how Topaz AI lets you tweak settings, but I like how simple Hitpaw is. Topaz tends to blow up video sizes to crazy proportions somtimes. I think for me, Hitpaw is the clear winner here. Especially considering the signifigance in cost! Topaz AI is outrageously expensive, and does not equate to function vs it's outlandish price.

[@VideoTutors]

I think they bpth have their place - from a quality point of view Topaz is a clear winner, but that needs to be balance with the cost and ease of use as you point out.

[@twcmultan3284]

no hitpaw is stupid bcz they dont have manual mode all videos never same so if they not give us in future manual mode also where many option are they set there for tweak and adjusting then topaz will win bcz auto video handling not always right thing -_-

[@dimigaming6476]

Nahh Topaz wins for sure. Both have their place but hitpaw is for the simpler edits

[@crossx695]

Hitpaw -$69??? It is $350 on their website, did not get good results with it myself, faces looked distorted

[@VideoTutors]

I've just checked on their website. $69.00 from $239.00. www.hitpaw.net/hitpaw-video-enhancer.html

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

Great comparision video. How does topaz video ai compare to AVCLabs video enhancer ai, dvdfab video enhancer and hitpaw? Is AVCLabs best for recovering faces? I would like to know which apps can be combined for certain purposes. I am still waiting for an app that can remove dust and scratches with AI. Neat video can remove dust and scratches but it doesnt remove it accurate and thorough. I guess i have to test them all via trials. I do own topaz video ai. I use it weekly

[@VideoTutors]

I have a shootout topaz vs AVC.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnisqYx9f9Wfbc0. Have not tried dvdfab. I agree that AVC recovers faces better but sometimes just too much to give a cartoon look. I prefer Topaz for that. Topaz seems to be faster and gets speeds up each update. I use neat video for grain, have not tried with scratches in front of mind. when it comes down to it, they all seem to have strengths and it good they are competing as it keeps them all developing

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

​​@@VideoTutors Thanks for your reply! I will test them all thorougly on the same footage. Curious to see the results. I have seen your video about AVCLabs vs Topaz. Dont think if the results are different now due to updates.

[@VideoTutors]

let me know what you find out , if you have time.

[@ryanworkman3032]

The quality may be comparable but is there any difference in the processing time. I use AVC and it works really slowly.

[@VideoTutors]

All video enhancers are really slow - there is just so much processing to be done. The speed between Topaz and AVC is similar and the HitPaw maybe a little slower. I am just about to publish a review of an online option which does seem considerably quicker than the desktop options even taking into account the upload and download times. The review will be published on my youtube site next Tuesday.

[@ryanworkman3032]

Hi! Can you tell me please, how many time wool I need to enhance an old 30 minutes video using one of this tool?

[@VideoTutors]

the time will depend on the power of your computer. But work on several hours - under 10 hours

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you dont just compare this to current video , like regular cameras nowwww omg

[@VideoTutors]

because it was published 12 months ago

[@lolloll8781]

Great review. When will you review the latest Topaz Video AI Update? They came out with a Face Enhancer model that is MUCH better than the face enhance model in HitPaw. I'd love to see what your VHS video would look like with it. I've used it on many of my VHS videos and the results aren't perfect but they are pretty good considering the original low resolution.

[@VideoTutors]

Thanks for hurry up to review the face enhancer - I have it in mind in a queue of things "to be done".

[@lolloll8781]

@@VideoTutors Awesome! Looking forward to it.

Is the face enhance included in v3.0? I just realized I still have 2.6.4

[@seyadabuthahir315]

Which software take less time to export topaz or hitpaw ???

[@VideoTutors]

They both seem to be about the same overall different options can be quicker with one than the other. My guess is that Topaz is a better option - about the same speed but better quality overall and can be adjusted.

Thanks for that. I am intending to review the Pixbim upscaler when they have their Mac version available .

Hi thank you> I have some music video recorded 2010 with sony XD cam than on Sony Betacam and now as pro res I have them in digital. 720 it is a pitty. I have tested Topaz and Hitpaw but my face was too sharp! Orrginal is much more organic. Can you please advice me which other brand can help me upscale video without making them un natural sharp. I will be very happy.

[@VideoTutors]

what version of Topaz. I have just reviewed version 4.04 and find it much more realistic that earlier versions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKGWeoSMfsmApacsi=mIXok1eY75UPMkFt

[@Yurdakul.V.D.L]

I have downloaded 3 software and now newest ones. Hitpaw was very robotic and sharp (4x). Topaz and Avc labs better but 4x more expensive. For my need both oke but my face by topaz more red and by avc more green tone against Quicktime. Avc labs more like quicktime collars. topaz really different from the main collars on quicktime. but both has pleasant result. really difculut to choose. I use also FCP and collargrading tools. I wonder which would be better to adjust collars afterwards. Do you have honest advice in this matter please? thank you so much

[@VideoTutors]

I think you should pick your video enhancer that provides the best detail. It is easy to adjust coors after the enhancement.

do you mean I should better buy Topaz please? @@VideoTutors
