What it does, concretely

Editing a video in Premiere Pro or After Effects and having to export it to a third-party application for enhancement breaks the workflow and wastes time. The Topaz Video AI plugin solves this by integrating video enhancement tools directly into the timeline.

In practice, the plugin applies Topaz Labs' artificial intelligence models (upscaling, denoising, frame interpolation) without leaving the Adobe interface. Processing happens locally on the user's machine, meaning video files do not pass through remote servers.

This plugin is aimed at video editors and motion designers who already work in Premiere Pro or After Effects and want access to Topaz Video AI features without switching applications. It requires a Topaz Video AI licence.

It is not suited to users who do not have Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, nor to those looking for an online solution or one that does not require a Topaz subscription.

What it offers

·AI-powered video upscaling directly within the Premiere Pro or After Effects timeline (paid).
·Video denoising using Topaz models, applied without exporting the file (paid).
·Frame interpolation to increase smoothness or create slow-motion effects (paid).
·Fully local processing: videos never leave the user's computer.
·Access to Topaz video models (Proteus, Iris, Nyx, Rhea, Artemis, Gaia, Theia, Apollo, Chronos, Aion, Themis, among others) depending on the licence held (paid).
·Compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

Our tips

Make sure your Topaz Video AI licence is active before using the plugin, as features depend on an active subscription or one-time purchase.
Since processing is local, performance depends directly on your graphics card: a recent GPU will significantly speed up rendering.
Apply the plugin to a duplicated clip or a pre-composition layer to keep the original intact and compare results easily.
Choose the Topaz model that matches your source material: some models are optimised for live footage, others for animation or low-resolution images.

Watch out

The plugin requires a separate Topaz Video AI licence: it does not work standalone and represents an additional cost if you do not already own the application.
Local rendering can be slow on less powerful machines, particularly for high-resolution footage or long sequences.
