Topaz Video 1.7.0 – a major update to the professional AI-powered video enhancement software, released following Topaz Labs’ acquisition by Adobe. Version 1.7.0 brings key improvements to the Starlight models, significant performance boosts, and new tools for video editors.
Key Features:
Starlight Precise 2.6 – an upgraded model designed for faces and skin in live-action footage. It now includes a sharpness adjustment slider with 3 intensity levels: from natural and soft to maximum detail (matching the previous 2.5 version). The model improves temporal coherence, reduces flickering, and delivers more natural skin texture without the “plastic” look.
Starlight Mini – now available to all users without the need for a Pro subscription. The model is significantly faster – up to 2x speed improvement on NVIDIA GPUs with 12+ GB VRAM. Starlight Mini is optimized for low- to medium-quality sources, adds a subtle “haze” for a more organic look, and works effectively with archival footage and Mini-DV tapes.
Performance: Users report up to 25% faster processing for heavy upscaling tasks (SD → 4K) thanks to optimizations introduced in version 1.7.0.
Stabilization now supports real-time preview.
Bonus: A plugin for Final Cut Pro has been added.
