1920×1326 1.23 MB
Updated for Pro and Founders.
Recap about the model:
Introducing the new Starlight Fast 2, for local desktop rendering! Starlight Fast 2 is the third variant to the desktop Starlight Model Family. Note that Starlight Fast exists on Astra. This model is great to get good diffusion results at a much faster processing time. Note that in order to make this model both available locally and still be speedy (for a diffusion model) there is a slight difference in quality for local renders.

769×1228 96.6 KB
Things to know:
Nvidia Only
Requires a Pro or Founders license to run locally.
Best results come from 2x and above upscaling.
Great option for faster local diffusion based rendering.
Recommended to use video inputs at or under 4K.
Outputs between HD - 4K.
This model works for Medium to High Quality content whether this is generative or live action plates/videos
speed can be 3-5x faster than Starlight Mini pending on your GPU and available VRAM.
Provides better treatment for flickering/stuttering frames (especially when camera moves)
Requires a minimum of 16GB VRAM though 32GB VRAM is recommended.
There is a slight quality difference between the renders with 16GB vs 32GB VRAM. The latter being a tad more detailed.
Model access via the cloud for all subscription models.
Cloud Export supported

1920×595 804 KB
Updated for Pro and Founders.
Recap about the model:
Introducing Starlight HQ, for local desktop rendering! Starlight HQ is the fourth variant to the desktop Starlight Model Family. This diffusion model has a great balance of detail and sharpness while keeping the intent of the original video source. Provides higher quality outputs for a wide range of videos, though not necessarily intended for archival content it can still provide good results. Though addressing similar intentions as Starlight Fast2, outputs have generally been higher quality and consistent with this model’s longer processing time.

Things to know:
Nvidia Only
Requires a Pro or Founders license to run locally.
Processing speed is very similar to Starlight Mini.
Supports 480p to 4k inputs.
Outputs between HD - 4K.
This model works for Medium to High Quality content whether this is generative or live action plates/videos
Requires a minimum of 10GB VRAM though 12GB VRAM and up is recommended.
Model access via the cloud for all subscription models.
Cloud Export supported

image
3197×1093 1.2 MB
This model is less ideal for content with:
haloing issues common with vintage digital videos
hair quality can vary in detail when content is on the lower medium spectrum.
Not intended for very low/poor condition quality media.
Interlaced content needs to be de-interlaced first.
Small repeated patterns can flicker
Bug fixes
AMD/Mac Starlight Mini issue with notification of “export disabled …requiring model download before local export.”
Fixed “Install now” update installation from app closing.
Fixed the cancel, close or install buttons (from the “Update Installation” floating window) from being unresponsive when there is active exports.
Fixed compatibility check for GPU minimum values to prevent failures for machines that can not run Starlight Fast 2.

Apr 11, 2026 Version: Topaz Video AI 1.3.0
OS: Windows 10 64-bit Ease of use: 8/10
Functionality: 5/10
Value for money: 1/10
Overall: 3/10
Actually, this is about video enhance, which is one of the best AI video tools I've used. Topaz has bundled it with other tools, none of which I need or would use and only offers a high priced subscription plan, so for a non-pro user, their software is useless, far too expensive.
I started with gigapixel, still a fantastic AI photo tool, which led to their other products. Now they've led me to someone else's products.
Bad move, IMO, to not offer perpetual licenses anymore.

Since the software is now only available as a subscription, it's no longer usable.
Ridiculous prices and mandatory online access. You can completely forget about data protection.

hi will this software upscale a video file that is very blocky i have a old movie it is a avi file but it is very bad quality it has loads of blocks and fuzzy so could i turn the video file perfect quality also it seems to take ages to upscale a video file to 1080p it was saying to me something like 7 hours to convert it when i was using it a few weeks ago as a trial. i know that nero software has brought one out called nero upscaler and that takes ages to convert a video file something like 10 hours to upscale a video file.
