Final Fantasy X: Original Video vs. 4K Upscale (Final Version)
This comparison of Final Fantasy X compares the original cropped video against a version that has been processed in AviSynth and upscaled in both Topaz Video Enhance AI and Cupscale.
I created this video by combining multiple AI models from different applications and workflows and did some light color processing in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17. This video is part of a larger series on what AI upscaling output looks like and how you can improve your outputs. Original article here:

This comparison video shows how Cupscale's KemonoScaleLite_v1_Kiwami model compares against Video 2x. Kiwami is one of the best overall models I tested for Cupscale, but it can still cause color shifting that you might not like. This video is part of a series examining how various consumer AI applications compare in a wide variety of content.

This clip is part of a series examining how AI upscalers and related applications perform in various pieces of content. This video focuses on the Academy Award-winning work done by Doug Drexler and John Caglione for the 1990 movie "Dick Tracy." This specific video has not been upscaled, but it has been processed in AviSynth to improve its overall quality.

zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed rokem
In this clip, I've used the 4xUniScale_Restore model to upscale a preprocessed version of this Battlestar Galactica clip. This particular Cupscale model is not as strong in this clip as some of the others we test, but it's a good example of what free software and user-created models can bring to the table.

This clip compares the original, unprocessed video (left) with a color-corrected upscale created in Topaz Video Enhance AI. The overall degree of improvement here is not particularly large, but there is a degree of gain. An ordinary, single-model upscale does not achieve any meaningful level of improvement.

Chance v. Stream: Original Video
zhlédnutí 125Před rokem
This is the original video "Chance v. Stream", upsized to 4K to avoid CZcams's awful standard-definition video encoder. The original video resolution is 320x240, which probably makes a lot more sense considering the content. Clips like this are very hard for upscalers to deal with effectively. This clip is part of an article examining the circumstances in which upscalers perform well and those ...

This video is part of a series examining how consumer AI upscalers handle various types of content. This is an upscale I created from a VHS-quality video transfer using a number of different models in Topaz Video Enhance AI with some additional processing in AviSynth. I did several different conversions of this episode, but this is one of the ones I think came out the best.

0:12 "Blow up one of our sisters, huh?"
Garak "you wanted them angry, their angry" Well don't get Starfleet angry in the first place and wake the sleeping giant that is the United Federation of Planets.
"So… I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I CAN live with it…"
The Defiant in HD is so hot.
This gave me goosebumps. The brilliant colors, the sharpness, the focus. Watching the engineers welding and repairing DS9 (wow)! Then, when you think it just can’t get any better, you see the mighty defiant come flying through with her underbelly showing off all the magnificent features that we have never seen with this detail before. And then finally, the wormhole wow simply glorious. Awesome job!
Where is the rest of the fight?
The turning point in the DS9 series, and maybe in the entire Star Trek universe. I don't think that's an overstatement.
"Yes Mr Galaxy Police, that galor over there!"
Press "2" on your keyboard.
Soooo, what's Julian doing in the back there by the Captain's chair?
Two things about this sequence that I love, and that make me howl with laughter each time I watch it: Firstly, the opening phaser salvos from the Defiant successfully disable the engines on one of the Birds of Prey. Moments later, with Worf now at tactical, he deems that strategy to not be effective, so Captain Sisko allows him to target at his discretion. What results? After half a second, he's blown the other Bird of Prey's port wing off, and then continues for another half second to completely destroy it. Basically, it just makes me laugh how crippling one of them instantly isn't effective enough for Worf, even though it's like a shotgun going up against a few slingshots! 😆 Secondly, I love how Dukat is one of the first people beamed aboard the Defiant, even though half of the Detapa Council members are still onboard the disabled ship. 🤣 The details in this show are exquisite, and it's lovely how they don't make a big deal in regards to pointing them out - they're right there in front of you, if you're paying enough attention.
Fantastic. Well done.
Real talk, if I saw two Galaxy class Cruisers bearing down on my position I probably start pissing myself
This is so good
Did you use new-series models for your cockpit POV shots? Extra wide stripe, curves in the canopy...
Kinda like HAWK…. RIGHT ?
This is why DEEP SPACE 9 was the GREATEST STAR TREK SERIES EVER.. because Capt BEN SISKO would do things that PICARD & KIRK wouldn’t DARE !!
So, Capt. Sisko GOT WHAT HE WANTED…and he DIDNT EVEN NEED SECTION 31 to DO IT !!
Love Brooks' delivery: "Not as singed as they're going to get. ENGAGE!"
This is just how the Galaxy Class always should have been portrayed. An enourmous vessel projecting power and majestic graze, but once provoked able to casually slap aside most foes with blunt force.
Some of the best effects work ever made on a TV-Budget.
You know what would've been icing on the cake? If the Defiant squeezed through a narrow opening (like the Millennium Falcon in the Asteroid Field) to escape Jem'Hadar ships.
Tbh i love the acting in this video!
The Breen ship outmanoeuvring the defiant (Sao Paulo) is unreal.
looks good keep it up
Damn good episode
Times are tough when the only thing saving you is a klingon not that they weren't a fun race to know.
Andrew Robinson masterfully played Garak the entire series!! Bravo!!
It's just best Star Trek. This is excellent work!
This is awesome! I so want to watch this series just like this. I would even pay!
Gotta love those Birds of Prey
Janeway always trying anything she can to keep her crew in the Delta Quadrant.
Not seen in this video, but later in the battle if you watch the Galaxy-Class ships, they swing around and are charging in for a second run like "that was fun, now let's mop this enemy fleet up from behind and bring this to a proper end". Also, Starfleet was very lucky to have the Galaxy-Class fully put into service with multiple ships when the Dominion War broke out. All the "glitches" were sorted out and the ships were at full capacity to become the Federations choice of Dreadnoughts of this conflict.
I love the realisation on Siskos' face when he realises Garak is right about why he went to him
Doug Drexler just gave this a shout out on his page on facebook!!!
If he thought Tolar wasnt up to the task then why the hell did Garak hire him in the first place?
He didn't think anyone was up to the task to actually fool the scrutiny of the romulans. But he did still need a mostly perfect recording so that it would appear legit (albeit damaged) in the wreckage.
Poor Tuvok!
The power of good actors
The irony being in the pilot this was a bluff. It's not any more 😂
The last time we saw proper shields.....
I have a question. Given A.I. can generate videos from text these days, why can't A.I. just sample the original episodes and re-render them in 4K? Wouldn't that be easier than remastering the original 720p?
For every situation, there are three possible choices: the right way, the wrong way, and the Janeway.
This should be real and for every tv show. I fucking hate HD tv and I'm sick of the way it looks. Particularly for stuff that was never intended to be seen on anything other than the standard 4:3 SD format. I'm sorry, but CRTs look so much better, way nicer colors. Too much visual clarity is a bad thing, not a good thing.
Absolute stellar cast.
There’s a whole gang of Galaxy class ships
Easily one of the the absolute best scenes ever written and shot in the history of Star Trek. Full stop.
I love seeing all those Miranda ships.
Are there civilians on the galaxy class star ships? Federation must have said no.
The upscaling looks fantastic! Like *echohunter4199* pointed out, there isn't any sound. Even so, is there a reason an HD version wasn't released by the studios?
Looks good! It's a shame this was never followed through with.
