Topaz Video AI 6.0.1 macOS
Time-aware video quality enhancement. Video Enhance AI uses information from multiple frames to achieve high-end results for video upscaling, denoising, deinterlacing, and restoration. Improving the quality of videos is substantially more complex than photos because of motion-related issues like flickering, blockiness, and wavy artifacts. To solve this issue, Video Enhance AI looks at surrounding frames to improve resolution and reduce motion artifacts for natural results.
Upscaling
Upscale video resolution with detail gathered from multiple frames. Our video upscaler can convert SD to HD and HD to 4k or 8k while adding crisp and natural video details.
Denoising
Remove noise and grain while recovering real detail in your videos. Minimize flickering and other temporal artifacts caused by frame-by-frame denoising approaches.
Deinterlacing
Use deep learning to convert interlaced videos to progressive while preserving image definition. Significantly reduces visual artifacts compared to traditional deinterlacing.
Restoration
Naturally restore old videos without adding visual artifacts. Restore realistic details and remove compression artifacts from old or degraded sources.
Frame rate conversion for 2021
Introduced in v2.3, the Chronos AI model uses deep learning to increase video frame rate without artifacts. Existing methods like frame blending and optical flow are decades old and produce inconsistent and unnatural results. Video Enhance AI generates new frames that are often indistinguishable from frames captured in-camera, enhancing videos with more natural results.
Increase video frame rate (24 to 60 FPS, 30 to 60 FPS)
To increase your video’s frame rate, you’ll need to generate new frames between your video’s existing frames. The existing ways to do this (frame blending, optical flow) often look unnatural and jittery especially with moving backgrounds. Video Enhance AI uses a new approach based on machine learning to “predict” the best intermediate frame between existing ones, which gives you much better results with a wider variety of material.
Create a smooth slow-motion effect
When you create a slow motion effect, it’s even more important that you generate new frames without stuttering or motion artifacts. Video Enhance AI creates much more natural slow motion results compared to traditional time interpolation.
Fewer motion artifacts
Other video upscaling techniques often create a “shimmering” or “flickering” effect from different processing in adjacent frames. VEAI is trained to significantly reduce such artifacts.
Recover video details
VEAI has been trained to inject real details into your videos, derived from the additional information in multiple adjacent frames, allowing us to deliver superior video enhancement.
Get more natural results
Traditional upscaling often causes artifacts. While visual artifacts do exist in VEAI too, they’re mitigated by information derived from multiple frames.
Trained on videos
VEAI was trained exclusively on video clips instead of still images. (The improved results are worth the increased effort to gather the dataset!)
Optimized for your hardware
We work directly with different hardware manufacturers to ensure the software works as fast as possible on your machine.
Convenient workflow
Easily convert and combine multiple videos from SD to HD, HD to 4k, and much more. Includes export presets and batch processing.
Flexible import / export
Supports common video file types and image sequence as input, and export directly to mp4, mov, or image sequence.
Batch processing
Leave Video Enhance AI running overnight with your videos queued up, and come back in the morning to enhanced footage.
Compatibility: macOS 10.12 or later.

Users have posted multiple apparent solutions, yet none can seem to write a clear step-by-step instruction. Maybe that is the reason why we are so fascinated with AI because it makes us all look dumb.
1) Open patch_script.txt with BBEdit and save it as tvaiscript.sh with line breaks: Unix (LF);
2) Open Terminal
3) Type: cd DIRNAME/TopazVideoAI-6.0.1 (replace DIRNAME with path that contains TopazVideoAI-6.0.1 folder or simply type cd – with space – and drag TopazVideoAI-6.0.1 folder into Terminal window)
4) Type: sed -i ” ‘s/\r//’ tvaiscript.sh
5) Type: bash tvaiscript.sh
worked with the BBEdit script writer, took around 3 minutes on M3 Max to complete the process, working well with no watermark and trial mode. make sure to keep it on LF mode for when you save it as a .sh
It worked.
perl -pe ‘s/\r\n/\n/g’ patch_script.txt > tvaiscript.sh
😉
The in cluded script works well, but it can’t be done with the macos internal TextEdit app. It requires another text editor app (e.g. BBEdit). in BBedit simply create a new file, copy/paste the script text, and save as *.sh file.
After that the sh file can be executed with Terminal.
It’s a shame that the *.sh file isn’t included from the very beginning.
The script can cause issues in unix like environment such as macos.
As a workaround, in the terminal type:
sed -i ” ‘s/\r//’ tvaiscript.sh
Then exec the script with bash again:
bash tvaiscript.sh
SOLUTION
Launch sed -i ” ‘s/\r$//’ DIRNAME/tvaiscript.sh before executing the script. Obviously you have to replace DIRNAME with your script folder name.
Too much BS. Give me a easy copy and paste in terminal script that works
Can someone post an actual working script so we can copy and paste it in our terminal?
Thank you very much, follow your guidance and works perfect on a MBP M1.
What does “converting the line ending to “LF” macOS/Unix” mean?
The script from version 5.4.1 is only removing the “demo” tag… there’s watermark on output. In order to make it work, you need to open the script in a code editor (BBedit, Nova, etc.) and save the file as “tvaiscript.sh” on your desktop. (I made an extra step, converting the line ending to “LF” macOS/Unix, but it may not be necesary). Open Terminal, write “exec bash” and a space, and drop the file from your desktop into the Terminal window. Hit ENTER and enter your password, and hit ENTER again, and wait. It may take a minute and seem to get stuck, but if you hit ENTER again, it says “task complete”.
Yup use BBEdit…just paste into it and save to the given file name. No watermarks, seems to be working
Thanks – that did it. Exported the file from BBEdit with Unix style line breaks (LF) rather than Mac or Windows style and it worked.
Can you tell me exactly what you did. Because I downloaded BBEdit and did everything through that and it still didn’t work for me. When I drag the file tvaiscript.sh to terminal it says no such file or directory. Please help. Thank you
you don’t have to be a dick about it. it was an honest mistake. I was going back here to post my findings and tell people it didn’t work. We are all trying to work together. If you can’t say something nice don’t say it at all.
CONFIRMED it work
I executed sudo -i first then run the script. It worked for me.
The BBedit method worked
It’s working well. I’ve used BBEdit – text edit did not work in any text format. On a M3 Max it took about a minute until the script was finished.
Nope, that results in watermarked videos. Not surprising since the app is totally different from the previous version. Don’t post such bullshit, it just wastes everone’s time.
I just tried the script from the previous version and it worked.
jonk – use the script from the previous version?
It doesn’t work Sparky
appstorrent.ru have a working version
Used script from previous version. Program now working however there is watermark on output videos. Any ideas?
..UPDATE,: sorry using the previous script keep the watermark, so false alarm.
GOOD NEWS, work perfect with the script of the last 5.4.1, start with function hex(),.
Ah finally… the script from version 5.4.1 seems to work.
Use the script from the previous version.
Could be nice upload directly the exec bash tvaiscript.sh, without any complication.
USELESS – DELETE
Script is not working
for me it worked but i pasted the text into terminal after converting it to plain text
Script not working… “command not found…”
dont working m2 pro computer, opening trial version
Hi,
Trial mode not changing. What’s the right order installing? (first app then patch? app running then patch? etc)
Thanks
I get errors when running the script
shell file is not working properly.
