Topaz brings AI upscaling directly into Adobe Premiere
Topaz Labs has released a new extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, enabling users to apply AI-powered video and image enhancement models directly within their editing timeline. This includes features like upscaling, denoising, slow-motion, and frame interpolation, with processing handled via Topaz's cloud rendering services.
Key Takeaways
- The Premiere panel is a UXP extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, not a standalone app.
- Topaz says enhanced clips are returned to Premiere automatically and placed on a new video track.
- Supported video models include Astra 2, Starlight Precise 2.5, Proteus, Iris, Nyx, Starlight Fast 2, and Starlight Mini.
- Supported image models include Wonder 3, Gigapixel/Standard, and Bloom.
- Topaz says the panel uses cloud processing and batch rendering, and it works on almost any hardware.
Why It Matters
This moves Topaz’s AI enhancement tools into the editing workflow instead of a separate desktop app, which reduces friction for Premiere users working on archival footage, legacy formats, AI-generated video, and modern content. It also ties Premiere more tightly to Topaz cloud processing and batch rendering, while keeping the output inside the timeline as a new video track. For the broader ecosystem, the important detail is that Topaz is packaging multiple video and image models behind one Premiere-facing panel.
