Topaz Precision Animation

Topaz Precision Animation

Vidu Upscale Pro enhances uploaded or generated videos to 1080p, 2K, 4K, or 8K.

Upload or choose a source video in Models or Generate, or start from a completed video's TaskCard.

Why choose Topaz Precision Animation

Key strengths

• Tuned for the flat colour fields and hard line work that trip up photographic upscalers.
• Roughly half the cost of the general Precision tier.
• Keeps line weight consistent instead of thickening edges.

Good fit for

• Upscaling hand-drawn or cel animation for a larger delivery format.
• Finishing anime-style generated video at higher resolution.
• Remastering older animated material held at low resolution.

Engines in Topaz Precision Animation

This model is a price tier: every engine below costs the same, so the choice is about the source, not the budget. Pick one in Generate under the model; leaving it unset uses the first.

• Gaia 2 (Animation) - Topaz's animation model, tuned for the flat colour fields and hard line work of hand-drawn and cel animation. Keeps line weight constant instead of thickening edges. Scales up to exactly 2x, so the targets offered are the ones your source can reach - a 480p clip upscales to 960p.

Inputs and output settings

Upscaling is live in Models, Generate, and on a completed generation's TaskCard.

How to upscale a video

1. Upload a source video or choose one from Assets in Models or Generate. You can also start from a completed video's TaskCard.
2. Select 1080p, 2K, 4K, or 8K above the source resolution.
3. Review the estimate, then submit the job.
4. Inspect the enhanced video when processing completes.

How to get better Topaz Precision Animation results

• Use this rather than Precision for anything drawn - the photographic engines soften line art.
• Check that flat colour regions stay flat and have not picked up texture.
• Inspect thin outlines and subtitles at full size before approving.

Limits and availability

• Choose a target above the source resolution: 720p, 960p, 1080p, 2K, 4K, 8K.
• Maximum source length is 300 seconds, and shorter at the highest targets.
• Any frame rate is accepted. Billing is per delivered frame, so a 60 FPS source costs twice a 30 FPS one of the same length.
• Direct uploads are limited to 256 MiB; generated MachGen videos can be selected from Assets or a completed TaskCard.
• Current rates come from the live MachGen pricebook.
• Topaz Precision Animation is pass-through. MachGen sends the request through its upstream provider integration and returns the generated asset.
