Is Topaz Video AI actually worth the render time?
I’ve been spending a lot of time in After Effects lately trying to get those super crisp 4K transitions, but the render times with Topaz Video AI are brutal. Anyone else noticed if the AI upscaling actually makes a difference for short-form content on platforms like TikTok or Reels? Is it better to just focus on high-bitrate exports and basic sharpening, or does the AI enhancement actually help with visual clarity after the platform compresses the hell out of it? Curious to know what your workflow looks like for high-quality edits
