@googlemaps x @coachella ad enhanced by Starlight Precise 2.5 model in Astra. Incredible work by @jordandchesney and @julienvallee 👏

@madpencil_ Seedance 2.0 + Starlight Precise 2.5 combo is the power couple! 💪

Topaz labs really said: "Your Seedance 2,0 output is low rez and not pro level, let me fix that." 😎 I used the new Starlight Precise 2.5 model to save this clip and the clarity is unreal. If you’re dealing with low-res source files or noisy renders, this is the cheat code. Upscaled using Astra Starlight Precise 2.5 on @topazlabs. Test it out here: astra.app

@MonjiBatmunkh more than welcome dear Monji 🥰 thanks for a great suite of tools / models kind regards

I just upscaled my clip with Topaz Starlight Precise 2.5 (SLP 2.5)! The results are crisp and stunning. 💎

@EccentrismArt @topazlabs @dreamina_ai Incredible work and that's hilarious! Thanks for sharing @EccentrismArt 😀

Seedance 2 is now on Dreamina in the US! And to celebrate here are two “episodes” of that crazy Odd Job Wizard 😂 . Upscaled with Topaz Starlight Precise 2.5 which makes a night and day difference (see comments)

@jerrod_lew Starlight Precise 2.5 in action! 😍 @jerrod_lew

Topaz has launched Starlight Precise 2.5. This is their strongest video upscaling and enhancement model yet. It specializes in improving realism in characters, and can bring your AI videos up to 4K. I've been using it to upscale Seedance 2.0 videos! Link to try below.

@D_studioproject Love this! Great work @D_studioproject

been testing starlight precise 2.5 + seedance 2.0 lately what i like about this combo is not just the upscaling but how it keeps the original structure intact a lot of tools can push resolution but they usually break texture, edges or motion consistency this one feels different, it sharpens into 4k while still holding the detail and movement together especially useful when your base output isn’t perfect yet for me, this is less about “making it sharper” and more about preserving what already works. @topazlabs you can check the side by side comparison here ↓

@jordandchesney Jordan, this is truly impressive work! Huge congrats!

Making commercials and films with AI isn’t just exciting — it’s the future. That said, the hardest part isn’t the technology, it’s finding people you genuinely love working with, and sharpening your storytelling skills. Those two things will never be replaced by “clicking buttons.” The fundamentals that carry over from traditional filmmaking remain the same: 📕 Strong stories 🤝 Strong relationships If you treat these as secondary, you’ll eventually feel stuck and frustrated. But if you keep them front and center — valued, protected, and constantly nurtured — you’ll thrive in this new era.

@MonjiBatmunkh LEOOOOOOOO!!!! Comparison: astra.app/compare/019d4b…

Starlight Precise 2.5 just launched and it's bringing back detail from all the best low-res memes. Comment a gif reaction👇and we'll upscale with Starlight Precise 2.5. Or try it out in Astra. Link in thread.

@MonjiBatmunkh Worked like a DREAM. Here's the compare: astra.app/compare/019d4a…

@topazlabs Wow, the faces look great!

Topaz has been cooking! The difference is insane:

Hands down, Starlight Precise 2.5 is the best video enhancement model! Incredibly proud of our team behind this 💪

@zhigarev_ @thisiswildtv Love it!

If you're a Millennial and 1,000,999 years old like me..you might like this. Or not. I built my own 1999 TV Network with AI using only Sora2 @thisiswildtv — 22 minutes.

@Uncanny_Harry This is awesome Harry! Which one of our model have you used? I think Starlight Precise 2 would be perfect for shots with faces

My Latest AI short was made with Seedance 2.0 the model that has been firing up the internet over the past couple of days. I made this in two and half days and it's an original short that is based on HP Lovecraft's work which is now Public Domain (No Copyright infringement here!). If you are not into period romances then bare with it as it gets a more little action packed in the second half! The model is brilliant at both performance and action, you can now make convincing dialogue and action sequences for AI cinema. With this model we have now reached the stage where we can tell any story we want with AI, the tools are capable. This is only 720p at the moment but I suspect it will be upgraded to 1080p very soon. We stand at the threshold of having broadcast quality tools capable of creating anything we can imagine available to everyone, so lets do new an interesting things with it. Thank you to @capcutapp for whitelisting me and to @dreamina_ai AI for giving me access as part of their CPP. Thanks for watching! 👀
