No. Starlight is not for starting with hi-res; it is for low res. I use a variety of filters in virtual dub, and then I utilize a few settings in topaz...
I really like the reduce compression feature of Topaz Video AI. Based on this, I finally have taken a look at it's trial version. I have and like Neat Video NR, but I may splurge on TVAI to help reduce compression artifacting. Even with 0Dan0's work in improving and optimizing the bitrate via firmware, there are still post-processing improvements that I am interested in.
Don't forget the 24p upscaling. It's really good. It really make a difference when i playback a video with Infuse on Apple TV. My TV switch to 24p playback.
Yes, so far I’ve found good frame rate conversion results with the re-time Speed Warp (better) setting in Resolve. I denoise before that, but add grain/texture after so that the texture is unique to each of the 24fps.
Has anyone compared Speed Warp to TVAI’s 24p upscale option?
I'm still working in this. I did a short film with some Super8 elements, so I've been enhancing beyond v6.7. Hopefully get the version out in a week or so.

Youtube is really bad with HD resolution sources. So I upscale from 1600x1200 to 3840x2160 with pillar-boxing, the compression is a lot better, just will Premiere (no Topaz.) My most recent reels:
Vimeo. I almost fogot about it. My account still exist and i uploaded videos 14 years ago. Gonna try with my lastest test. I'm really impress by the grain.
Yes. It's better. Much better. Same upload that i use with Youtube. (Prores 422 HQ master)
