The global video production market, valued at $98.99 billion in 2023, is forecasted to grow to $746.88 billion by 2030 at a 33.5% CAGR, driven by increasing demand for high-quality content. Creators now seek tools to handle diverse source materials, from legacy footage to AI-generated videos.
Topaz Labs' Starlight represents the first diffusion-based AI model for video, delivering consistent results across frames. In UniConverter, it combines five restoration tasks into an efficient, one-click process, reconstructing details and upgrading sub-480p content to professional standards. This cloud-based approach eliminates the need for powerful local hardware, making advanced enhancement available on standard devices.
The integration supports restoring old videos, refining low-resolution sources, sharpening animations, and enhancing AI-created content, enabling creators to repurpose materials with superior fidelity.
"Wondershare has always been committed to empowering creators by bringing advanced technologies into accessible, easy-to-use tools," said Sam Zhang, Vice President of Wondershare. "We are delighted to collaborate with Topaz Labs, whose leadership in AI video enhancement aligns closely with our mission. This partnership marks an exciting step forward, and we will continue exploring new collaborations and innovations that help creators produce exceptional content with greater efficiency and confidence."
"For years, Wondershare has been a leader in video editing and production technology," says Dr. Suraj Raghuraman, Head of AI Engine at Topaz Labs. "Much like our team here at Topaz, Wondershare has built a reputation for innovation and quality in their tools, so we're thrilled to partner with them to bring world-class video enhancement to UniConverter, and soon to other Wondershare products as well."
This collaboration strengthens Wondershare's AI-driven creative ecosystem, providing intuitive tools that meet evolving demands for quality and efficiency in video production.
By partnering with industry pioneers like Topaz Labs, Wondershare continues to democratize professional-grade capabilities, supporting creators in achieving outstanding results across varied projects.
