I think this should be the correct area and the index/stickied threads don’t seem to touch on the topic.

Sadly one thing I’m noticing about this site is there is no search function, unless I’m missing that. So it’s hard to see if anyone has ever mentioned what I may. NVM, it looks like they may have had search before but got rid of it several years ago. https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/How-do-I-do-this-on-the-OriginalTrilogy-com-some-info-answers-member-FAQs/id/60848/page/1#1208174

Once I did a site: search I found a few posts related to Topaz but I don’t see any topics.

Topaz Video AI isn’t free but it is, IMO, the best upscaling software on the market, for the price. I’m sure there are other models out there but I haven’t found any under $1k that are better than Proteus/Rhea, and Project Starlight is showing real promise, though it requires an elite tier computer; 5090 minimum.

I personally use Rhea and Proteus for enhancement and upscaling for many of my professional works. Nyx too for Noise Reduction of specific scenes, night etc.

FYI, I tried their Astra app recently, only might be good for animated work. And Project Starlight itself, cloud-based, is crazy expensive per credit, but I imagine studios and other big companies could use it to a large benefit.

Starlight is their first diffusion-based model, the rest have been GAN (machine learning). I just learned about that recently too

Hello, I’m thoroughly intrigued and EDIT, I see now I must PM you, my apologies. Will do next week.

I’m not the biggest Alien universe fan, and in fact I do not like horror much at all, but I enjoy plenty elements within Prometheus. Less so Covenant but still not bad. I plan on buying the original Alien on 4K disc and that’s all I’ll keep. I am soo curious how you put all this together and it’s inspiration for me. I do lots of video editing and would love the chance to edit a film or two like you’ve done, hopefully adding to the experience for the angle it was meant to drive home.

I look forward to your edit and maybe making one of my own soon enough!
Thanks

Longtime lurker, finally made an account ha. Like many have said, I found the site thru YT videos and downloaded the trilogy a few months back. Love the quality and I will certainly donate to projects. I’ve been seeding as much as I can. Thanks to all those who contribute!
