Topaz officially launched the new Video AI 4.0 (Click here to preorder with a $50 discount and see samples of all new features). I am an avid Topaz Photo Ai and Video AI user. With Video AI I was able to save an old documentary of mine where I only had a 720p file and upscaled it to 4k with impressive results. Also Photo Ai is incredible and I use it often. So definitely jump on it if you want to improve the quality of your photos/videos!

New features:

• Comparison views: apply different filters to Views 1 & 2 to compare them. Freely switch between reviewing input clips and previews to find the best settings possible for your video.
• Preview history: previews are tracked based on filter settings and shown grouped together on the video timeline.
• Zoomable timeline: take advantage of timeline zoom controls to hone in on smaller areas of a large video.
• In & Out Trim: replaced the “trim” edit mode with an In & Out option comparable to other video editing applications.
• Refreshed UI and filter icons: tighter more informational display.
• Nyx v2: improve results and 2x scaling mode.
• Significant performance improvements for the in-app video player.
• Crop controls moved to video input panel.

Samsung announced a new 4TB T9 external SSD disk you can buy at BHphoto and Amazon.

Explora writes:

Available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, the T9 series nearly doubles the transfer speeds of its predecessor, the T7, with sequential read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s. The rugged housing helps to prevent performance drops by dissipating heat efficiently during sustained transfers with compatible devices through the USB 3.2 2×2 host connection, so you can offload content quickly from high-end cameras. In addition to being power-efficient, this portable SSD can also withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and up to 9.8-foot drops, making it the ideal travel companion when you’re shooting from almost any location.
