Wondershare, a world-leading software solutions provider for creatives and productivity-aiding applications, has recently revealed a collaborative effort with Topaz Labs, an innovation leader in the field of AI-assisted video enrichment. Topaz Labs’ diffusion model-based AI solution, Starlight, is set to be incorporated into Wondershare’s best-selling AI Video Converter & Enricher, named UniConverter, and eventually in other core applications including Wondershare Filmora, SelfyzAI, and Repairit.
This collaboration brings about a huge leap towards the democratization process of highly advanced video enhancement technologies that are, to date, exclusively the domain of high-end productions.
The Benefits Provided by this Partnership
At the core of the collaboration is Topaz Lab’s Starlight, the world’s first diffusion AI model that has been created specifically for videos and comes with full temporal consistency. This improves the motion, upscales, and overall look when used for tasks like optimizing low-resolution videos or optimizing degraded content.
UniConverter V17 brings users an integrated workflow of five necessary steps of image processing like upscaling, denoising, deblurring, de-aliasing, and sharpening through a single click without using high-performance hardware or an expensive GPU due to its processing in clouds.
What this means is that even lower-quality videos, including legacy videos, user-generated videos, or even raw videos on social platforms, can be upgraded to HD or 4K, which can enable professional video production on any device.

Through reduced production friction and the improvement of output quality, this strategic alliance is able to enable groups to create more engaging visual storytelling with less resources—a major plus for agencies and brands that have content pipelines as lengthy as Ripple’s.
