High Quality Video Stills Software Released

March 18, 2008 - PRLog -- Topaz Labs releases an update to Topaz Moment Production Edition, a high-quality video stills solution, with several new and improved productivity features. Topaz Moment is a standalone software for Windows that grabs high-quality still images from videos and DVDs.

Topaz Moment Production Edition v3.5 combines the high quality of Topaz Moment video stills with the enhanced productivity of a improved batch capturing interface that efficiently captures high-resolution stills from videos. It also includes command-line support.

This software is designed for high-end professionals to increase their productivity by making it quick and efficient to capture a database of high-resolution still captures from many videos. It includes proprietary Topaz Labs super-resolution enhancement technology that evaluates information from multiple adjacent video frames to restore details in the selected frame. This technology is integrated into an innovative batch capturing workflow designed with productivity in mind.

In addition to super-resolution techniques, this software includes noise reduction, sharpening, and auto contrast and color options, and fully customizable enhancement and output scaling settings. v3.5 adds several new features, including:

- a new option to allow save filenames based on video elapsed time rather than the clock time taken or a numerical count,

- a Monitor Folder feature that allows the user to specify a folder from which to automatically import all new videos from

- a new capture log that goes into detail for each captured frame.

"Topaz Moment Production Edition is the only solution that gives you superb quality and efficiency in capturing stills from videos," explains Topaz Labs president Albert Yang. "We designed this software specifically to fit the needs of professionals that require a fast, effective, and high-quality solution for capturing many high-resolution images from videos."

Topaz Moment Production Edition v3.5 retails at 199.00. Its consumer alternative, Topaz Moment, features the same super-resolution enhancement options without the mass processing capabilities or command-line/scripting support of Production Edition.
