Your plan is sound. Before buying Topaz, check if your NLE doesn't already support a frame-blurring / interpolation feature that will make your fast shutter speeds more filmic or at least acceptable.
My NLE (non linear editor) is QuickTime, apple movie or Devinci. Quicktime and apple movie do not have frame blurring / interpolation. Devinci does support frame blurring but I find it to have a very high complexity. I understand that Topaz video is much easier to use (more intuitive)?
Thus my flow would look like:
1) Take a long burst - at 20fps I could burst about 600 craws at iso 3600. 600/20 is 30seconds max (no slow mo) or 90s (24fps slow mo). At fast shutter/ auto iso.
2) Process the files in a batch Light Room - auto light, denoise, .. [or dxo pure raw]
3) Export them to a folder - eg 'video tiff's'
4) Import them into quick time as 4k. Add some music.
5) bring them into Topaz AI and force them to either 30sec 24fps (no slow motion) or 15s 24ps (slow mo).
I would then have a pretty high quality cinematic 30-90s (24fps) wildlife video (in normal or slow motion). Wth a non complex process.
