I really like the Topaz Video AI models for upscaling to 4k. In order to make the most of my system’s capabilities, I have created a PowerShell script that monitors a ‘queue’ folder, and it automatically upscales any videos I drop in that folder. The script executes the command that Topaz Video AI executes, and it runs multiple ffmpeg processes at once. After a lot of tuning and work on a PowerShell script, I have concluded it works best when ffmpeg is configured to run at idle priority. This allows my computer to remain responsive, and any idle time is routed to the ffmpeg processes. For my CPU/GPU combo, I find I get the best throughput using 2 processes.
I would like a feature that allows me to specify the number of processes and the default process priority of new ffmpeg processes started by Topaz Video AI. The default should be ‘idle’ to start. It would be really, really, super nice if a change to process priority in the Topaz Video AI UI applied the changes to the running processes.
