Artefacts Still Appearing Around Scene Changes

[Fehraz]

Artefacts are continuing to appear around edits (when a shot changes). Reported this issues on this page which has since closed due to inactivity:

Blended Frames Artifact

The software sometimes blends frames, usually where one shot ends and another starts. Does this mean that it is designed to be used to correct one shot at a time? In the frame captures I’m including frame B shows a vertical line from frame A blending with frame C. This artefact was introduced when I used Iris. I have not tested with other models to see if the same thing happens. [a] [b] [c] Can improved shot detection be introduced in a future release? Thanking you in advance.

There have been approximately 16 updates since I reported the issue but the problem is still there. Is there any update on Scene detection?

In the meantime, it is recommended to bring in each camera clip separately to export out of Video AI. The models have a rough time transitioning between clips and cuts or rapid movement.

I do understand that proper scene detection isn’t trivial, but what if people use edited material? Do you suggest splitting the media in scenes prior to processing with Topaz?

My approach to this problem is re-rendering affected parts as separate scenes. That’s usually just a few seconds of rendering , but needs checking each scene cut after rendering and Topaz provides zero support for this process.
