I have an AMD 7900X and an RX 6900 XT. I was getting this exact thing in 3.1.11 on any model at 1920 by 1080 PNG output. Usually it would start like that, and proceed to fill the entire movie with blackness eventually.
It will still do it if I process two videos at a time. Glad to hear I’m not the only one with this issue.
Thank you for your reply.
Of about 8 enhanced videos I did so far, this was the first one with the defect. The black box appeared in the last 25% of the encoded video. I never do more than 1 job at a time.
Here is screenshots frame by frame for illustration:
Was this issue ever resolved? I’m consistently having black boxes show up in processed videos when I use my desktop PC (AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and EVGA Nvidia 3090 FTW3).
FYI - the GPU is water cooled and overclocked. Using version 4.0.9.
I at least have one computer that works, an Alienware Area 51-m laptop (Intel i9-9900K and Nivdia RTX 2080) but would be nice to resolve the issue and leverage the faster computer for processing.
However, replacing the Nividia 3090 with a new card is not in the current budget… might be able to borrow an old graphics card and do a swap to test out if changing GPU fixes the issue.
That’s a real shame because, at least with my RX 6900 XT, it really seemed like it was the card with the issue. Not TVAI.
Everything else I tried to do with it, it was fine. Except the mouse cursor would glitch every time I moved it over the task bar in Windows. It would show a square around it with old pixels from before it crossed over. Just for a split second.
I tried running OCCT to see if it would tell me anything. It did say I was getting thousands of memory errors. But other runs of it, would randomly say there were none. That was a super old version of it. I think I tried a newer version and it didn’t have the memory error reporting feature. But yeah, every game I tried ran perfectly. It was just TVAI that wouldn’t work.
I tried my RTX 3080 ti in that machine. It worked correctly.
i´ve just ran into this…made 2 encodes (128gbram@5900x+3080), one with proteus, one with artemis. the artemis one suddenly got 1 small black box, then the box got twice the size within a few frames and stayed till the end. spooky.
I feel your pain. From my testing it has nothing to do with PC or GPU memory or overheating. As I was getting these errors even on 20s second sample video. So it has always appeared in the same part of video, same frames etc. So am not an expert, but I would say it is the Ai model to blame for this error.
last time it was artemis, now it was proteus… so it´s probably not the particular model?
i can consider myself lucky i already switched to image sequence outputs due to tvai`s instability issues, and to command prompt execution because tvai nukes any output if there´s any error during the process.
i think all i have to do now is to manually delete everything from the broken frame to the last image and then resume another process at that exact frame number… getting it done piece by piece… determination is everything ^^
maybe this can shed some light on the issue… it happened again.
1st frame:
2nd frame
3rd frame
4th frame
so with every next frame, the black block increased in size and stayed until the end.
however, in the 3rd frame, there is a tiny square missing in the bigger black square…
mhm… my 2 cents:
it means that the processing takes a faulty (presumably empty) dataset from the processing of one frame to all later frames - which cannot be the correct procedure, even if frame interpolation is applied.
whatever is calculated, frame n and n+1000 have nothing in common - except of course their most basic and unchanging properties (resolution, crop,etc) and the detailed processing values you´ve entered. but those also don´t become faulty over time, otherwise they couldn´t process other parts of an image correctly later on.
What worries me, is when mine was doing that, it would eventually crash and have created a bunch of corrupt frames. I had it on PNG output. If I had it process a longer video, at some point in the video, the whole frame would end up being black like that. Then it would start creating corrupt PNG files. Then it would crash the computer with a blue screen.
There was another odd behavior at one point with it. If I had it process a short clip like 5 minutes long, it would do it fine. But if I told it to do a 40 minute clip with the same settings (Apollo 8, I thinkg), It would start those black squares before the 5 minute mark.
I’m still having this issue as well with 6.0.1. Random black boxes and rectangles appearing all over some of my renders. I’ve tried switching back & forth performance settings - using CPU instead, "Reduce Machine Load” checked… still having the issue on about 40% of my output.
It’s been a year since this topic was made and it seems there’s still been no follow-up or fix?
