I’m more concerned with frame interpolation than image enhancement because it’s still pretty immature. I hope to open a separate topic to follow up on the changes and problems of Video AI in frame interpolation, and communicate with you. First, you should read Topaz Video AI v3.1.4 - #16 by q91632 …

what about Chronos (not fast)? how does that perform?

Interpolation in v2.6.3 doesn’t cope well with rotations and repeating patterns. Quite severe wobble is introduced under these conditions. Here is Topaz up against DAIN. [topaz interpolation wobble vs dain]

Chronos has not changed much from the old version, and if it is used to deal with small changes, it is no problem to use it.

[image] Topaz Video AI v3.1.6 Releases To add to my previous feedback, Apollo’s rectangles appear in transitions for 4K input, 1080p does not. [image]

On 3.1.9, apollo still has no progress on the above issues, it still casts colors and generates blocks, and even blocks appear more often and more frequently now.

Looks like they’ve given up though, from the new roadmap: We’re now quite satisfied with the quality of Topaz Video AI’s frame interpolation, so will now refocus on improving our general enhancement models. You may be whistling in the wind.

If you only talk about the quality of frame interpolation, there is indeed a lot of improvement. However, whether it is color shift or squares, it should be regarded as a bug. As long as it is not resolved, apollo will always be a toy rather than a tool. Given that there are more blocks now, users …
