Hi, I gave it a little 352x576 (SAR 2.18) video to upscale to FHD. However, it can’t display it properly in the main window, it looks really squished together for some reason. Also, when I selected Proteus Fine Tune auto setting and exported it, it didn’t put black boarders on either side and it make the video look WAY worse! Very pixelated and blocky. Putting the same video with the same settings into 2.6.4 everything looks great and exports properly. Mac Studio Ultra. That’s my first test finding for you. More to follow over the coming days.

installed without issues. video shows on top a green/violet strip i cannot see in any player. cannot export because a FFMPEG or whatever video codec it uses; something about the audio. love the new UI and seems quite fast but in this state is useless.

It’s hard to tell from the changelog — does this solve the issue with disk space filling up?

Some observations:

  • I noticed the audio is still being compressed with no options to change this. Can we expect to see audio options alongside the video settings soon? A drop down with codecs, bitrates etc. and a toggle option to just copy the stream would be great.

  • Performance reporting similar to v2 with sec/frame is much needed (maybe make it switchable from SPF to FPS and back).

  • Stabilization wanted 300+ GB to stabilize a 1 minute video so I didn’t even bother trying it.

  • v2 style previews while processing is in progress need to be an option that can be turned off or on. I for one like to see the difference in each frame as processing is being done.

  • Once the GUI is more mature I hope to see improved models rolling out

Thanks

@gregory.maddra can the program leave in the color space and game when it writes back out the file.can it include main 10 in 10 bit video :slight_smile:

Prob models are not working properly
Here’s my commands and test videos:
ffmpeg -i test.mov -vf veai_up=scale=2:model=prob-3:estimate=15 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p prob-3.mov
ffmpeg -i test.mov -vf veai_up=scale=2:model=ahq-12 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p ahq-12.mov
Archive.zip (3.4 MB)
Both prob-2 (tested in GUI) and prob-3 (tested in CLI) are not working. Please check that.
Thank you


Edit
I experienced the same problem as

I tested the video in the archive above on the prob-3 model with estimate option off, the weird shadow no longer exists.
prob-3-no-estimate.mov.zip (1.1 MB)
Hope it can be fixed soon.


LOOK AT THIS
holly, this looks amazing, like its really a improvement here, i´m about to test all my old videos to check how this could work with the old GUI. but for now, its impressive <3

Did you use the GUI or CLI? If you composed the ffmpeg command line yourself remember to put -pix_fmt yuv420p for output option, the default yuv444p is not supported by some video players.

Preview ETA still never updates…stays at 1% until complete, then shows check mark.

Temp and Model folder preferences are completely ignored. Defaults are used.

I’ve never seen VEAI do this before. It’s like a zoomed, ghosted, slightly delayed version of the output merged with the clean version. Only moving objects are affected. I’ve tried multiple input clips, multiple presets. They all do it. I have not customized anything. I even completely uninstalled, cleaned up the junk left behind in multiple places (which still isn’t fixed), and reinstalled. Completely unusable like this, even for testing.

Is this the Proteus Fine Tune model? I found this model’s parameter auto estimation model is not working properly.

12 Bit




It’s all of them.

Edit: I take that back. It does seem to be Proteus only, but that’s the only model I have any interest in or that does anything useful for me, so kind of a bummer that it’s completely unusable for me in this version.

Looking good so far and the implementation of h265 is a must have-although 10 bit output is missing.
Few bugs of course in this early state:
-Proteus auto setting produces extreme ghosting,as mentioned above.-switching to manual solves the problem.
-Comparison view while processing is missing
-Color shifting when throwing 10 bit material in;colors looking washed out.
Other than that pretty happy with this gui alpha.

Are you seeing the color shift on the output file or in the preview?
