I tested your settings and also @ForSerious Settings compared to each other and compared to OOB “Slower” Preset.
and the differences is so minor (after running the 3 step TVAI process) that it took me long time to spot the difference in detail gain.
I used the Vide-Compare tool for it as i analyzed frame by frame.
In either way the “Slower” Preset provided me the cleanest final outcome after running it through Topaz (my 3 steps process) and the level of details lose compared to your QTGMC (and @ForSerious ), was so minimal to hardly noticeable, but the cleanliness of the “Slower” was more noticeable then detail loss.
My conclusion is the added value of the cleanliness of the videos outperformed the level of detail gain with with your (and @ForSerious ) QTGMC settings.
So I will stick with the “Slower” OOB Preset/template that QTGMC offers.
