Four request for improving Video AI

Hi Topaz Labs,

Request 1

I would like to catch your attention about few missing key features in your Topaz Labs Video AI implementation !

I don’t know how you use the app or your workflow, but in my case, I need to stack renderings.

I mean my workflow is a suite of AI processing on one source. The output feeding the next process !

Actually, I have to do it manually for each source, which is highly the origin of possible mistakes.

If it was possible to create Working folders, attached a script that describe the workflow and apply each steps to the previous output so the processing are stacked!

For instance, for one video, I need to apply:

  1. Proteus Focal Fix
  2. Theia
  3. Iris
  4. Chronos
  5. Proteus upscale 4K

Request 2

As processing images per second with Chronos, one main improvment could be an auto diagnosis that scans and detects the true FPS !

Maybe strange for you, but unfortunetaly, many sources are wrongly flagged !

It has even a name : video with dirty flag.

StaxRip has open source tools that could inspire you.

With such tools, Chronos could understand the real FPS and avoid temporal artefacts.

Request 3

A global pause button in the rendering room for letting us to do something, quit the apolication, install Windows Update, etc.

Actually, when you pause a rendering, the next pending one is automatically starting ! Not exactly what I want.

Request 4

A new model for restoring damaged DV / DVD contents with missing macro blocks.

I saw on Internet one demo and it works wonderfull to fill missing / repeated macro blocks.

Usually it happens when DV tapes have drops out.

Conclusion

As usual, feel free to contact me directly by email to have more informations about my requests.

Kind regards.

Vincent.
