Image Sequence: Missing images!

Topaz Video AI Bugs and Issues

Let’s say I have 100 photos in a folder, then add them to Topaz. Click Export, and instead of giving me back 100 photos; it gives me only 80!? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’ve tried this even without making any changes to the settings, and the same thing still happens… I get less photos back! :triumph:

I reported this same issue a couple weeks back. Topaz is investigating but no updates as of yet. BTW, what file type were your 100 photos?

Also, the # 100 was just an example. It was actually over 250 in each folder, and 4 folders in all. But the problem remains with any amount. Here’s what I had to do to get them finished… It’s wearisome, and shouldn’t be necessary to begin with! :face_exhaling:

Fortunately the missing photos weren’t random, but where Topaz stopped/left off!

Folder A

  • 265 photos
  • Topaz does only 250 (example)
  • Create a (new) folder inside Folder A, and place the last 15 inside the new folder.
  • Topaz does only 14
  • Take the completed 14 out of the new folder; leaving only 1 photo left.

Problem: Topaz will not accept just 1 photo! You need atleast 4 or 5 to get started! :woman_facepalming:t2:

  • Make multiple copies of the last photo until Topaz accepts them.
  • Complete. Keep only 1 and delete the rest; since they’re all the same.
  • Now combine all the (upscaled) photos into 1 folder. “Finish.”

Now on to Folder B, then C, then D. :face_with_spiral_eyes::skull:

I think I have an idea of what’s going on. Look at this console status:

I’m running this on a folder of tiff images. I use -framerate 23.976 because that’s what the source was, if I didn’t it would default to 25. The real problem you can see is what’s being reported at the very end: dup=58 drop=151. This means that images have been duplicated 58 times, and 151 images have been dropped (Though usually these are duplicates).

Anyway, it’s like -r is being set by the tvai_fi filter. I know I’m not setting it, so there should be no drops nor duplicates. Yet there they are being reported.
