It would be nice if you could enter a variable decimal value (e.g. 1.39x) for the Slow Motion (Frame Interpolation). I think that the programming effort will not be very great.
Done. Type it in and press enter.
Really done?
Unfortunately, this does not work with my version 4.0.9.
A red frame appears after and the preview is executed as “None”.
Any ideas?
You have a non US keyboard layout with comma as decimal separator?
And what’s your output format? Some codecs might not support non-standard frame rates.
Yes, I use a German keyboard layout. I have tried using periods and commas, but neither works. Which character code is correct?
As awkward as it is I guess for now you have to switch to US keyboard layout when doing such tasks with TVAI.
And this with a paid software at a quite high price… 
After thinking about this I believe you have to set the whole region and especially number formats to US as this is the culprit.
On MacOS it doesn’t work if region is set to Germany but does when I set it to US. I can even leave the keyboard german.
(the setting marked with the red circle likely is the important one)
P.S.: Since this is not an idea but really a bug (the feature already is there but simply doesn’t work in certain conditions) I’ve moved this to Bugs and Issues.
The interim solution of setting the region as “US” also works here. So we are now hopefully waiting for the final solution. Thank you very much for this pleasant communication.
Don’t hold your breath. This was reported already a few times but apparently nobody cares 
.
Which is embarrassing as about every free software gets this right and it really shouldn’t be that hard to correct.
As a software developer, I have never heard about this situation before it came up in TVAI. I can take an educated guess as to why nothing has been done about it. Programming is very strict about what characters get entered into certain situations, like math. Most programming langues only use simple ASCII characters. The German keyboard layout must be entering characters of ‘period’ and ‘comma’ that are unicode characters not found on any ASCII table.
That’s unfathomably complex for anyone to have bothered to have done… Otherwise it would be a simple line of: “if comma, replace with period.”
That will still be the ultimate solution, but the list of what a comma could be will be much longer.
It’s not „the German keyboard“ but every region that has a comma as decimal separator.
And, as shown above, it’s not even the keyboard language itself but the systems number format settings.
Plus, about every freeware dev does get this correct so why not Topaz?
