Invalid value 0.000000 for option dstw

Topaz Video AI General
1

I’m trying to upscale and restore an old video.
-Stabilize Auto-Crop (2x upscale)
-Stabilize strengt 35 / shutter correction: yes / reduce jitter: yes / 2 passes
-Enhancement:progressive / Artemis / High Quality / Add noise: 1
-Output: h264 High / Mp4 auto auto

It takes 10 minutes before the real upscaling starts, but then ends with this error: “- Invalid value 0.000000 for option dstw.”

Here you can see what happens: Topaz Video AI - Invalid value 0.000000 for option dstw - YouTube

Maybe I was naive to think that this software would work out of the box, but now I’m looking for a way to make it work.

This is in the log

I tried it again with the same setting but with H265 Main 10 encoder. Now I get this error:

- Invalid output resolution. Try changing the output resolution or encoder.

Oh for fuggs sake…

I noticed this line in the log:
e[0me[48;5;0me[38;5;0mPassing a number to -vsync is deprecated, use a string argument as described in the manual.

It appears that the program is using deprecated commands?

Exactcly the same causes, symptoms and problem for me but it seems that no answer comes from Topaz.
I before tried Video enhance AI 2.6 ans it was working allright.
Now I bought, these last days, all the bundle pictures and video software from Topaz and Video AI 3.06 doesn’t work well.
This is a regression and sadly, it seems Topaz doesn’t really care about it !
Why and what for did I spend my money in this software ?

I am having the same problem. Keep getting Resolution Errors. Tried just about everything to resolve it. No luck. The error appears when the 1st of 2 passes is completed. This error is making it Topaz Video Enhance unusable.

Problem persists in version 3.0.9, unfortunately rendering Topaz Video AI USELESS.
