Script doesnt work for me. Gives me ffmpeg error.

24

It only worked when I edited it to specifically point at the FFMPEG binary in the TVAI folder. However, it takes a long time to run and I still only ended up with ~11GB in my models folder from a total of 302 files, not the >100GB that everyone else seems to be getting. I donā€™t know why that is. Iā€™m running a laptop with a Ryzen 7 6800U CPU and Radeon 680M GPU. When I try to preview different configurations in TVAI, it inevitably wants to download the model despite making sure itā€™s configured to look at the same models folder Iā€™m downloading to.

25

This is very frustrating!!! Model download is taking very long timeā€¦

Please provide a separate link for downloading the Models at a timeā€¦

Thanks

Really annoying to have to pay a lot of money for this software and not get the main models downloaded. Guess the company does not care. Definitely gonna try to get a refund

Hello,

This script does download all of the necessary model files for every filter except stabilization. Is there a specific issue youā€™re seeing when using the script?

28

Can anyone get this script to work in macos? If I run this from /Applications/Topaz Video AI.app/Contents/MacOS I get an output similar to what others have had and nothing gets downloaded. Any help would be appreciated.
Running Ventura 13.2.1 on an M1 Mac mini, Topaz Video AI 3.2.5

Yea I am having ffmpeg errors like the others on this thread.

I tested the script for macOS and it doesnā€™t work. Why provide a script that obviously does not work and moreover without any detailed instructions. I am very disappointed with this version 3.2.7 and for the moment it is absolutely not worth buying until the version is at version 4. Version 2.6.4 remains for the moment better designed.

Iā€™m a Mac user and was running into the ā€œDownloading Modelsā€ error. It seemed that every time I tried to generate a preview it would hang on that error and fail.

I wrote a PHP script that searches through the Topaz Video AI log files, regexes the missing models, then downloads them into the models folder. Any time I get that error, I just run the script and it pulls in the missing models. Itā€™s been useful to me, so I figured Iā€™d share in case it was useful to someone else:

To run, download the file, cd into the directory the script is located, and execute php getMissingModels.php from the terminal.
