Hello,
I am currently trying to convert a series of videos. I notice that after one or two conversions of videos of same resolution, and similar lengths and bitrate (around 15 min) using the same settings each time (for reference, upscale to 4K from 1080, progressive, Theia Detail, Sharpness 40, Grain amount 5, size 1), the processing speed goes down from initially 0.3-0.4fps for the first video I work on to 0.1fps for the next (or two afterwards) and never recovers. Even after restarting the application the processing speed does not return to around 0.3-0.4fps. The only way to get this higher speed is to restart the computer, reopen the application, and apply my settings to the video then I get 0.3-0.4fps. I would prefer not to have to restart my computer so often.
I am using the following:
- Topaz Video AI version 3.1.6
- MacBook Pro Apple Silicon M1 (2020)
- 16GB RAM
- Mac OS Ventura 13.2
Performance Settings:
- Use GPU (Apple M1)
- Max. 100% memory usage
- Max. 4 processes
- Low power mode setting off
Is there something that can be done or needs fixing such that I don’t have to keep restarting my computer every time I want to convert another very similar video to one previously converted? The fact that a computer restart rectifies the issue suggests maybe something is possibly not being ‘reset’ or ‘cleaned up’ after each conversion?
Thank you for your attention.
