Encountered an issue with both the non-interlace and interlace versions of the Proteus model. Output file stutters when played back both in Topaz UI, in external player and also when output file is brought into DaVinci Resolve for final output processing. And by stutter I mean it plays correctly for a few seconds and then it will jump back and replay a few frames, then play normal, then mess up again. This only seems to occur w/ the Proteus model and only after the latest update. Happens w/ all sources tried.
System is a custom desktop w/ Nvidia 4070:

The team is working on a patch for this issue as we have seen it appear as variable frame rates and issues where the clip frames are out of order and skip.
Search “VFR” at the top, and you’ll find a lot about ut.
I believe both Artemis and Port have the same issue. They drop frames for no apparent reason, causing variable frame rate, which in turn causes the stuttering you’re experiencing.
Unless you are using the AI models SDR to HDR and Rea XL, download v5.3.6. It’s the most recent version where variable frame rate isn’t an issue. You will have all the latest AI models, just like in current version except for the ones mentioned above.
That’s what I did and con confirm that it doesn’t have that issue. Version 5.3.6 works.
