We currently cannot preview videos when we have multiple videos processing without manually pausing a bunch of videos in the waiting line.
I would like an option to “reserve preview” -one process so that I can continue to preview videos and adjust settings before putting each one in line for processing.
Once I am done lining up a bunch of videos for processing we could then un-click a “reserve preview” button (or whatever you want to call it) and then the waiting list of unprocessed videos would run the maximum number of processes selected in the user preferences.
I’ve just written quite the same thing before I’ve seen your post. I’d really appreciate such a function. As soon as there is stabilisation activated you can’t even pause the other jobs.
I often check settings and render previews before rendering the end product. As soon as I have a certain amount of render jobs, previewing is not possible anymore and the preview gets on the render list.
I’d like an option where Topaz Video AI pauses the render jobs and priorizes the previews.
Once the PC is already loaded down with multiple renders, it could have added latency. I think it would be better if we were able to reserve a process for previews before we get to our chosen maximum number of processes.
I would like to keep the ability to pause, of course, but I think “reserving” a process will function more smoothly for the end user.
The question is how “reserving process" for previews works. Is the meaning renderings gets not paused, but slowed down to assign ressources to a seperate process for preview? Yes that would be a fine solution, if this works, if your running exports keeps stable and ramps up after previews gets finished.
It means the export queue limit (and only the export) gets reduced by one process until the reserve preview button is unchecked, but the total max process stays the same…so that there is always a process available for preview. Exports don’t even start beyond the max process number minus one. (If I select “reserve preview” prior to starting my exports.)
So if I set max process to 3 in my settings but click “reserve preview” while editing, the export queue will only run two processes until I uncheck “reserve preview”…then there will be 3 exports running at once.
If I decide I want to start editing a new video while the max number of exports is already running, then the program will need to pause one of the exports to free up a process.
