Oh weird. The window size got reset. BUT not out of the screen this time. That’s so much better.

This sounds like it will be a big update for everyone doing batch processing.

Also, for the first time ever, the update downloaded in two seconds.

The exported file will have one more duplicate frame. This does not affect the final effect, but please don’t ignore it. Please fix it.

Update: Looks like “auto” is the problem, manual looks better, without cutoff ← but not with Nyx.

Proteus on, Proteus off.

Seriously, I would really like to see a version without any problems.

It’s slowly getting ridiculous and I’m feeling the need for professionalism.

Here you can see how it shifts the tonal values, not quite as much as in the other module but very obviously.

So there are two issues with this version I have come across


  1. The ‘Export All’ option has stopped working and I can’t select multiple input files and add them all to the export queue, either via the right click option or the blue Export button, it only adds the first input file of the selected items to the queue and ignores the rest.

  2. There has been an ongoing issue with the Default Preset option, in the last few releases, where a custom preset that uses the AI Model Iris MQ gets switched to Proteus when input files are loaded, so you have to use the ‘Reset To Preset’ option after loading input files to make sure the correct model is used. Now when you load input files it’s ignoring any Default Preset you have set in the preferences and just has ‘None’ as the preset, along with the existing issue.

The functions to copy and paste parameters from one clip to a selection of other clips doesn’t work reliably anymore. I mean copy and paste from the context menu and “copy and paste on steroids” as described here. With the last beta it still works.

Hello,

Would you mind describing the issue in more detail and a workflow how to reproduce it? I’m asking, because what you see below is 8K cropped in VAI 4.2.1 ( 7680x4320 16:9 to 7680x3200 2.4:1).

Tying to batch export a set of selected clips opens a file dialogue for the first clip and ignores the rest, although the export button and the export menu show the item count correctly:

Report you case in my “error” thread :wink:

no audio after upscaling

feels like magic when it works, but more often I find it less magic and more pain. Im on a maxed out m3 max MacBook Pro and it crashes all the time , colors are just wrong and in my view the fps conversion is worse. I wish it supported HDR , rec2020 , etc.

My vedio shoot by Canon r5 8k(8192*4320) can’t.

I can no longer export multiple sequences with the same settings. The export button shows the number of clips that I have selected, but when I press export, only one of the sequences is exported.

Is Aion getting TensorRT acceleration?
