That might be the case but professional released video’s are to my humble opinion the result of the fact that most people who once had a camera long time lost their VHS casettes or Sony mini DV’s with the hard encoding to mp4’s and then topaz, we I mean the people that did not throw away their own made video’s have the oppurtunity to revive their VHS stuff I must say proteus v4 Iris LQ and nyx 3 do work and can be used but the latter is slow if you set 2 x intermediair.
I am very very happy all previews are kept this makes it easy to compare the output and which settings are used this is for me very very helpfull
That’s the point some of us are making though, most of the development seems to have gone into further enhancing already high quiality video and adding tools that are most useful for that. That is NOT why many of us purchased TVAI and in many cases, never will be. They need to get back to basics, how it was originally advertised and what it then did best out of anything out there. Improving poor quality video, old ones at 720p, 576p/i, 480p/i, 360p/i and in my case even old videos from the early days of the web, 240p windows media!
Anyway, it’s why I won’t be further upgrading unless and until they do some work to benefit me on such videos, and offer the old interface too, as an option. There is no advantage for me in having anything beyond v 3.5.4, which I fear I will have to revert to from my 4.2.2 (and its anoying interface) instead of upgrading to v 5. I’ve tried to get on with 4.2.2, oh how I’ve tried but now I hate it and v 5 seems to be no better if not worse.
I could not agree more, but I try to be polite otherwise my posts are moderated that is blocked… i have renewed my license and bought new laptops with better nvidia cards, just to learn that there is even no difference for topaz between a 3080 rtx and a rtx 4090 so even the system requirements speed is a useless.
Please tell me the characteristics of a budget laptop that Topaz can run on? What I need is not the official system requirements, but the practice of personal use. Thank you
Of course I mean all videos in general, either from a bad recording setting or a bad camera, or from bad editing. There are tons of flickering videos out there, you just haven’t noticed.
It is very important and please topaz developers to add it, very important tool the DEFLICKER,
PLEASE ADD IT.
Everyone professional video creators understand what i mean.
Yes, it does matter. The NVIDIA RTX 4090 and 3080 have different performance capabilities, and this can affect the performance of applications like Topaz AI.
The Puget Systems results you referred to in the above post are outdated; they are 15 months old. TVAI has undergone numerous changes in the last 15 months.
(Total 59 versions update in last 15 months)
For the latest benchmark results, I recommend checking the user benchmarks in this forum.
If In the days some users had the same remark look my 3090 is twice slower according to the benchmarks than my 4090 RTX. I would therefore not belief the user benchmarks at all sorry for this but the user benchmarks from topaz have not real value the numbers are flawed unless you have a really old 3050 3060 3070 RTX. how many users have not complained why the 4090 rtx is te same as 4080 rtx only the price is different…
So true, but most laptops with GPU cards are by the Taiwanese manufacts carefully matched for optimal GPU CPU Memory speed You only need to choose the one which gives the best bang for your bucks such as the gigabyte aorus
You are right. I was hoping to enhance my VHS sourced family videos with TVAI. Iris can help in some parts of some of them, but I cannot run it on entire recording sessions. It’s gimmicky. When it fails, it fails worse than the original. Pretty much all of the other models have not yielded results worth keeping. They mostly just make the file size go up, but look the same.
I’m not asking for me. I’m asking because that is how Topaz rolls. If they don’t see exact examples of what you mean, they, like me, cannot know what models they should make.
You can assume they know what you mean, but I’m willing to bet that they don’t.
Οnly davinci resolve STUDIO support a DEFLICKER TOOL maybe pretty good tool that needs improvements. Only good video production professionals know well what flicker means and how much it affects the final video. Is very important that your final video does not have flicker for whatever purpose you use it.
To be honest, I made more than a thousand videos at TVAI and I did not see flickering in any of the output videos. I used all the presets and different settings.
Does the same hold true for Apollo and chronos? Those also error out just as much, and that is running ONLY the frame interpolation or ONLY the NYX separately. Chronos and Apollo used to never crash.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for my slow response. Are you still having issues with the most recent update? If you are… Did you look at the memory allocation? Also, what version of OSX are you on? Is Topaz installed on your internal? I’m on OS 14.4.1 The reason I’m asking these questions is because I’m not seeing what you’re seeing so it maybe a combination of the Mmac, OS and Topaz. Please disregard if you have resolved the issues. Thanks!
