@tony.topazlabs Can we please get a benchmark thread started for the 5.x series? Thanks.

it is a hidden microsoft folder programdata enable hidden items in explorer
n modern versions of Windows, youâll see a âProgramDataâ folder on your system driveâusually the C: drive. This folder is hidden, so youâll only see it if you show hidden files in File Explorer1. It contains data for both Windows classic and UWP applications. However, itâs generally not recommended to alter system files, including the ProgramData folder2. If you need to access it, follow these steps:
- Open File Explorer options from Control Panel.
- Go to the View tab.
- Uncheck âHide protected operating system filesâ and click on âShow hidden files and foldersâ.
- Youâll find the ProgramData folder on your C:/ drive itself3.
âProgramData is not Appdata
For those who are unhappy with the new GUI look, please vote for the idea I just posted:
The pause function does not seem to work with clips that are stabilized. Could this still be implemented?
Bug: The temp file âfilename_258257891.mp4â is not being deleted when the final file is finished.
No. The only thing open that could be reading it, besides Topaz itself, is an Explorer window.
That new logo icon is horrendous, glad I saw this as Iâm not updating until itâs fixed.
I think the removing of icons from each section on the right-hand side âStabilisation, Enhancement, etcâ was a bad choice too. Especially since those icons used to show you in the bottom centre what youâve selected, now thereâs no visual communication of this.
Also, a technical issue Iâm facing in v5 that wasnât in 4.2.2. My inputed file has a constant framerate of 25FPS for example but when I export, I now have a variable framerate where the minimum is 25 but the maximum can be some nonsense value like 12000FPS. This means I canât relink the clip later in Resolve due to this framerate mess up.
This wasnât an issue in 4.2.2 and I just confirmed there by downgrading and running the same footage through it. Output is constant framerate in 4.2.2. The issue is identical on macOS and Windows.
I did not expect a new major update! If everything here is true, this is huge!
What are your export settings ?
Iâm getting the same using h265 to .mp4 anf FFV1 to .mov
Defo a bug. Tested on 5.0.0 and 5.0.1

Can you send the logs to the support team or post here?
Wow, that program has a nice retro look to it. I use MediaInfo Lite. Whatâs that?
Mediainfo - Text view
I had a PC issue of some kind whilst doing exports late last night, unsure what happened but the PC had restarted. So this is the first time I have seen how this resume function after crash works.
The exports are there - they even had started again by themselves - however, they both started from the beginning and ignoring the 80% of one already done and 60% of the other.
Is it intended to restart the entire export from a crash?
New features are great but Iâd personally prefer updates more focused on hardware optimization, Iâve been looking at the benchmarks and noticed the 4080 and 4090 are almost identical yet the specs are huge.
Currently on Task Manager my GPU is only been used 10%, while CPU is at 90%, even with putting GPU in preferences.
Features are great ideas that most will love the effort of them being implemented but I always feel they should be added once the software is ready for them.
Dont use task manager use gpu-z to get a correct reading.
My export settings were H265, Main, Constant 2.5 Mb/s, Audio Mode Copy and Container mp4.
