Ok ! Thanks for the info. I thought not, will give tries therefore 
I usually only use amount set to 1 and size set to max, occasionally I set amount to 2. Works best on MQ HD sources, for example 720p to 1440p or 1080p to 4k.

Is this an official account or scammer pretending to be working for Topaz?
The account isnāt followed by Topaz nor does it have much followers and not much info via Google.
Iāve only came across this message request as it got filtered as spam.
The message sent was for collaboration for promoting Topaz on my YouTube channel and Twitter page etc
The advance payment part should be the giveaway that itās a scam.

I agree but thought Iāll double check with Topaz, since they can go and get the page taken down.

Tony A Team Licence Would be a good example for Enterprise Being for Video AI to work on same projects as a team Like Resove Studio( Client Server) .Using Multi GPU did not make the large performance on iMac.People With Apple chips can not use Egpus .Only Windows And Intel iMacs .
Finding the Before-After comparison confusing.
The 2s preview pre-selects the preview clip where Before and After (both the split and the click-hold versions) are identical, both views being After only.
Selecting the original clip, Before and After appear to be back-to-front (both the split and the click-hold versions), as the Before view always looks sharper and clearer than the After view and seems to match what is seen when the Preview clip is selected.
my computer got crashed while processing and not i have to start rendering from 0 this is ridiculous! why it canāt continue processing where it left?

Yes. Change it back to previous version. My render time has doubled.
I just read thru all the 150 comments in this 5.3.1 update.
I agree with many of them.
Suggestion here:
āMonster faceā result with models has been an issue for me in upscaling.
Iām not a power user, but it would be great if you would incorporate new models (after testing) that are based on suggestions by some of your more advanced users and tweaking of default settings.
Maybe load these new named sub-models under the Preset Category in your settings (optional to add by software user).
One post suggested setting noise to 0 or -100 for Proteus default settings to reduce āMonster Facesā
Say for example model: Proteus - Monster Face tweak 1 
A lot of the comments have been about enhancing the models and not adding new interface features - which I agree with.
But maybe some time devoted to User suggested tweaking of settings and then incorporating those as āsub-modelsā that have been reviewed by Topaz could help some here.
I find myself becoming frustrated moving between Topaz AI 2.64 vs. Topaz AI 4.09, trying different models in order to get the cleanest and truest upscaling of videos.
Suggestion 2: Maybe create a position for a dedicated programmer to deal with this and offer users that submit good tweaking of models to address some concerns (like āMonster Facesā/Artifacts, Etcā¦ 25% discount (just example) in order to submit these tweaked models if they are used by your company and added under presets.
Thanks!

Thereās already a model specifically for dealing with faces - Iris.
5.3.1 is garbage ā¦ your dev team (if there is one) just seems to go around in circles. They change UI elements that donāt need changing while leaving other ones broken and then break things they fixed in earlier versions.
Seriously, whomever is coding the UI really should NOT be. Again the issues:
-
The bug where selecting ALL clip sources in the Source pane will change the AI model back to None, this was fixed now broken again ā¦ come on!
-
Any 4X upscale job almost always results in 0.0 fps and 24 hours of no progress. So far this is with Proteus and/or Iris MQ. EDIT: happens with 2X upscale also on Iris MQ, the job progress bar goes away and the āā¦ā cycle and sits at 0.0 FPS with two temporary files one large and one 0KB ā¦ after about 10-20 minutes it will eventually complete.
-
When I select my sources (ex: 14 selected) the export button (lower right) no longer shows 14 items to process and only shows āExport Asā¦ā one source (when 14 are selected) ā¦ this used to work fine now itās broken. I have to go to the Process menu and select Export(14) ā¦ congratulations your dev team have broken batch processing again.

Working with large MP4 4K files (27GB) to remove compression and clean them up triggers a LONG LONG delay (think 15-25 seconds) whenever I place/move the timeline play head. This issue makes the process of creating start and end points painful, like 15 minutes when it should take 5 seconds.
-
Scaling the timeline is horrendous, tiny increments make huge timeline changes on longer sources (this needs to be capped not just take total time and divide into slider segments).
-
Showing static example images of how the AI model makes a difference is pointless because the source determines the best AI model and the sources are rarely the same so have some generic sample is pointless.
-
Hiding the parameters via an āEnable parametersā checkbox was done why? These parameters are kinda important, in fact, theyāre extremely important to getting the best results and you want to hide them by default??
-
Preset management is again a horrible user experience. For example, if I recreate a new preset and want to save it with the same name as an existing preset, I get this tiny tiny red text telling me I canāt save it? Hello, how about give me a prompt to let me determine if I want to replace the existing one or not?
Iām just baffle by the continuous poor programming and even worse UI design ā¦ Iāve never see anything like this in my 40+ years of software engineer to project management, what the heck?? Is this for real? Iām beyond baffled at how this product can continue to be so bad.
