Translate:

“The Windows Installer service cannot install the upgrade patch because the program that is being updated may be missing, or because the upgrade patch would update a different version of the program. Make sure that the program you want to upgrade is installed on the computer and that you are installing the correct upgrade patch.”

Hello, thanks for reporting this. For anyone who has any issues with in-app updater please uninstall and use the download link to install. We are looking into remedying future version in-app updates. If anyone else sees this issue please comment below with the version you upgraded from.

Is it just me, or does everything related to previews no longer work? It shows ‘processing’ and then displays the ‘original’ again. This happens to me in ‘Live render’ as well as when I set it to process a specific duration. Only if I use an external player can I see what was processed.
I noticed this in the Beta version as well, but I didn’t get a chance to report it.

Edit: Apparently, after I specified once again where to create the temporary files, the preview is working.

Is it just me, or have none of the most egregious errors been fixed? Like always starting in ‘Trial’ mode, and Preview horrendously broken on all levels.

I recently bought a PC with one of the new Ryzen 9 AI processors. I notice Video AI does not make use of its AI NPU. Any plans on supporting it with a future release?

I assume you’re talking about a laptop equipped with Ryzen AI. As far as I know, there are only laptops on the market equipped with this kind of processor.

Actually, it is a BeeLink SER9 mini PC. So far I am pretty happy with it.

I’d advise a bit of caution - could you check, if the folder used for keeping the previews (or user TEMP folder’s whole content - which is something not advisable if there is a program running and using some other temporary files) is being wiped out at VEAI’s exit?

That never worked anyway. Is it much of a loss?

Hi, since I export in ProRes, I have a dedicated NVMe SSD specifically for this purpose, essentially a ‘sacrificial’ SSD, so the temporary directory is located on it. I checked, and TVAI doesn’t delete anything on exit, nor does the default OS temporary directory get affected.

Thank you! I’ll test it then as well, since I have ‘normal’ TEMP folder, but on a different drive (not a sacrificial HDD). :slight_smile:

With a 28 Watts mobile CPU.

Hello, starting in trial mode should be fixed in 5.3.5. If you are still seeing this issue, please let me know.

Hey, are you saying the “Duplicate frames” option is not showing under frame interpolation?

And if so, what version are you on?

Hey could you let me know what you mean by “after I specified once again where to create the temporary files”? so what was your steps to resolve the issue? It might help me figure out what is going on.

This issue has just been resolved for Windows, thanks for pinging our attention. No update needed, in-app should work again.

Still waiting for ProRes Export to be compatible with Adobe Creative Cloud products when on Apple Silicon Macs. It’s now been broken since April. If it’s not going to be supported, can you please put that in the release notes?
