For me it’s the other way around xD because they take Functionality away, and keep administration of cuts so basic that even VirtualDub’s cut administration (at least it can copy & paste frames around) looks like alien science.

Video AI is a Tool, VirtualDub is a tool.

A Video Editor is a highly functional, highly flexlible, complex, cluttered (most times ^^) Application.

Multiple Tracks - that can be filled with different Video/Audio sources, snippets/cuts, copy & paste, drag and drop, filtering Snippets, blending etc etc

Back to Video Ai

I find the Tab Idea in V6 not bad (especialy for fast Comparing, just by click) because people got less vertical space as horzontal, and because V5 used a Tree List and not just a Simple List (which is plain and simple just better !)

Tree List

  • Artemis V13 - Medium
    Frame 0-2000
  • Proteus V4
    Frame 2001 - 2005 (Extreme Blocking Section - Settings 1)
  • Proteus V4 ← Bad ! Tree Group Entry for same Frame Range and same Model
    Frame 2001 - 2005 (Extreme Blocking Section - Settings 2)
  • Artemis Strong Dehalo
    Frame 2006 - 2100

Tree List - Much harder to Sort, Vertical Space Waste, less oversight, uses a HashMap with Array/Lists as underlying Backbone ← More Risk for memory Leaks, more wasted Ram etc etc

Simple List

Frame 0 - 2000 | Tag: Stable Quality | Artemis Medium , Settings …
Frame 2001 - 2005 | Tag: Extreme Blocking | Proteus4, Settings 1
Frame 2001 - 2005 | Tag: Extreme Blocking | Proteus4, Settings 2
Frame 2006 - 2100 | Tag: Stable Quality | Artemis Dehalo, Settings

Simple List - Can be sorted after Frames/tags/Settings, no space Waste, more oversight.

Back to Tree List from V5

There was no real Functionality inside.

If i see a Box with a “V” or “X” inside, i think out of reflex (i grow up with MS-DOS and use a lot Checkboxes in my Tools) that, it’s a CheckBox.

I click on the Check Box, nothing happens, so just a indicator (i would Change the Color Letter inside the Entry to Green, and use the Box as Checkbox. Checked by me means → Ok ! i’m happy with the Result.) that it’s done ? Okaaaay.

I try to delete a Entry inside a Tree Entry, doenst work. Realy ? Why is there then a Tree List in the first place ? I dont get it.

I *rew around in the timelime, try things out on different parts, and the Tree View gets cluttered like that.

  • Artemis V13 - Medium - Recover 70
    Frame 0-2000
    Frame 2001 - 2005
    Frame 4000 - 5000
  • Artemis V13 - Medium - Recover 69 ^^ ← Wow ! Another Tree Entry because of - 1
    Frame 2001 - 2005
  • Proteus V4 - Settings 1
    Frame 2001 - 2005
  • Proteus V4 - Settings 2
    Frame 2001 - 2005
  • Artemis Strong Dehalo
    Frame 2006 - 2100
  • Proteus V3
    Frame 4000 - 5000

No i got 4 Times 2001 - 2005 ! but i can only delete 3 of them ! because i cant just remove a Entry inside a Tree Entry (Group ^^) i can just Remove ““Groups”” (Tree Entrys)

A Hashmap is a good thing when it makes sense.

Normal List (one dimension, no Fields, anything 1 Line of String) with 100k Entrys
----------------- First Entry is 0 ! Computer Count different.
superman1, plz 827267
superman19, plz 827264
papaschlumpf, plz 82736
5uperm4n1, plz 826627
..
..

Now if i want to find out if there allready exist a entry with “papaschlumpf, plz 82736” the Computer must search from Top to Bottom and break the Search when Search Term was found.

Even 100k Entrys are nothing, it’s blazing fast ! (i know that for shure ^^ i saw many big Lists in my life) even back in 2003 something like that was very fast.

HashMap with 100k Entrys
----------------------- Can’t be Sorted !

  • superman1, plz 827267
  • superman19, plz 827264
  • papaschlumpf, plz 82736
  • 5uperm4n1, plz 826627

Now with a HashMap, the “Search” and access Time is much faster. It just Calculates the Hash Sum from the Search Term “papaschlumpf, plz 82736” and by Math Magic it know’s were it is located in the Ram.

Sounds fine !

You can even add a Sub List/Array (with or without Tables/Columns) to each Entry from the HashMap ! But you cant use Sub HashMaps in Lists/Arrays (so the other way around) if i remember it right.

So it looks like a HashMap has just advantages or not ?

Not realy.

I can use Tables/Columns (Data Structures) with Lists/Arrays (Arrays are much faster as Lists @ Random Access. 25-30 Years ago, Lists were faster) too !

  • superman1, plz 827267, 1981, bla , bla2
  • superman19, plz 827264, 1969 ^^, bla30 , bla25
  • papaschlumpf, plz 82736, 1988, bla12 , bla22
  • 5uperm4n1, plz 826627, 1977, bla87 , bla29

and i can Sort them like i want ! I can Sort after Name, after Zip Code etc etc ! so i can much better, and easier visualize and transfer the Content from the >internal< Backbone to the >external< visible List !

That Topaz has a Problem to transfer (and maybe that some crazy memory leak is going on. Arrays especialy with Tables/Columns are the worst, when it comes to that ) becomes obvious, when many different Group/Tree Entrys with many Sub Entrys are in the Preview List.

The Gui starts to react very sluggish, which is embarrassing, for anything under 5k visible Entrys !

2 Possiblitys:

Insane Memory Leaks & way to Long “Search/Access Term” for the Hash Map Entrys

Or

FileSystem (MFT in NTFS) get’s cluttered and accessing Directory with Preview becomes very slow, because of a Ton a PNG Files ! (The More Files a Folder Contains, the Slower the Access Time. Some Filesystems slow down faster with many files, some slower)

Solution ? Shorter More Effective Filenames, distributed in more SubFolders !

Input File. SomeChick - SomeMovie.mp4

or like that.

I did stuff like that and searching stuff in huge Lists, a Ton in my Life. It’s easy !

If they can write an AI they and got a Team of Coders then they can do that to without problems.

VideoProc Converter is very good as a normal video converter but as an AI not there TopazVideoAI is and remains the best, the image quality and everything Topaz can do best than all other comparable other programmes and Topaz also has the fastest export.

I know but if it works at least you can see the video.

True, but at least I see an improvement not a detoriation and Gui enhancement is the least important it is about the order we will see when topaz has been taken over… I never allow Topaz to do the conversion the settings in video proc pro do a much better 1 to 1 copy autocopy and identerlace then I import into Topaz and I will leverage Topaz what it does well no upscale no stabalize no audio convert but only enhance not even enable the checkbox in the dynamic give all your GPU cycles to enhancement in topaz and since Topaz uses a GOP of 30 in High Dynamic I start with converting in Video proc pro with a GOP of 30 and always HVEC hen I import it in 365 Colourdirector to warm up the colours if needed and do a NLE denoise That s all folks for today

As far as I can see, the remaining time for a clip (when doing a preview) is no longer in this new version. I always use that and it is no longer available. Please put it back in there.

Also, we need a pause button (or option) to ‘Pause All’ (when exporting several clips) because when you pause one clip, the app reverts to the next clip forcing you to pause each video one at a time, to stop the whole process or you just have to close the remaining clips which makes no sense. ‘Pause All’ would be very nice to implement in this new version.

I’m not referring to the single ‘Pause’ button. This is when you have several clips in queue, there is no ‘PAUSE ALL’ button. Thanks anyhow. :grinning:

That’s when exporting not preview.

Exactly. That is correct.

The new GUI is so bad I’ve reverted to version 5.5.1. The GUI is totally impractical for batch processing. Give us a working GUI, even reverting to the previous one would be better than the dog’s breakfast that is version 6. Plus all the unsquashed bugs. Stop rushing to get a new version out all the time, run more betas to debug, concentrate on fixings stuff. My renewal is in less than a month and, unless this unfinished beta pretending to be version 6 sees major changes, I’ll not be handing over any more cash.

And to add… If you maneuver the screen to your liking and then minimize the screen, the screen reverts back to Before you moved the screen. In other words, the screen preferences are not saved when minimizing and then maximizing.
This is a screen shot of where I want this to be…


I minimize the screen, then maximize back up and it goes back to the default screen.

@tony.topazlabs

When i switch on the 2nd enhancement, the AI model receives the input, i.e. the original and not the output from the 1st model.

This is disadvantageous because I want to improve the output of the 1st model and not the input that is contaminated with block artifacts, which then negatively influences the result.


Nyx V3 is extremely good at reducing compression blocking and not altering image content.

Reha or other models want to change faces, for example, but this happens to such an extent that the people are deformed or no longer recognizable, or sunglasses are replaced with eyes.

After Nyx, however, I would like to have another model process the output, but that is not possible at the moment.
