Agreed, but you grow by making a good product. That’s how things are supposed to work. (Or you buy up your competition and release an inferior product because you can). In this case, Topaz has no major competition, so it’s bad for the consumer. Competition always benefits the consumer.
At least you stick to your opinion :laughs: I think V6 is slowly returning to the level of 5.3.6, so I may upgrade at some point … but then I’ll have to chicken out, new UI doesn’t burn my eyes out :laugh:
Is not my opinion it’s that new user interface in TopazVideoAI6 is super improvement.
I have problems when I export videos from TopazVideoAI6 Prores and FFVI to Davinci Resolve, it is extremely slow.
What is the reason why Resolve exports so slowly when using Prores and FFVI videos exported with TopazVideoAI 6?
This is a mistake that should not be there. With AdobePremiere2025 it is extremely fast without any problems.
Prores and FFV1 is lossless so that you can edit and export to other editing programs.
Is it wrong what I am doing, should I better export with H264 or H265 with TopazVideoAi6 and Resolve also H264 or H265? If I do it this way, it also works very quickly in Resolve.
Which export setting is the right one in TopazVideoAI so that you can continue editing in Resolve without loss so that everything goes super fast and the export is fast in Resolve?
How do you do it correctly if you want to edit video further, how do you set the export correctly in TopazVideoAI?
FFV1 or Prores. Or can you also export with H264 and H265 with TopazVideoAI and further edit lossless in Resolve and export in Resolve as final again as H264 or H265 render so that the image quality remains excellent?
It really is the case that the new TopazVideoAI 6 user interface is super class, so you can work really well and get along very well.
It’s great that you understand and will also find it great thanks to me.
There is no one way. I prefer h264 (when size does not exceed 4096 pixels) over h265, because h265 can remove more tiny details/noise than h264 codec.
When you prefer real lossles codec choose FFV1, but file size gets huge. This can be useful when you do post processing steps with TVAI outputs and when you make afterwards the final encode for example with Handbrake.
But I choose often “ProRes 422HQ” when I plan do do multiple steps reimporting TVAI results etc. ProRes-HQ generates also big files but is smaller than FFV1. It is not lossless, but nearly lossless and take more care to prevents all tiny details/noise compared to h264/h265. We are really talking about a level that is only visible when looking very closely.
The thing is, when you reimport several times a video into other programs and every time a rencode happens, then lossless or nealry lossles pathway is to prefer, because otherwise you always have small encoding losses which add up.
When you edit source material, resize crop deinterlace etc in programs like Virtualdub or Hybrid, it is highly recommended to use FFV1 or AVI, the generated file size is good manageable doing this with a SD source.
