3.0.7.0.b drops an “unknown error” and opens a message box telling about an ffmpg error. I can not zip the log file folder because the access seems to be restricted for couriosity.

Right panel, video info section formatting has been reverted to the messed up version (this had already been fixed in previous releases):

It crashes when you click on a completed preview to replay it.

Hello, my opinion? For me, I really don’t see any change with each beta release of the software, but an impression that it’s getting worse… not for you? After that it’s just my opinion. I hoped to see an update of the models, to see if they would put back the list of models to make our choice that we want as in 2.6.4 and why not put back the old versions of each model at the same time, but it’s still not done :slightly_frowning_face: because now we really can’t choose the models we had before. :slightly_frowning_face:

I appreciate what you’re saying, but it may be that the currently (rewritten) scheme or the current FFmpeg will no longer support them.

I still use 2.3 when I want full control of all models, and I use 3.0.5 when I want stabilization or some of the other new features. It’s the best of both worlds. :grin: And I can run both at the same time!

It’s very sad, really sad for us because all people like the all version models :frowning:

You have right, 2.3.0 is always good version :slight_smile:

I just created this feature request - please vote here if you want model management back in v3!

I think it’s unlikely that this is the case, as the models are just passed as filter arguments to FFMpeg, so getting any model to work should be trivial at this point.

Sorry, I can’t continue running this beta release. It hangs much too easily.

Considering the error specified in the forum entry by david.123, I suspect that someone linked in an older, buggier version of the GUI (or it’s modules) than in the officially released version.

Also, I have a few suggestions for making the necessity for some of these ‘fixes’ go away.

You need to add a couple of preference toggles to the GUI itself. One would to take the existing preview list order toggle and make it remember the position it was left in from session to session. You also need one for the auto preview repeat feature. Some people like these, others not so much…- Another very nice to have feature would be a zoom lock toggle. It is nice to have the new stuff come up at a preferential zoom level, but it is also convenient to lock the zoom level for doing close-up comparisons of various previews. (Presently snapping the zoom back to preference setting every time there a shift to another preview, it’s a pain to manually re-zoom and reposition.)

I tried three time even after clean install and every time i am getting AI error model not found. i tried all settings

I would greatly appreciate if we could probably get a beta version that is working at least so far that we can do some beta tests please. It currently feels like a big faulty mess. :eyes:

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but when I import an HDR10 4K video and not change any of the settings at all (as an experiment by me to see if the dulled image comes out ok in the end result on a 1080 monitor) the Preview works fine for me and does what I wanted, but when I hit Export I get an Unknown Error?

Looks like it won’t let me do a straight copy. I need to run something else, be it a Model, Frame Interpolation, etc.,etc…

just to say when I read your comments: this version is getting worse and worse :slightly_frowning_face:

David,

It’s likely they made changes to their newest version of FFmpeg, too.

The important thing is they met their internal deadline to put it out here [sarcasm]. :grin:

I remember reading that it was coming back. Now I read here that it isn’t. Version 3.x just keeps getting more depressing as time goes on. How the mighty have fallen. Edit - Dev clarified.
