Wow. Something is going badly wrong with this version! When I did a few tests on my Mac Studio Ultra and quit TVAI I noticed that the application size had shot up to 11GB!!! Deleted! ---

The avfilter-8.dll gets blocked from Windows Smart App Control too. Cant use the App as normal cause too many dlls get blocked. ---

This version keeps crashing 6/10 times, when doing Preview before Export starts. Reverted to v3.1.7.b now. ---

Did few previews in 3.1.7 and 3.1.8.2.a and I dont see any improvement in speed, on contrary, few percent slower using 3.1.8.2.a Nvidia GTX 1070 I cant attach logs here. if needed I can upload to your dropbox folder, otherwise I take it its enough. Are there some specific in which the new alpha should be faster? ![TVAI3.1.7 -- Nvidia GTX 1070](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/4/b/4b76043a9ef0df6256492317d4d87aa8aa6a5724.jpeg) ![TVAI3.1.8.2.a -- Nvidia GTX 1070](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/c/1/c117d47157387289426f5c456ce0d20593edbb68.jpeg) ---

Hi, I went yesterday from Monterey to Ventura and since Video AI systematically crashes after a few minutes of transcoding a video in deinterlacing and upscale mode (1080 to 4096). The same video with the same settings was no problem under Monterey. The problem is the same with the beta 3.1.8.0b than the public 3.1.8. ---

Can you try a clean install, delete the app and drag n drop from the dmg. If it still doesn’t work, send me the logs. ---

Hi Suraj, The clean install has always the problem. Here are the logs since yesterday (before and after the clean install).

Unfortunately, this is the issue everyone with a Mac Pro on Ventura is having. Processing failures, system crashes or random restarts. Apple is looking into it. ---

Seems like Apple will have to fix the GPU driver memory leak. This time it got to 3k frames, i would recommend doing 3000 frames at a time for now. Try reducing the memory slider to the lowest setting, it might allow you to process 10-20k frames at a time. ---
