I am installing from the plugin in TVAI6.0.2.1b windows, but the Fixed Davinci Resolve Frame Interpolation plugin is not installed.
Davinci Resolve studio 19.1.2 crashes and cannot be started.

If you select to install the plug-in from the TVAI 6.0.2.1b installer, the Davinci Resolve Frame Interpolation plug-in will be installed and Davinci Resolve studio 19.1.2 will launch normally.

Davinci Resolve studio 19.1.2 says the plugin has been loaded, but the beta plugin does not appear in the effects.

@tony.topazlabs Will this “Constant Frame Rate” thing ever be finally resolved? for me it should be the “standard” of conversion… eventually you could give the choice for VFR, and not the other way around!

What does that mean exactly?

It’s High Luminance Grading, a kinda automated HDR (sans the artist’s manual intervention). I use it often for my SDR->HDR upscaling + conversions.

Okay, my question wasn’t clearly formulated. I know what HLG is; what I actually meant with my question was: what is the advantage or difference of HLG compared to the old system?

11

The cynic in me will say: because they couldn’t get SDR->HDR done properly with their alleged ‘Ai’, so they decided to revert to a rather old, cheapish hard-coded way to doing pseudo-HDR (it’s just a series of LUT transformations).

My license has expired now. So none of this matters to me any more. Maybe next year.

So the keyboard short cuts kind of work. If you go more than about 4 steps, it stops going by 5 and does a little more or less. This results in not being able to get back to 100% with the keyboard.

13

The window still opens below the taskbar.

14

Using the scroll wheel to zoom the time line still zooms too much on the first step. It also does not always zoom to the marker position.

Upscaling with Proteus, having ‘Recover Detail’ set to the default of 20, makes the motion jumpy. Setting it to 0 corrects the jumpy motion.

16

Very interesting note, thanks. When you say motion jumpy, would you describe it as ‘rubber-banding’ of people/objects moving across frames, or inconsistent frame duplication causing stutter during playback?

17

@meimeiriver this was actually a request for HLG support in addition to the existing default PQ transfer function. Previous behavior of SDR → HDR remains when using the default PQ option, but teams with HLG workflows can now skip some metadata editing.

18

Motion regresses by one frame about every 3 to 5 frames.

This beta still has TEMP wipe bug. Or is it a ‘feature’? Dangerous! :slight_smile:

Do you mean that the temporary folder of previews is deleted automatically?
