Topaz Video AI Beta 7.0.0.3.b (Starlight mini)

Thanks. I assumed there was some logic behind the odd size output and Starlight could only do specific resolutions so if we knew that logic we could plan accordingly.

Re “an error occured” I had a similar error when I installed beta 3 and uninstalled it, then reinstalled (which included downloading the 6GB starlight mini model) and then it started working again.

I cannot get the program to export at the correct original 768 x 576 (PAL) resolution.
It defaults to 1280 x 960 no matter what settings I change. This glitch is using valuable machine resources. I would rather export at native resolution and then up-res later. Can you please fix this in the next version?

The idea is brilliant, I second that proposition. Forge UI did that in the field of AI image generation. There was a slider where you could set the amount of VRAM you wanted the AI model to use, and to eventually partially offload to CPU if your graphic card wasn’t powerful enough to handle the whole model and adds (like vae, text encoder etc.) by itself.

Dear developers, please answer.
For Starlight-min I use version 7.0.0.1b because other
versions crash at the model loading stage. I have two GPUs installed, but when selecting any of them in the program settings,
rendering goes through one and also the GPU selected by someone. With other
models, the choice works.
I have a question - is this a temporary defect or was this done on purpose. Or maybe it’s just me.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
P.S. The Starlight-min model exactly matches its name - it’s SPACE, thank you. I extended my license for it.

I would love to grab a copy of beta 7003 with starlight mini;
i have an older license of video ai and would be willing to upgrade again as i have a M1 MacBook Pro. i’ve tried to download the recent beta but all it does is crash

  1. Seems like it throws errors with portrait rotated iphone video
  2. Will selecting a smaller time range for testing be added? Like if we want to test it on a 10 second piece of the video without doing an separate clip first?

I tried 640x480, as mentioned by Mayday, and it did do 1920x1440 - HD width with a 4x3 picture - which is what I want. In a quick test though I get better results using the original and making a clip with is 2304 wide, and then downscaling the result in Topaz to 1920, than downscaling to 640 first and then using Starlight.

Will it ever be possible to fix footage at the same resolution? For example, there are some videos at 720p or 1080p that may have dust and scratches or some kind of weird effect on them. This is rare but it can happen. It would be awesome if this model could “fix” videos like this and output at the same resolution where upscaling is not necessary.
