Until there’s parity between PC and Mac platforms, Mac users should receive free cloud processing. ---

In the past you used to have a Dropbox link for sharing videos. Is that still avaliable? If so, can you share the link and I can share the video. Otherwise I can upload it to my Google drive ---

Tried to export a very short clip with Starlight Mini. It said “Loading Model” in the export queue for a few minutes (2-3 mins) before giving an error message. I do see my system RAM going from about 16 GB to 23 GB. But my VRAM did not move, nor did GPU utilization.

I have used the cloud free preview of starlight and as I was waiting for it to start I wanted to do something else in topaz video. At some point I clicked on the “project” breadcrumbs word at top left corner and suddenly I couldn’t get back to my session with opened video and more over with processing starlight preview. When I opened another default project and added another video, I could see that I used 1 out of 3 weekly previews in cloud. The question is, how does it work with projects if I didn’t start one? Second Question is about unlisted shareable links for the previews? Because I didn’t get any email with the link and the session I was in closed when clicked on “project” word at top left corner. Clearly the preview was done or at least deducted from my weekly allowance. ![Projects_defaults_gone](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/4/e/4ebf72016d3264d309aa8210087043088f3ad8c6.jpeg) ---

where in the GUI do I see the length of the selection marked with “mark in” and “mark out” markers? Am I blind or it just doesn’t show? I wanted to have exactly 10 seconds selection but it seems rather tedious to set this exact. ![Length of selection](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/9/e/9e0c5c2e4fa1bbad4ab2885dd18bd1c1b0bf935c.png) ---

I tested this beta version and recognize so far no improvements IN MY CASE to the official 7 version. Render times are always low at 0,3-0,4 frames per second on 720x576 MiniDV/S-VHS footage. Grafic card = RTX 4070 on Windows 11 with 64gb Ram. Live Preview doesn’t work. So I have to render hours and hours to see the results. A new bug on start rending with a direct error warning. My workaround is to set the output size for e.g. 720x576 with factor 2. Then the output render works. ---

Could you share a little bit more about what is being shared with [amplitude.com](http://amplitude.com) (on macOS) ? I detected it with 7.0.0.4b but have skipped a few versions since the original v7. Willing to help you guys for marketing activities but would like to know first. Thanks. ---

Following yesterday’s test, the Topaz process unexpectedly terminated. When i wake up, I discovered the PC had automatically restarted, interrupting a 13-hour processing task. This is concerning as it resulted in the loss of all previously generated data. ---

After several tests with Starlight Mini my feeling is, that it is not really usable in practice, cause the render times are too long. To render a sequenze of some seconds of video footage takes already hours, cause it renders always with 0,3 fps max 0,4 fps. The input and output size doesn’t matter; I don’t see a difference. I tried to render now a 40 minute DV video. I stopped it now, cause the render time was shown with more than 2 days. I hope, that the Topaz team find a way to improve the render times, cause the results of some seconds of several videos are really impressive. ---
