This version is not opening any video file. I put the log files to the drop box. I got back to the beta 3.2.3.0.b for now. :eyes:

Here are some issues I noticed:

  • The log files on Windows are empty.

  • I can’t import a video on either macOS or Windows.

The issue seems to related to changes made to the model manager in some way. This is the end of the logs from my mac:

This is the only difference between a successful load in 3.2.3 and the unsuccessful 3.2.4.0.b

As with the above posters, this beta won’t open any video file through the import dialog or via drag and drop. The logs are empty files. The benchmark does seem to run normally.

OS: Windows v10.2009
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor 15.939 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 5.9014 GB

Well I think I will pass on testing this one then LOL

@xuan.liu Auto-Upgraded to 3.2.4.0.b and now am unable to open any videos. I’ll try deleting preferences, but this is the first upgrade that has happened with. Traditionally on the Mac use of dragging a group of videos onto the the interface window worked.

Please double check.

11

Wish I had read this before pressing the Upgrade button in the app. Years of never letting internal updates, and here I go and break my workflow. The auto-update should be pulled, something is wrong for sure.

You can downgrade to older versions of Topaz Video Enhance AI. Just download the version you want from the list of stable releases, or beta/alpha releases and install it.

Thank you, yes I can, but the 6GB of models is difficult to move, now that it is stored within the app package. I should change where they are stored so that I prevent the need to redownload them. Small gripe, appreciate the feedback though.

With this new beta version, i can’t import any video… nothing appens!

This is embarrassing.
The issue should be fixed now.

" A new quality enhancement model that gives more natural results with faces." is this what Proteus V4 is intended to be when it is release ready? So I know how to judge it

18

Preview of iphone videos taken in portrait are correctly rotated, but the original video (not the enhanced) is being stretch widened to presumable standard aspect ratio. The enhanced video is both correctly rotated and correctly not widened. Original looks like [ ] and enhanced looks like when both should be .

It’s really hard/impossible to change from Proteus v3 to any other version of Proteus when the “Enable Previous Model Versions” option is enabled.

This only seems to impact Proteus. Other AI models are fine when you change them.

I have uploaded a video demonstrating the issue to the dropbox.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

  1. Ensure Enable Previous Model Versions is enabled in the settings.
  2. Import a video.
  3. Enable the Enhancement filter.
  4. Change the AI model to a version of Proteus that isn’t Proteus v3.
  5. Interact with basically any part of the UI. The AI model will switch back to v3. Along with that, all the exports and previews will be with Proteus v3.

Note: The “Parameters” setting needs to be on Auto for this bug to occur.

20

As a workaround enable “relative to auto” mode. :slight_smile:

These new versions seem to be utilizing the CPU at 100% (even though GPU is selected in the settings) and causing crashes/freezes.

When I change the affinity of the process in task manager to use less cores it solves the problem.

Never had this issue until a couple updates ago.

I have an i5-10600k and an RTX 4070 Ti
GPU is selected in the settings and I’ve also tried limiting the max usage percentage.
