first issue: did 2 previews of 10 seconds on different points, the software considered both previews as a single file and the 2 one would not play at all. will play the first preview as if it was the 2 preview.
actually it will preview over and over the same spot of the video. i am exporting a short video to see results. selected proteus and all values from the stimate pushed to 100. (just for testing purposes)
will edit/reply with results but its more broken than 4.0.5.1.b
edit:
now apparently the software is 0 seconds remaining processing over 4 figures frames per second?
i did not know i have a quantum server… way way broken like unusable build


edit 2:
finished the export at random, and ignored my proteus settings. exported the video untouched. totally broken unusable build. stopping testing since its a waste of time.

Something strange happens to the brightness of my desktop including the application. When I move the movie slider or the application window, the whole Windows desktop including the application window gets brighter. When I stop the movement it gets a bit darker again. If I just set the slider via left click to a different position it does not happen. :eyes:

I’ll second that!

Unfortunately, when I close a video file in Video AI, I can neither move nor delete it in Windows Explorer. I have to open another Video or close Video AI completely to do this. Unfortunately, this has always been the case. Is there a technical solution to this problem?

Terrifying : TVAI 4.0.6.b IRIS Auto invents faces

1 Like

Well, but this for sure is not specific to this Beta but a general problem with the Iris model.
Iā€˜d suggest to use Iris LQ and high Recover Original Details if 85 to diminish that effect.

Well, that does not solve the issue:

Then you’d have to use another model, for such extremely low quality sources e.g. Artemis.

BTW., why does it say 4K with that quality? Or did you do some 700% magnification here :joy:?

You missed my point: It is terrifyizng that TVAI IRIS invents any artificial details where there are none in the original just because AI interprets a shape detected in context of a person to be likely a human face.
Up to now we complained only about artifacts and deteriorated details enhanced by IRIS, but not about complete replacement by any AI generated face.
Off course Artemis or Proteus are the right answer in this case because they don’t invent details which are not there.

This behaviour can be seen since the introduction of Iris and also has often been criticised since then.

Also there IS a face in the original, not just some shape.
(Of course this does not mean that there’s no issue)

It has been recommended by me and others that Iris should just leave faces that are too small or of too low quality alone.

oh, and for the

Part:
Yes, they do - just not with faces which is why you don’t notice it as much. Besides it kinda is the task of the AI to insert some missing details otherwise you could just do a bicubic upscale.
And, of course the AI (I dont really like the term cause IMO there’s no real intelligence in there, just learned/programmed scenarios) sometimes gets things wrong.

TVAI 4060b crashes every time I quit the app. MBA M2, 64GB 2TB Ventura with all updates. Logs attached.

When you choose either Nyx V1 or Nyx V2 and attempt to set a Recover Detail value, the value resets to 0 or the previous value if you enter a value by typing the number directly. Additionally, if you attempt to save a preset for Nyx with a value set for Recover Detail it will reset to 0 or at least be presented as 0 when you load the preset.

@luke.roche Topaz Video AI Is Down Mixing or Striping to 2 Channels. A Dolby or Multi channel Video Source would be useless in this program. Channels would be lost .Program needs At least Spacial Audio for 2 channels .My Source file was 5.1 Multichannel. From Video AI now 2.AC3 still mixed down to 2 channels.
