Topaz Video AI: Generating Previews - No Progress or History

After the recent update from 5.X to 6.0.0, I can no longer see the in progress or prior rendered previews list. There also doesn’t appear to be an option to re-enable this function anywhere?

This was very useful when playing with settings, generating various previews and then easily switching between to view before selecting the one for the final export.

If we can please have this back? Thanks.

In the updated version, the “Processing” popup is now shown directly on the preview, replacing the elapsed and remaining time indicators. Although this change creates a cleaner interface, I’ve shared your input with our team to keep in mind for future improvements.

I have the same issue… a preview queue like it was before v6.0 was way better …

Now you can only run one preview at a time …and if you open new tab and start a preview in a 2nd tab, it immediately stops the currently running preview. So there is no way to even have anything queued. Unless you have it hidden somewhere?

And clicking each tab especially if you have like 10 tabs … and then have to click each of the 10 tabs separately to see if the preview has stopped or is running, is very annoying… and requires more clicks in your new UI. This makes the workflow for the most important part of using your software which is the previews less productive and less organized with multiple clicks all over the place.

Instead of just seeing a preview queue list and at one glance know all the previews that are queued or running.

Please add the Preview Queue List back for your future improvements. Thank You.

For me, the missing history is a dramatic loss in usability. Having to generate a new tab after every try just to be able to come back to an old setting is a real drop in GUI efficiency.

I often experiment around for 2-3 hours (sometimes even much longer) before finding a good method and parameter set before I render one film, so dropping down even further with the usability makes me think of looking for a better product.

VideoAI is cruelly bad when the input is not high-quality HD material: De-noising HD and HD-4K conversion appears to be the only really optimized work for this software. My typical input comes from DVDs made from old cinema films, and with that kind of input it takes lots of optimizing parameters to get a good result.
