Hi All, Here is an early version of app that should improve performance for all machines. The degree of performance increase will vary. This version should also allow for better support running multiple filters and multiple processes. Please let us know if you have any issues using the app. Download: [Win](https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazVideoAIAlpha/3.2.0.3.a/TopazVideoAIAlpha-3.2.0.3.a.msi) | [Mac](https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazVideoAIAlpha/3.2.0.3.a/TopazVideoAIALPHA-3.2.0.3.a.dmg) | [Mac Update](https://downloads.topazlabs.com/deploy/TopazVideoAIAlpha/3.2.0.3.a/TopazVideoAIALPHA-3.2.0.3.a.pkg) Please upload problem videos and logs here: [Submit Files](https://www.dropbox.com/request/hxLNzpT1g3nsCHG4iM2E) **Changes from 3.2.0.2.a** - Proteus Auto/Estimate works now - Running single process should be faster for non RTX GPUs (Max Processes = 1) - GUI updates from 3.1.9 and beyond Thank you for testing PS: Since this is an alpha version, it will not interfere with Beta or Release versions on the machine. ---

Looks like the ‘grey interpolated frames’ issue is still present. Known issue on the dev side of things? All interpolated frames come out like this: ![image](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/7/3/73f6e3e60d4fec7cb50c893acec5cd519a34cd50.png) ---

Is this only happening in the alpha or the release version as well? ---

Only in the alpha (is in the previous alpha and possibly earlier too). ---

Was first reported here: > [@Topaz Video AI Performance Alpha for Windows Nvidia & AMD GPUs](https://community.topazlabs.com/t/topaz-video-ai-performance-alpha-for-windows-nvidia-amd-gpus/40961/20): > > With 360p → 720p (that destroyed D&D cartoon FTW!) I see quite an increase, from around ~34fps in latest v3.1.7 stable, to ~45fps in this alpha. That’s on RTX 3090, 100% memory set, on i9 7940X CPU (fairly old one) and 64GB of RAM.

Only in two previous alpha versions, so far. Testing with 3.2.0.3.a now. Edit: This alpha has the issue as well. ---

I’m finding it hard to keep up with all these Alpha and Beta releases that I’m not sure which one is the best for doing certain tasks I want to complete? I guess the idea is to try something on both and then decide which is better, therefore instead of doing an entire video of (say) 30 minutes, just take a five minute segment and test it on each. Keep up the wonderful work! ---

Stick with the release versions if you actually need consistent results, the point of the Alphas and Betas is to test early features and find bugs, if any. Not recommended to use as your daily driver. ---

“Auto” vs “Manual”. “Calculating parameters for each frame” vs “fixed parameters set by the user”. The extra calculations will have additional performance penalty. ---

We know that the parameters change over time based on the video content with “Auto”. So there must be some frame analysis calculations occuring. Otherwise what’s the point of “Auto”? ---
