Topaz Video AI v3.0.0

How big is the speed advantage? Did you test that?

there is no speed adventage.

itā€™s for the rooky user. itā€™s just set a software to what they call the best optimised setting, but usualy people know them already, there is only Vram to adjust in video Ai and the cpu/gpu.

they do it for games too, and rarely i follow what the optimisation does. itā€™s depend of people and the gear you have. but it can be a good start.

Specs:

5950x and RTX 3080.

Settings:

  • 1080p 23.976 FPS ā†’ 4K
  • Progressive
  • Auto-Proteus
  • H265 10

Iā€™m getting 1.6 FPS, idk if this is rightā€¦ but it seems excessively slow for a 2 minute videoā€¦

You should be able to use the nvinfer.dll installed with the actual application just fine. You might be able to get away with one from the latest version of TensorRT, but the TRT models are extremely version-specific, so itā€™d be best to use the one shipped with the app.

Sorry about it being missing! An updated redistributable download with the missing file will be uploaded shortly

Michael,
If you need to do more than close the VEAI application to delete those files, then something needs to be fixed in the Mac version. Closing the application should release them. - There is only one exception I know of. In Windows, having the file or folder open in two or more file browser windows can sometimes prevent deletion.

In any case, I donā€™t think it should be necessary to reboot.

2.3 was the last version that users could edit json files.

That was removed in all subsequent versions. If you see json files anywhere in a version after 2.3, they are vestigial and donā€™t do anything.

A big loss for users, so much so that there are users who havenā€™t moved beyond 2.3.

Editable json files were said to be coming back by a developer who left, so we will likely never see this ability again.

Just started trying out this new version. Having repeated GUI dropouts when exporting.
Windows 11 all latest updates
Ryzen 5900x
Nvidia RTX 3070
32GB DDR4 3200 Ram
Seems to work fine for previews and such but after starting a long export then minimizing the GUI and returning later to check on the remaining time the GUI is gone. Icon is still in the taskbar and the program is still running in Task Manager. It will finish the export but the GUI never returns. reboot and running repair from the install package does not fix it. Only complete reinstall will bring back the GUI until the next time.

Thats because someone made the window transparent and your clicking the window behind it, which is the load video for your projectā€¦ its basically a very jr. error. so many bugs, so many issues stack up in version 3.0 its frustrating. regret installing it. I had had 7hours of video I wanted to process with stabilize and it failed on 3 of the 4 files. VERY frustrating version, not something they should have let out of the beta (and Iam reading people in the beta pointed out many of these issues and they still released this 3.0 version anyway).

I am so disappointed now, and I will have to go back to 2.64 if they cant get a decent update out for 3.0

It would be really nice if you could at least use the CPU for soemthings in addition to the GPU; not sure how you would slice up that work but there must be a way to something with that CPU while the GPU does some work; and maybe if you have like 10 tasks, it will take the smallest of the 10 and use the GPU automatics for it if it thinks it can finish around the same time as the GPU running the other 9 tasksā€¦

or break the task into a bunch of 5 min chunks, and have the GPU handle some chucks of work and they can stick the video back together as one file at the end - what ever it is, something can be done with that spare CPU timeā€¦

Itā€™s definitely an amateur production now.

A new version is now available.

@detective.masterclas @stever.robbins You can use the Start & End Trim Position buttons in the Edit menu to select the start and end using the playhead.

Hi! For certain models, there are multiple models that get downloaded and so there are multiple downloading/loading messages.
