Actually, the GPU doesn’t run application code.The CPU does that. The TVAI application runs as an application written in program code appropriate for that machine’s OS, (Windows or Mac,)
If TVAI needs to use the use the GPU for any kind of processing, it does so by using the drivers appropriate for that device. Bottom line: The GPU doesn’t do all the work. TVAI uses the CPU for the application itself. It uses the capabilities of the GPU for creating images and leverages any additional capabilities the GPU may provide, such as augmenting AI and decoding/encoding video.
A lot of that depends on the GPU’s capabilities. If not, the application does it the ‘hard’ way using the CPU and its math coprocessor. - Depending on what operations you’re doing, they will do the job. -But it’s sort of like watching grass grow.
Or, if slower than that: maybe not in your life time.
As you can see bottom field (right one) is just sharpened and top field is different (artifact lines appears near steps).
So looks like top field is reconstructed by network. But it’s done wrong.
And strange thing is that next frame in output is same.
Top field with artifacts and bottom is just sharpened.
As I understand Dione should take original frame and in output make 2:
Top field from original and bottom reconstructed.
Bottom field from original and top field reconstructed.
But it is not so.
And my opinion is that Deinterlace networks should not denoise/sharpen/enlarge. Just deinterlace.
And we need ability to chain its processing with enlargement networks like artemis.
I and many others have had this problem where TVAI outputs variations on that grid pattern. Yes, very frustrating, as it won’t occur during Preview but will occur in the Export. Sometimes, I’ve seen it occur only in portions of an Export, where it will morph from a viewable video into a grid pattern for awhile, then return back to a viewable video. It’s made some video sources totally non processable in TVAI.
I have been away from my video editing system for a while. After reading several or the reviews in this thread, I think I’ll pass on installing TVAI v3.0.11 until they fix a few problems. And that goes for the new v3.1.0.b beta, as well.
I can not install the Video AI 3.0.11 on my Windows 10. The error message: "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\ProgramData \Topaz Labs LLC \Topaz Video AI. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator. "
I’m the Admin, there is enough space and all other Topaz tools can be installed and have been running for several months…
I tried to install to another folder, but it always mentions the same error with this default path!
I even created a new Admin account, but it does not work to get Video AI installed…
