Im going to uninstall and do a fresh install but i noticed that im getting very high cpu usage in this version, my gpu is working normally, hitting 95% or so. But with 3.1.4 im getting higher CPU usage than I was in 3.1.2. Anyone else?
When you say face recovery, recovery from what? Something must be there to recover, otherwise thereās nothing recover. Until TVAI is capable of using its artificial intelligence to create the missing elements in the original, then all you end up with is an enlarged version of the same thing. It may ascetically look a little better than the original, but itās nothing like content originally captured at higher resolutions. This is why Iāve opted out of upgrading, because I think TVAI has hit a brick-wall, technologically speaking.
People are asking to implement something like GFPGAN.
Itās gonna be one heck of a job to implement.
Also the speed will be very very low.

As the number of filters and models have increased, itās becoming more difficult to find the ārightā combination for a particular video. What would be great would be an option to do a one-frame preview that auto-updates as you change sliders or enable/disable filters.

Could be nice, but I find running about 5 previews then swapping through them at the same frame helps more. That way I can see if things have started to regress with the changes Iāve been making.

I have been wanting this for awhile, real time feedback as you adjust sliders would be a game changer.

Hi gregory, iāve uninstalled twice and reinstalled but 3.1.4 is sending my CPU to 100% usage during preview and export. iāve tested different encoding settings and its the same across the board. This wasnt happening in 3.1.2. I double checked that my GPU was being set to the main processor
try the support , here itās more a community forum, the devs are not often here :

I changed 3.0.12 for 3.1.4.
Speed is amazing ā less than half previously time (Proteus, zoom x1, RTX 3050).
Butā¦ Video Export with Preview still donāt work.

Hey there,
the notification āUpdating from 3.0-3.1 requires an active upgrade license. Please check you account before continuingā
Does that mean that people with only 3.0 will have to pay for an upgraded license?
(Iāve been using 3.1.1 for a while)
Thanks in advance : )
does your licence is valid ? look at your account and look at the date of your licence. if the licence is valid, then you can update, if itās not valid, it will need to be renewed to get the last version, as told by the message 
First of all I appreciate the response. : )
To be honest, I didnāt know I HAD a license.
I have an invoice receipt from when I bought the program.
Thanks,
Wow, ok ā¦ seems that people buy 300$ software without reading what it is about 
(just kiding).
when did you bought it ? go into your account at the main website, not here, itās the community forum,
and at the āyour productsā page , you have the date of end of your licence.
the licence is valid during one full year from your date of purchase.
ā thatās mean that you own all the softwares and different version that have been released from your date of purchase until the end of it.
the licence allow you to own all the new version released during this time frame.
at the end of your yearly licence, if the software version is 3.1.3, well itās the last version youāll be allowed to own, and if you want the next one youāll have to purchase an upgrade licence.
if at the date of the 3.1.3 or 3.1.1, you still have 6 months until the end of your licence, then youāre allowed to upgrade, as said by the ad āone year of full upgradeā.

The current trimming dialoge is unusable.
No way to move the in and out markers frame by frame.
No buttons to set the current frame as in or out.
No display of the current timecode position when stepping through the video via arrow keys, so you have to write down your timecodes in the main window and enter them manually in the trimming dialogue.
@gregory.maddra am I missing here something? How is this intended to be used correctly?

yes, to have an acceptable trimming range, you must not click on the ātrimā button, itās there to move the both in and out cursor thatās all. look at the edit menu at the top of the software, youāll find the shortcut for a trim start and trim end. so on the timeline, move your cursor, with mouse or with the keyboard ( left and right) and use the shortcut to put the trim start point and trim start end. you can use the timecode as well by entering the number of it. just donāt do it on the ātrimmingā page.
i agree that the way to do it is not intuitive, but itās a workaround until a better way will be there.

Not sure if Nvidia AV1 encoding is always working depending on the video input
Thought of this myself, yes that would be great to see the results of your adjustments, using the sliders, in real time.
