If implemented well, it shouldn’t affect the audio sync at all as it’s frame replacement not frame removal or addition.
Has anyone tried this new feature yet? Oddly though I’ve had plenty of videos in the past that should benefit from dup frame replacement, I can’t put my hands on one to try at the moment!
How many duplicated frames are actually replaced with AI? Most of anime movies/series can have even 5 duplicated frames and I checked that only first one or two are replaced and rest stays there, Do I have to run it few times to remove all duplicated frames?
Topaz staff, one question: why have you still not updated the Gaia model to at least v6 in the newer versions of TVAI, since this version of the model has existed for more than a year now?
When I saw how Topaz makes video in 4K, 60fps, I lost my peace. Now I can’t imagine how you can watch videos less than 60fps. I fell in love with high fps videos. I have many hundreds of music videos in good quality in my collection. I gradually overtake them in 4K, 120fps. It turns out, the unbelievable effect of presence …
The program works properly, but faced with one problem. All content is high quality, HD or 4K. When the camera moves in the clip, everything is fine with people, but in the background, against the background of homogeneous structures, trees, rocks, sand, falling rain, snow, incredible noise appears. I’ve used Chronos and Chronos fast, but they don’t work. Apollo seems to work better, but it’s also not perfect.
Who faced similar problems? There is a solution?
Nice try…Mac version still doesn’t work. Details have been uploaded to the dropbox.
BTW, I didn’t set anything optional as “0”
Error message as follows…

Update: The app can’t create the needed “xg” folder under /private/var/folders even with “full disk access”. I had to create it manually and the preview ran.
same issue here close upon finish should be an option
i have same issue w apollo
Your situation is that the quality of the source video is too low and requires frame repair, that is, one frame of image, one frame of image repair. It is a complex and long process.
The quality of the recent model has decreased, you can try an older version, or go straight to 2.6.4.
With the latest two releases I’ve been getting 10+ fps but lately dropped down to 4fps. Does anyone else have this problem? By the way I’m using Mac M1 Pro, 32gb Ram. Not sure but ‘replace duplicate frames’ is chosen so that might add to the time constraint?
I have noticed patches of background flickering sometimes when using Chronos, usually when the camera pans. I think the model needs further training to fix this.
Wish it was possible to load old models into version 3.x. That would give us more flexibility and the best of two worlds; quality and speed.
In v3.1.4 I am getting an error message when converting frame rates from 25 to 23.976 - I have had to revert to an older version v3.1.1. and now the same settings work fine.
It was fine when previewing any frame, it only happened when exporting.

Question for advanced users: Has anyone edited the model json files to allow older AI model files to be used? It was easy to do up to VEAI version 2.3.x., but not sure if it’s possible now.
Is it true. Chronos ruined all my clips. Two months wasted in vain. Now I’m trying Apollo. Made 3 clips. Looks like no artifacts
Well now I’ve found a batch of videos that were recorded at 30 fps from a PAL 25fps source - and they contain many duplicates throughout, of exactly the kind that should be removeable by TVAI.
Unfortunately, I am still evaluating version 3.1 and it cannot be tested due to the large and flickering Topaz watermark - it seems to be added before the duplicate removals and if so, obviously prevents many of the duplicates being seen by the software as duplicates so many of them remain. Second runs aren’t possible of course. Either that, or duplicate removal doesn’t work properly.
This could have been the feature that persuaded me to renew/upgrade but I’m not willing to guess, so I won’t. Topaz seriously should stop that watermark from flickering, or add it after all other processing, otherwise the trial cannot be used for the purpose it is intended: evaluation of the software.
Looking at the fact that sometimes there are problems, I ask the developers to pay special attention to the good work of upscaling and converting to 4k, 120 fps! I overtake any video, DVD, HD in 4k, 120 fps.
It takes a very long time, a clip of 4 minutes is processed for 3 hours. But the result is above all expectations. Fabulous. Fantastic…
LOL Thanks very much Marty. : )
