Iāve had that too. This is a problem that also exists on Photo AI. In fact it is because of this.
If you minimize the window in the taskbar and then make the window visible again in full screen, the small icon in the center will look like this:
Therefore, I had to manually take the sides of the window to adjust to the edge of my screen in order to have it full screen. This bug exists since the very first version of Video AI and Photo AI. The problem is not there on 2.6.4 and the other Topaz softwares.
With noise like that, use Neat Video, before running through Topaz. However, Neat Video does have a learning curve to create the best noise profiles which require manual settings and trial and error. But, itās a very powerful application (or plugin) to remove noise.
I upscaled all 172 episodes 3 different times, with each iteration a little better than before, except for the floating āQā spots, which never went away. Starting with Voyager season 3, when CGI became the thing, it got even better. My first attempt was PAL, but results were horrible as compared to NTSC. I had high hopes for TVAI v3, but it didnāt last long. Results were far worse than VEAI v1, so I closed it up and let my license expire. I simply refuse to pay good money, just to be a beta tester. When the vast majority of conversation in this forum moves away from program problems and troubleshooting this-n-that, to something that looks like a viable software product, will be the day I fork over the cash.
Like a lot of people, I was convinced that upscaling video using AI would produce content that looked like it was originally mastered in much higher resolutions, but it was all āhype.ā I think AI is many years away, if not decades away from producing results from ordinary SD video to something that looks like it was originally mastered in 4K, or even higher. Studios like Paramount and others would have jumped all over this technology, if it wasnāt so gimmicky.
AI made Voyager look a little better, but nothing like content originally mastered in 4K.
Thanks for the advice, but I donāt have many noisy videos to buy a special program additionally. Maybe there are some free programs that remove noise? CapCut, DaVinci
I upgraded to the latest version, but every time I load a video file in it, adjust my settings, and press preview, all it does is sit there telling me that itās downloading a model. Iāve been using Topaz software for years and have never had this issue, especially since I have all the models downloaded already. If the app was indeed downloading a new model, it would be nice to have an indicator showing how much has been downloaded and how much remains since I let my computer sit overnight for 12-13 hours and it still says itās downloading a model. If Topaz Video AI have some sort of indicator when updating/downloading a model, it would be easier to determine if this is indeed the case. Last night, I would have been able to tell the status indicator wasnāt moving, but instead I had to let the software run overnight only to come back to the same screen 12-13 hours later. Now I know thereās a bug in the software, but it would have been nice to determine this in less than 12-13 hours.
I was hoping this update fixed the GPU rendering issues, but now I guess I need to roll back 2 versions to get it running correctly.
Iām currently running an 11th Gen Intel i9-11900KF at 5.3Ghz, 64GB RAM, an Nvidia 3080Ti, and Windows 11.
There are many programs, but the problem is you lose detail and texture. Other than Neat Video, the best free alternative is Avisynth or Vapoursynth, but if you donāt know those it will take time to research and learn.
Not for me, Iāve tried it. Itās not awful, but when you fine tune Neat Video, it gets rid of noise while leaving everything else pretty much intact.
Color correction/grading is something different. Apples and oranges.
Behold, we all constantly scold the program, and within the Milky Way galaxy, there is no better. Maybe thereās something better about the Andromeda Nebula, but how do you get the code from there???
I am aware of that workaround as well, but I want to understand from Topaz themselves what changed and why. Is it a bug? Is it intentional and if so why?
Iām running at 13900k and 4090.
In recent versions complete
Starting at the same time may cause the PC to shut down due to too much load.
Basically I think the current 3.2.xx should not run in parallel
