Artemis LQ v13 causes flickering in this version.

ā€œAdd noiseā€ when used alone, is just adding noise. It isnā€™t self-subtracting the noise.
Isnā€™t it supposed to self-subtract the noise it adds?
Iā€™m trying not to use the ā€˜reduce noiseā€™ slider because it introduces horizontal artifacts and overemphasizes any faint horizontal features by adding false detail.

Since the preview synch was ā€˜improvedā€™ (I think since version 3.2.3), I often have problems with the preview being out of synch for 23.976fps based mkv files. Before the ā€˜improvementsā€™ I very rarely had a problem with it.

Is it possible to still have two versions of Video AI running concurrently? I have one exporting on one version and opened the latest version (3.2.4) and I canā€™t drag and drop or browse and select. Nothing will load into the interface.

yes that is possible

Must be a glitch with my download. Finished processing on previous version so now 3.2.4 is only running (well I say that??) and still nothing will load in. Oh well Iā€™ll just wait another 5 days for an update.

Hi, regarding your questions> I donā€™t use external drive. It happens to drag in files and via the in app window. Files are basic mov. ones and already converted videosā€¦both have been accepted before. I will try to install the latest version as you guided meā€¦but first off I have to let the older version to work on some vids ā€¦before I might run into the existing problem perhaps never lessā€¦again. :smiley:

great to see, you are trying to fix it at some point. cheers. :v:

3.2.4 wonā€™t open videos for me. Iā€™ve tried restarting, trying different clips.
Specs:
Mac OS Monterey 12.5
Mac Studio
Apple M1 Max
Memory 32GB

Very strange issue. I got the same equipment and VAI version and everything is ok.

The only difference is MacOS: my Studio M1Max is updated whit the last Ventura 13.3.1(a).

I believe what youā€™re seeing is a known issue with the latest version of the app that our developers are currently working on patching. For now, you can follow these steps to restore app functionality:

  1. Uninstall Topaz Video AI
  2. Delete the appā€™s .plist files - How To Delete Your Plist Files
  3. Reboot your Mac
  4. Reinstall

I wish I could change the output resolution to 16:9 21:9

123

Does this not enable you to do that?

(Iā€™ve never tried it because my TV screen is in 16:9 aspect ratio, and Iā€™ve seen too many stretched movies in my life to not output to 16 by 9.)

ive had this issue too. sometimes can make the otherwise great file pretty unusable.

For some time, Chronos has been creating 1-2 (usually 2) distorted frames at jump cuts in the original material. The distortions are hazy fisheye bending of the picture and even at 60p itā€™s visible and unsettling to view. Can Chronos be fixed, please? Itā€™s the only option that really provides great smooth frame interpolationā€¦but the cost is hours of tedious editing to fix it!
Maybe just have it cut out at hard edits and duplicate the last frame before the jump and the first frame after? In the end it would look perfectly fine because your brain wonā€™t register those two middle frames being duplicated around a jump cut. ā€¦I know because thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing to fix it.

I am trying to uprez an entire tv series. Is there not a way to save a preset once I have made all the settings? I would like a certain flavor of ProRes, enhancement, grain, etc and I have to custom set everything for multiple shows. If it doesnā€™t exist, there should be a way to save user settings, not just access Topaz presets. Enhancement is locked on a 2x uprez. Iā€™d love to be able to scale back some enhancement as I find itā€™s too strong sometimes. Thanks

Just click the + as shown below
