Topaz Video AI v3.5.3

Wait what?

Enables ProRes, H264/5 and AV1 encoders for Linux.

Is there a Linux version? Please tell me there is!

The Linux version is currently in early beta stage!

It is for convenience. Many users don’t want to dig into FFMPEG because it is a command line tool. Topaz process video and audio separately. It is already doing muxing in the background. It is easy for them to add an option to mux with a different audio file.

Topaz Video AI was working well for me until I loaded the v3.5.3 update when prompted just now.

After the update, the model (Proteus Manual) took so long to load that I closed the program and restarted to try again.

This time the model loaded after about 5 minutes of waiting, and then it informed me that my 10 minute video (which would previously have taken 20 to 30 minutes to process) would be taking 19 hours to process.

Is there an easy way to go back to the previous version? This is a real impairment to my ability to process videos. I love the software when it works. Not so much when it introduces new problems or causes processing to bog down.

Just opened latest version and the option to scale by height/width has disappeared.

It’s still taken over the taskbar, has this Bug been added to the backlog for resolution?

Thanks for the update.
My issues with v3.5.1 and 3.5.2 (elongated videos and jumping to half of video and freezing) are gone.
I continue with latest version v3.5.3.

Thank you

Have noticed that when the source is low to medium quality VHS, when using IRIS LQ, even with all sliders set to ‘0’, facial features still look a bit monstrous. Of varying degrees.

I just wanted to praise the team for the great work they do on this software, understandably it isn’t perfect yet but saying something good won’t hurt.

I have been enjoying the results of the Nyx model, it works a dream on film grain and noise from old movies, I have tested it on Double Impact (1991) which is heavy on grain and occasional noise and does a fantastic job at removing it while keeping details without smoothing/blurring it. Thank you, keep up the good work and can’t wait for the 4.0 update.

Here are couple screenshots from 1080p to 4K.

Looks like the screenshots got compressed when uploaded as the quality looks nothing like the original which doesn’t do my comment justice as you can’t see the difference haha.

Not surprising. That is what the Iris model was made to focus on.

This is now fixed in the 3.5.4 update!
