still having issues with ios portrait videos, the preview does not match the rotated original.
I could not find any relevant performance difference between v.3 and v.4, v.4 works fine for me.
Is it just me, or is TVAI 4.0 dropping subtitles?
Great new update, guys. Thanks. Love all the regular updates.
Best wishes from the UK.

To temporary solve the not working live preview, you can go in the settings and change the temporary directory folder from c:*** to . (yes a dot). With these settings the temporary file will be in the same directory of the original file and you can open it during the process with a simple vlc or mpc-be (or whatever software you use as media player).

I think interface is fine. It should not be 1 click interface. At least it works more stable now. And looks neater

After starting to process the preview, I clicked play and it played what had been processed of the video. I have been able to do that every time. Trying to play the same section again after the first play has mixed results even after the preview processing is complete. One time, it crashed the program without an error message or anything. It just closed without warning.

There was some update in TVAI 3 that made it so the output could have more than just the main audio track, but I donât think anyone ever mentioned subtitles making it or not. Lots of people on these forums use mov and mp4 containers that, I think, donât support subtitles.
Personally, I need to process the audio with other programs so I always add it back into the final video along with any subtitles and chapters with MKVToolNix.
I dont mind setting in and out points if im previewing a specific amount of time, but i prefer the old preview method where it will automatically only loop the section i previewed. Setting these in and out points manually EVERY time i want to preview something is complicated and time consuming. I would say at the very least, implement a feature to just select our finished preview in the list in the bottom of âpreviewsâ and only play that preview in a loop, while also maintaining the ability to view side by side, split, etc. Furthermore i just sat the in and out points and it doesnt loop that section, it just plays it then continues on with the rest of the video file

The New interface crashed like in the old versions 2.6 or 3.1 it finishes the conversion but I have whole batch I am definetely back to 3.5.0 and so far have not the issue
New users will not be so happy and will not know there was a version that was difficult but easy to understand
In the past we had a clear temp file and I could play this and specify a folder that could be on a nas
I could then choose the same file and that would have a different name in the temp file on my nas
I then played in from my nas on my TV and see multiple results in real but a lot has changed to minimize diskspace and converion time by eliminating some steps that were really handy for me.
I think despite 4.0 uses mor resources it is around 15 percent slower with conversion
Looking back at all the comments in the TVAI 3.0.0 releaseâand quite a few of the following releasesâyou would think there would only be praise for the new user interface changes. For sure, no one would ever say they like TVAI 3 better than anything else.

Add Grain is working for meâŠrunning Iris MQ now
Are you reading the comments? I donât think the overall sentiment is that people hate the way itâs supposed to work just the stuff that obviously doesnâtâŠ
That sounds like it kinda sucks to use to me. Moreover I think the biggest problem is that they chose to create more issues with a new UI rather than fix things everybodyâs been waiting forever for them to fix. People are starting to resent TVAI for these choices. If it didnât provide such a useful service (when it works) most people would have dumped it by now. This is a bad place for Topaz to be with this product.
Major difference is V2 generally worked pretty well. V3 added nice features but caused alot of issues that were slow to be fixed and in some cases never got fixed but people assumed they would be fixed. V3 also never re-implemented alot of things people have been waiting for. Now V4 sits on top of a version that already had many issues.

Upscaling 480p to 1080p is now taking almost 3x as long as previous version with Iris V2. I was getting 6-7fps on 3.5.4 and now getting between 2-3fps. Previously processing a 45 min clip at about 2hr 45 min, now Iâm getting over 7 hours??? 
Same, horrible downgradeâŠ
