My translator translates these two words the same way ((
I only know that it happens to keep the audio and video in synchronization. Iâm pretty sure it cuts only at key frames. I remember trying to cut at a scene change and could not get it to do it on the exact frame.
âDownloadingâ is transferring digital data from the internet onto a device.
âLoadingâ is the action of filling something, like a container.
Is the alpha build discussion thread locked for not beta testers? would love to know more about Proteus V4 otherwise
Yes, only for Beta testers.
If I want to run part of a video in TVAI, I cut a few seconds before and after what I want, then use an actual editor to do the close trim, color corrections, etc.
Probably not realistic to expect an upsizing and enhancement app to also be an editor. Iâd rather see the developers concentrate their efforts on fixing the issues in the core functions and improving the models.

Thatâs what Davinci Resolve is for
I agree completely.
Topaz should not try and recreate full video editor functionality. It just needs to get the video ready for the real editor, or upscale videos that come out of the real editor.
I agree as well. For me, the efforts Topaz put into stuff like colour/brightness correction, even stabilization really, is wasted and just reduces the amount of time they can spend improving and fixing bugs in the basics. Being a poor manâs jack of all trades isnât a good look.
Having said that, I can no longer find the colour or brightness options in 4.0.7 so if that means theyâve permanently been removed, thatâs great. Dedicated video editors are for that kind of stuff and TVAI will NEVER match them.

The Topaz servers seem only to be able to handle 100 to 150 downloads in a batch and once thatâs exceeded, you get that error.
In the Model Manager, you should be able to download all the Stabilization, Motion Deblur and Frame Interpolation models in one go, or one batch for each - but donât include Enhancement yet (unless you only want the Enhancements). Most of the models are those small Enhancement files.
Then, expand the Enhancement list and download those models in groups of 3 or 4 at a time, which keeps each download batch to under a hundred or so files. That was the only way that I could avoid the connection handling error message you mention.
Giving credit where itâs due, TVAI actually seems to do stabilization better than my editor.

Iâm trying to download the manager but it keeps failing. Any ideas? It starts then stops and says canât communicate.
preview should work on exports not just 30 sec samples same as in 354 it doesnât, be nice to see side by side to see the change or lack there of instead of having to go into 3rd party viewer, thanks
I am rereading your reply the first part what is meant with all available block sizes for the selected GPU
Does it mean normally you do not have all blocksizes with internet connection for your gpu
What you mean exactly with a blocksize for a GPU let s say I have a Nvidea RTX 4080 as I see in the screen will it load specific for the 4080
Hence even with a good internet connection it is better to have the models downloaded
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but If anyone can help me, Iâm trying to figure out what encoder to use for the best quality with the smallest file size. I upgraded from 3.3.3 to the latest version and GAIA 2x (1080p to 2160p) upscaling using h265 went from a 600MB (Version 3.3.3) file size to 2GB (Latest version) file size for a video with the same original file size, length and quality. I went ahead and changed the quality level from high to medium but honestly the end result doesnât look very good and actually looks worse then the end result using 3.3.3. I donât have a 4000 series gpu I have a RTX 3080 so AV1 isnât available for me. The options I have are h264, h265, VP9, and FFV1. Also would the file container make a difference in file size?
Export to 4.2.0 10 bit FFV1 with pcm audio then use av1an to encode to svt-av1 
Why are hugh files a problem Harddisks of 24 TB USB are available and often you have multiple USB ports Think BIG not small it is about the end result use H265 main 10 for HDR
Oh yes please please stop using RTX 3080 3050 I have put them in the drawer myself bought it last year keep in mind the amount of frustration you are prohibiting yourself with by purchasing a fast nvideacard and see how productive you will become
Get A gigabyte 4080 RTX
Is file size an issue for your production process, or are you just trying to create smaller files for delivery?
I prefer to generate the highest quality Topaz output regardless of file size, then use an editor to adjust final output. Because reduced file size will almost always come at the cost of reduced quality.

I just noticed this too, I wonder what setting changed in the encoder, this could very well be a bug. Tripling file size isnât a small glitch, thatâs for sure. Or did they change the default quality from medium to high? Check and see if 3.3.3 is medium by default.
Something I missed before: using an RTX 3080 prevents you from using the AV1 encoder?
It was made before the hardware AV1 encoder was created. Only the 40 series have it.
