honestly they aren’t a huge problem but considering I was using h265 to reduce file size in 3.3.3 and getting file sizes that were around the same as the original source file but now those same files are 3 times as large as the source, it is kind of disappointing. For example I processed a video yesterday that was 700MB and the resulting file was 11GB for a 5min 4K 60fps video. That same video would have probably been around 1GB using 3.3.3 and it would have been the same quality. Granted I haven’t played around with this new version very much but the output video now is some ways looks worse, it almost has a painted look to it. With 3.3.3 I just set it to GAIA 2X upscale with H265 and it looked great.

I no longer have 3.3.3 installed but as far as I remember there wasn’t a setting for GAIA output quality. I did just notice that by default this new version was using Apollo Frame Interpolation which wasn’t being used in 3.3.3 so I wonder if that is the reason why I’m getting such huge file sizes. I’m going to process a video with frame interpolation turned off and see what happens. It wasn’t being used or needed in 3.3.3 so I don’t see why it would need to be used on this new version.

Would Apollo Frame Interpolation make the file sizes bigger? I just noticed it was enabled by default and I wasn’t using that on 3.3.3.

I used apollo before the size bloat so that’s not it. I think this is new to this release, I’d really like to know what topaz changed.

i have both versions, and ‘AMD dynamic main medium 265’ gives me the same file sizes. And its fast! 180fps on large lossless source encoding (no enhancement). I have run a lot of test on all 265 settings and that one i liked the most.
