My goal is to remove the grain from the video, that’s it. When you play “Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 4K DV_scale_1x_amq-13.mp4”, their is no grain in the video, but its practically unplayable, skips frames. Using a EVGA RTX 3070, regular 4k files play smooth.
When you play the file, is there any FPS reduction?
Well that clears that up. I was able to replicate it on Artemis and Proteus on Topaz Video AI v3.0.0-8, the slow problem occurs on the older version v2.6.4
v2.xx couldn’t deal with variable framerate encoded files (most movies/shows on BR) which would result in stuttering. v3 with ffmpeg support takes care of that.
The workaround for v2.xx is to re-encode the file (can be big since it’s temporary) with fixed framerate and process that intermediate file with Topaz.
