This is a discussion of a technique for getting optimum detail rescaling using Proteus. Your participation, and suggestions are welcome.

I have a hard time telling the difference between Gaia and a Lanzcos filter upscale.

The new versions of most Enhancement methods have been tweaked, to different extents. Personally, I have found Proteus in both the standard and new betas behave a little differently and as, such, the approach to adjusting them must change, too. And I made some changes to my approach to settings and …

Proteus does wonderful upscaling. I use it almost exclusive ly for that. However, the input must be always cleaned up at original, but not so much as the ‘detail’ gets cleaned out of it, too. (Proteus can do this too, If you’re careful to not overdo.) FYI: after a careful cleanup at original size a…

I have not seen a performance enhancement compared to running multiple instances. They have just done what should have been done before automatically. Nothing has changed in rendering efficiency - they are just now properly using the resources correctly.

I disagree 100%. That has not been my experience using the same video clip from 2.6.4 until now. I have images that prove this to be true. If you post - back it up with facts.

I agree 100%. Give TVAI your best video possible. Then let it do its thing. There are many applications out there for PC and Mac to accomplish it. TVAI should have a minimum criteria posted on what it will accept — for best results.

Although I do have a few outside utilities I use for massaging video into good shape for TVAI, I have noticed that several of their tools for deinterlacing and clean-up have improved significantly. They have become much more useful as a result. In any case, never denoise or decompress to the point …

That’s all going to change fairly soon; although that also depends on the hardware you’re using. Interesting factoid: The cost of 4TB high speed NVMe is dropping. Also, there are lot of new adapters that are evolving to provide capability for having up to 1000 TB of NVMe SSD on one machine. - I’m …

Computer processing power is getting cheap quickly. For me I want to see the next generation of enhancement from this company. AI tech is moving extremely fast. Nothing dramatic has changed since I bought my original copy (on the AI end). It has been over a year. If the models were getting bett…
