The long wait for 3.0 is almost over. In the past few months we have taken the time to rewrite the Video Enhance AI app from scratch. This is just the first beta and not all features are in yet. If you are missing something please let us know.
Ah, I didnāt do enough digging when I was invited here to see about any earlier betas. Sorry I am late to the party, but Iāll give it a wack on Windows and Mac.
Thought Iād bring this up now since itās still early times. I hope there are plans to implement logic for aspect ratio handling that lets you change the resolution of a non-widescreen source clip to a standard widescreen res. such as 4k (and vice versa) but maintain the AR and get the required black padding.
In VEAI 2.x if the source was not widescreen but your selected output resolution was, the application would correctly encode black bars on the sides to pad the video. The GUI would even show where the bars would be. Right now v3 doesnāt seem to have any logic for handling this. The useful ācrop to fill frameā option is also currently MIA.
Using Apollo with 100% (no slow mo) will still clear away motion blur? I want to remove motion blur without changing playback speed. This is for video where the motion in the video is too fast for the frame rate it was recorded at. I was a bit confused when I saw mentioned using 200%, 400% or 800% is better? Or Can I just use 100% but then change the output frame rate to be 2x, or 4x the original?
I guess what I am asking is if I have a 30fps video with motion blurring, where I want the same playback speed (so if it is 10 seconds long, it still takes 10 seconds to play), but I want to reduce the motion blurring as much as possible. The best setting will be to use Apollo 100% and set FPS to whatever my monitor is (60), or is leaving it at 30 or going to 120 beneficial at all for the model? Or will it be better to use Apollo 200% and then change the playback speed outside of VEAI or something to get it back to the original speed?
Iāve been using the alphas ā I just downloaded the .dmg and ran it from my applications directory.
I can also close that warning and then start using the app ā only it simply fails silently and doesnāt actually run any previews or export anything. It just looks like itās waiting forever.
Expected
not to receive the error (i.e. auto fix the models directory path) OR prompt me to fix it / navigate to it
not allow closing that error so I canāt proceed to the app OR have the app also say it canāt load models and prevent me from running a preview or export
Macbook Pro M1 12.4 - 8GB ram - I have a 2060 coming today for the old Intel Macbook Pro so will test
Timming clips will make End Users fustrated, should be in = in o=out, clicking on the curly brackets was a step curve (may be too early in the mornig)
New export options - thank you
Crop feature is good but the output format doesnt match up DAR example 768x576 letterbox - used crop to upscale to 1280x720, X:20 Y:90 H:720 W:400 getting 1280x728 and 10 lines blanking left and right uploaded to DB
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING UPDATE OVERALL AND SPECIFICALLY FOR SUPPORT FOR PRO RES 4444XQ.
I feel like Iām finally getting my moneys worth from the product, like itās finally, truly living up to the promise of what Video Enhance AI is and what itās capable of. UI is infinitely better, render times appear to have drastically decreased on my 16ā M1 Max with 64gb RAM and it just runs overall so much smoother than before.
After itās out of beta and has some additional polish + being able to better max out CPU/GPU and RAM capabilities (currently only using 20% or so and 8 gigs RAM for 8k upscale, even with Max memory usage set to 1.00, battery saving turned off, max processes set to 3, app in the foreground and energy mode set to High Power). Anyways, after those finishing touches, Iām completely fine with the annual license renewal fee and you guys charging much more for the initial license purchase.
You guys have truly built something amazing and worth being proud of. Congratulation to everyone involved, yaāll took your time to do things right and achieved results nothing short of spectacular. It was more than worth the wait.
it does seem like with Apollo, changing the āslow playback speedā setting effects the processing since the file size changesā¦ but I would like to remove motion blur while keeping the same final playback speedā¦
Previews are still pretty awkward compared to the old UI.
When rendering out a movie it says āwaiting for previewā and I canāt find out how to make it show the preview.
It wants me to wait until the video is 100% done, and thatās not good when rendering out an entire movie.
āPlease wait for the status to reach 100%ā EDIT - Saw that this is an issue reported in the main description of the beta. sorry
I have reported problems with color space handling in the past, but they have not been fixed yet.
I hope this will be fixed as soon as possible, as it is simply a matter of changing the options set in ffmpeg to the appropriate ones.
Even if you have other priorities, it is not a good idea to leave a color space problem that degrades image quality in an application that is intended to improve image quality. https://community.topazlabs.com/t/video-ai-3-0-0-34a/32848/151
Please make it so that the ffmpeg command line+arguments for the currently selected filter settings can be viewed/copied without having to start the export process.
@suraj Other issue : when I drag the video position cursor to move in the video to find a particular moment, I click on the cursor, move the mouse slowly to the right until I find that moment, then release the mouse button. But the cursor is sill moving forward like if I was sill pushing the mouse button while scrolling to the right!
Said differently, the UI didnāt catch that I released the mouse button and stopped moving the mouse.
Tested with Alpha 0.40: I could not reproduce the issue with the latest Alpha version, but the UI was much lest responsive than the first beta.
Not a good update honestly. Processing is slower than ever (Dione TV was 7fps in the last update, now itās 3fps). Sliding with your mouse through the video has a huuuuggeee delay, and itās really annoying. My cursor is at the end of the video, and the video preview screen is just fast-forwarding to get to it. The āadd grainā option isnāt there as well. Preview is worthless.
Hi, iām agree with you, the encoding is very slow, not fast, itās a very bad update. Why the grain option isnāt there? Whereās the hdr option too? Nothing good update sorry. Always error for audio with copy optionā¦ Never again new models, always same modelsā¦ Or never models updatesā¦ Iām very sad
