The timeline really fell apart.
Thanks friend, but I donāt want to reencode any, I prefer software that doesnāt change anything in the original, just edit like a Swiss Army knife, thanks anyway for the answer :).
I know there is a way to do it without touching the original content, just cutting it, and I even know that there is a way to fix part of a video with artifacts with ffmpeg and avisynth, but I lost the address of a site that showed this to about 20 years ago, anyway, if anyone has a tutorial or script I appreciate the help.

Already answered this answer some posts above :
"Without re encoding (some bugs with subtitles sometimes), there is solveigMM video splitter (not free but work pretty well) for not re rencoding, H263, Mpeg, H264, Avc etcā¦ (Mp4, Mkv, etc).
i tried all the free solution before with no luck, itās this one which work best with no re encoding. There is a Free Trial.
Wow, if Topaz VEAI works this way, I have to rethink what kind of software this is, Iām a C# programmer and Iāve been working for years in the computer area and see software behave this way, well I donāt think even an amateur software would reach this level, TOPAZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SET IT UP NOW, MERCY.

Thereās been a new beta in test for a couple weeks now.
Many users have figured out how to manipulate this program to their advantage. I donāt think it is a bad thing, if a person knows what he is doing.
I like this software because it is better than any other program at upscaling and enhancing video.
And I donāt see anyone from TOPAZ giving an answer to our questions here in the community, after all this community exists only for users, do they only pay attention to the ābeta testersā?
Iām starting to believe that the above statement is true, so it would be very useful if the ābeta testersā who participate here do a favor, not only for us, but for the company itself that their āpresetsā are improved and corrected, itās the least which is expected from a serious company, since its programming team has not deigned so far to come here to answer about it, at least as far as I have seen and participated here, anywayā¦

I know my friend, but I had problems with SolveigMM, when I was going to save, it got lost all over and generated errors, I donāt know what happened, I spent a lot of money, because their support couldnāt answer me, thatās why I asked about the use of FFMEG and/or AVISYNTH, because I know there is a solution for that, but of course the guy who generates a script for it will have to be very good, because these two software are powerful, and any error in the script, as you said, will generate a video and audio asynchrony, this is not very unusual, anyway, Iāll keep searching, if I find post the script here, or if anyone does, please feel free to post here, everyone will thank you, since it is pertinent to everyone who does Upscaling, improve their videos before this denoise process among others used by VEAI, before someone says that we are completely running away from the subject, but I agree that these posts should be a topic referring to āpresets and their er problems and inconveniencesā.

P.S. Iāve seen scripts in the past in avisynth, which even fixed artifacts in MPEG2 videos, just like the MUF script solves Dione TVās ghosting problem.
Yes of course I know that, what I want to show here is that a version of VEAI is not working correctly compared to the previous version, example given here: from some versions depending on how you install the product, you lose to always what was in the previous preset that fits in this new version, well, this kind of thing is inadmissible, at least in everything Iāve learned about programming and its relationship with the end user, I have to give the user facilities, many donāt even know of what was said here if they do not participate in the community. What is certain is that they keep all the compatible presets, and the user chooses whether or not to continue with them, and not simply as a default installation, that it will do a clean installation, only with the new presets that āthey think the program must haveā, see what problem they are creating with it, think about the following: I buy the VEAI today, I will install it, and none of the presets suit me, and a compatible from a previous version that I didnāt have could work very well for this, and look how this is a very dumb thing at the programming level, I would say that the problem here is architecture, that is, the responsibility of the SOFTWARE ARCHITECTS TO BE MORE EXACT. I see Muf talking all the time about Artemis AA, and I donāt see this preset in my VEAI 2.2.0 version, so if I started today by buying the product and installing it, I will never have access to Artemis AA since it belongs to previous versions, this is a very serious problem, and then Iām forced to do a workaround and no one from TOPAZ is concerned about this, a software architecture error, mercy, this is very serious.

Ok, I am not a programmer. So, I trust your expertise. I know VEAI has many faults, but it is a new, experimental technology. So, for me, as long as I can get good results more often then not, then I am happy enough with the program. However, when I see a problem, I post and let the developers know. They donāt always reply because they are busy, but I know for sure that they read the comments.

Well, in fairness, the beta is the next version. Itās the one to critique and bugcheck, not the current release.
How so? There is a beta running now.
Youāre only here since 15 daysā¦ 
ā¦ so

does topaz dev answer here or on the beta (private) testing page, (and facebook page as well) and listen to the community and aswner or to the beta testers as well, and try to improve the software ? YES.
VEAI is one of the software i saw the most updated in my whole life, answer when they can.
alpha sometimes open to public etcā¦ no company, no software are perfect, and people will always complain about everything all the time anyway. -
are presets are improved and corrected with time ? yes.
there is actually in the last beta a new model, very interesting, called Proteus, because it gives a lot of controls to what can be changed. -
serious company ? i canāt talk about the other software of topaz, but for what i see, they are very serious with VEAI. but this software alone will not cook a whole diner ! itās to take in consideration. For example, for now, the best de interlacing feature is Not in VEAI, and has to be used in an another software, etcā¦
-
at some point youāll see the dev coming here to talk or etcā¦ if itās needed. if you take a look for now, most of the complains, are about feature not implanted, or not yet, or still in dev (like the de interlaced one).
as far as i can tell, i never saw a software like this, itās pure magic and a one in a kind.
Edit :
5) the issue of a model disapearing , replaced by an another one, which was better at some time for some etc ā¦ is known. itās marchine learning software, and as they said, too, at some point, some models canāt be be learned more without giving bad results, and some have been kind of abandonned or removed (like some Gaia and Theia).
actually there is a lot of models, and a very nice GUI who is present since 2.0 the software is, as someone said young (a bit more than one year old). For most people, it does the job, and do terrific result. People want a all in one software to de intereslace videos that professionnal does directly on film Scanā¦ This is a small software which does it best, and so the dev team with it. itās Not perfect, but each new version I see, except about some issues or when a bug appears or can make the software being a step backward, is usually an improvement.

I really hope this āProRes HQ (Fast)ā issue gets fixed in whatever the next release is. I canāt output anything with HQ selected. I assume that compared to āProRes 422 (Slow)ā, the āHQā quality is better.
hello, there are still no updates ??

Have you improved Dione models to deinterlace āiā footage?
There are two new beta models; Chronos and Proteus, general engine improvements and smaller UI fixes. No modifications to existing models are listed in the changelog for the current beta.
Can somebody explain how compression factor is working? Formula of output bitrate.
Example:
h.264 video 1000x1000 12000 bitrate
upscale 200% into 2000x2000 with compression factor 25
What will the final bitrate be?
