In my setup (AMD/Ryzen 7 processor with Nvidia 4070S GPU), this sneaky Windows setting badly influences the video’s Topaz generates, by adding strange luminance (and doubles this effect when the generated video is played on a monitor or streamed to tv).
This is likely beyond Topaz their control, but if you experience the same its better to deactivate this setting.
It might be a good idea to screenshot what you’re referring to, because I have transparency effects enabled (always have AFAIK), and have never seen anything strange affecting video playback, or affect anything exported from TVAI.

Here an upscale with Gaia in Topaz from 720p to Full HD.
Hope you can notice differences. The longer I look the less I see myself, lol.

Like I wrote before, the many Nvidia options when activated also change the outlook of with Topaz generated videos, but these can sometimes be benifical. Negative LOD bias and Gamma corrections in particular for low quality videos.
I suspect that any differences you’re seeing are just on playback in the media player you’re using on your system (Nvidia settings can affect that), and don’t actually change how TVAI processes the exported video.
I’m not seeing much difference between your screenshots besides minor compression differences which might be caused by Flickr. I’m certainly not seeing any “bad” effects as you stated in your first post.
With the latest Nvidia Studio driver release, they mention the following fix; “Windows, photos, trimming videos may cause colors to change”. So there is (was) at least some kind of unwanted Windows interaction with video software.
