Changelog from 3.4.4:

- Adds crash logs to “logs for support” and changes format to zip file.

- Adds change renaming “Second Pass Enhancement” to just “Second Enhancement” to reduce any potential confusion with two-pass encoding.

- Fixes special characters in file path causing export failure when using Export As.
- Fixes crash on app open for some machines.
- Fixes trim accuracy issues for ProRes.
- Fixes bug causing inaccuracy with video duration after resetting trim range.
Nyx:
- A new model for denoising high-quality video.
- The focus of the model is on footage from high-quality cameras captured in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.
- Processes videos at 1x scale to maintain the level of detail in the input video while removing noise.
Iris v2:
- An improved version of Iris v1, offerring more details and sharpness especially to faces.
- It uses TensorRT models for Nvidia GPUs and could result in a 50% speed-up.
- It also reduces the “previous frame’s ghost” artifacts.
- It reduces “marching ant” (diagonal movement of texture) artifacts, especially, for 1x and 2x.
Attention:
The format for support logs is being changed to include license information (auth.tpz). While this file is encrypted and only useful on your machine, please try to avoid posting it or your support logs here by mistake. This would not likely lead to a problem, but better to be safe than sorry. Please submit any logs directly to our support team or devs
Known Issues:
- Intel ARC is currently unsupported.
- If using Frame Interpolation to increase fps over 2x, output may contain duplicate frames.
- For Interlaced and Interlaced-Progressive videos, setting FPS back to Original may cause issues. To get around this, re-import the file. This only happens after manually changing the FPS.
- Videos with mismatched metadata and streams will display incorrect duration
- Frame number preview length may shorten on app restart
