Limitations of Video Enhancer AI version 2.3:


Note: This information applies to version 2.3 of the Video Enhancer AI.


There are currently some bugs in and limitations with Video Enhancer AI:

  • No error messages
    Due to a bug in Video Enhancer AI, it is not possible to capture their error messages.
    If something went wrong, you do not see any error message in the render log file in rrControl.

  • No process success verification
    Video Enhancer AI does not return a exit code if there was an error.
    In combination with the above bug it is not possible for RR to detect if the execution was succesful or not.

  • Not the right video output name shown
    If you want to export to a video file, then the output commandline flag of Video Enhancer does not work.
    Therefore the output shown in rrControl is wrong.

  • Error message to ignore
    Video Enhancer AI reports this error:
    StdErr: <FileAppender::FileAppender> File name is empty. The appender will do nothing
    This error has no impact if the process was successfully or not. 
    Please ignore this error message.

  • Not the latest version of the processing method.
    Each Video Enhancer AI version includes new versions of the processing method.
    It is not possible to specify a method without version.
    Therefore you might have to edit the submission script to use the latest version of the processing method.
