Settings Explained

Rule: defaults are safe. Change one thing at a time, test with a preview.

If your version shows extra choices, same ideas apply — pick closest match.

Neural Rendering (Image + Video share these)

Control What it does Tip
NR Preset / Style Overall look hint Leave Default unless comparing
NR Intensity, Local Tone, Local Structure How strong the cleanup is Lower = natural, higher = punchier
Skin Structure Detail on skin (-1 = native) Touch only for portraits
Upscaling factor Output size: DLAA = same size, Quality → Ultra = bigger Bigger = slower. DLAA for cleanup only
Automatic Mask Lets app guess where to apply effect Experimental, can flicker — keep Off
DLSS Model Preset Which NVIDIA model version Default = auto. J/K/L/M = force, for testing

Reset settings on each tab returns that tab to defaults.

Video output (Video + Frame Interpolation)

Control What it does Tip
Encoding quality File size / quality: Auto → Good → Best → Max Auto is fine. Higher = much larger
Codec Plain = CPU encode, (NVENC) = GPU encode. RTX still required for enhancement H.264 plays everywhere. H.265 / AV1 smaller but heavier
Container File type: MP4 / MKV / MOV MP4 = max compatibility, MKV = keeps subs + audio
HDR Mode Keep HDR (10-bit). Only H.265 / AV1 / ProRes Off unless source is HDR and you need HDR out
Rename Auto = timestamp, Copy = same name, Custom = your suffix Never overwrites

ProRes needs MKV or MOV, never MP4.

App settings (Settings tab)

Control What it does Tip
AI Processing GPU Runs Neural Rendering + Frame Gen Automatic is fine. Set manually only with 2 GPUs
Video Processing GPU Runs (NVENC) encodes only Ignored for plain CPU codecs
Preview Encoding How in-app player previews are made: Auto / Always H.264 / Disabled Auto best. Disabled = play original file (may not play in browser)
Export / Import preset Save all settings to JSON, reload later Good for sharing setups or backup

Saved GPUs are remembered by ID. If that GPU disappears, it falls back to Automatic.

Advanced: preset file

Export creates a small JSON (...-settings-preset). Import checks format + version and ignores unknown fields, so old presets usually still load on newer app versions. config/config.ini is the live store — presets are just snapshots.
