Oh. I like doing a round 4x in Iris and then converting it down and doing a 4x in Proteus. A lot of times Iris is enough. The newer starlight mini everyone says is way better especially with not making terrifying faces when there’s not enough data but I’m not subscribing again for that
Iris does seem faster to me compared to Proteus. Didn’t see much use for me from like Gaia compared to Proteus. I convert down resolution with Handbrake with a pretty high quality target for h264 and then run it again in topaz with Proteus. 4x with Iris, than resolution back down by 4 and then 4x back up with Proteus. I feel like Iris + Proteus gives a real good result for low resolution content
Iris is really good with faces. That’s it’s design. The reason is going from a high res up 4x takes too long and downscaling fuzzes up the picture a bit so things don’t get too smoothed out when you upscale a 2nd time. Also there’s a resolution limit on the upscale so can’t get too large

Is Iris much faster than you, also how do you convert it?

If you have the full settings with Iris and Handbrake for me in a screenshot, thank you. I wanna upload some content when I’ll return to Reddit.
Iris I always use medium video quality source. Anything that needs low usually looks terrible on the upscale
Thank you, may I ask why you downscale and then upscale again rather than just take what Iris gives you
