Hi! I’m new to SVP (RIFE AI engine) and don’t fully understand all the settings yet. I’m experiencing an issue when trying to interpolate a video.
I keep getting this error in SVP:

I’m using a MacBook with an Apple M3 Pro chip MacOS 15.3.1, mpv is installed via Homebrew, and Vapoursynth is also installed. In SVP, I’m using videotoolbox for encoding.
