ECCV2022-RIFE VS txt2mask

Check out RIFE.

Using Flowframes with the RIFE model, run 2x interpolation on a folder of video frames.

Personally I have mine set to use RIFE AI via TensorRT for frame interpolation(x2), if the FPS is 30 or less.

Oh now that I saw this comment, I started to investigate frame interpolation techniques using AI and found this: https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE

Yes but you need to use a different AI first. There are multiple AI like RIFE (there are apps for it if you don't like code) that will smooth out your animation. Then you can use those frames with Novel AI to get a more organic look in the end.

To have more smooth effect you can reduce frame per second and add FILM or RIFE between frames.

Interpolated with https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE

Sure! This would be my approach (and tools) if I was smarter:

If you make the generations with some similarities and use the right interpolation, you don't need 1000 images like my video and can obtain a smooth movement.

First, generate images with some kind of visual anchor (background, an object). You can use frames generated using the previous frame as reference image, or the same seed but different prompt/parameters, or you can go wild using img2img/inpainting (btw I struggle to find an inpainting tool for Stable Diffusion: they seem to be just img2img with a mask, without contest).

Then pass the generated images to one of the most recent interpolation algorithms, like this one https://github.com/megvii-research/ECCV2022-RIFE or the one used in the replicate we are commenting on (someone posted this reference: https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation )

The first link reports some free and paid implementation and a Colab, so depending on how deep you want to go, you have a lot of choices.

In the end, I'd use some good app to stabilize the image if needed, to get a more "calm" look. I use Luma Fusion, but it's a paid app (cheap, one-time payment, for iOS). I'm sure there are a ton of open-source implementations.

It's an approach similar to the animation on replicate, but it allows a lot of fine-tuning and you can add new animation ideas/tools to the process.

Nothing revolutionary, but I hope it helps!

> You have generated some pretty cool designs.

Thanks! I put in a lot of work in the last weeks. The project has a mission, I wrote something, but it's not ready yet. I believe it will be with the launch of Dall-E 8 :-/

You'd probably get way better results by using something like RIFE to do interpolation and recreate missing frames, instead of minterpolate. I understand though that it's more effort as you'll need to install and setup RIFE.

Honestly I'd suggest just downloading the script instead, it's much easier to use and gives you boxes for the prompts rather than having to use all this stuff --> [txt2mask background[/txt2mask] It's up to you of course, but for me the extension conflicts with my favorite extension Dynamic Prompts anyway, so it had to go :( The stand-alone script still works mint tho haha.

Can pix2pix be used with the txt2mask extension to easily isolate the dancer?

That looks similar to Unprompted, which is the successor to txt2mask which is probably much easier to use than the others (at least after a quick glance at the documentation).

automatic1111's webui now has a txt2mask script for inpainting. see here. Works great.

Separating colours into masks then rendering one at a time would just take a plugin, not a model update. It would be like this plugin only a lot easier as the objects are coming pre-masked by the colour instead of having to run recognition on them from the description https://github.com/ThereforeGames/txt2mask

It's pretty awesome but the developer recently said he's wrapping it into another extension of his and will not be updating the standalone script anymore. I'm sad about that because it works differently in the new extension and I find it a lot less convenient now, altho it's possible it will be changed again so I'm not giving up hope yet lol. Here's a link to the original version if you want to try it https://github.com/ThereforeGames/txt2mask

There's a version of this idea already in the Automatic1111 distro, a script called 'txt2mask' that's on github here: https://github.com/ThereforeGames/txt2mask

txt2mask

Perhaps you could txt2mask (https://github.com/ThereforeGames/txt2mask) to automate - i.e. you just need to have the text "fire hydrant" as your mask.
