chaiNNer VS SwinIR

It is like Comfy UI Jr. but much easier to navigate. Huge amount of useful features, and you can connect it to the WebUI. I highly recommend checking it out: https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

For the video it turned out a bit too "hairy" compared to many of the still images (I believe because of the long landscape aspect ratio), but I ran out of time to fiddle. I used the Seed Travel extension for the animation and ChaiNNer with the 4x-Valar upscaler.

While at it, check out ChaiNNer -> https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

If you want to do more, there's chaiNNer and CupScale. You need to download an AI model to use those. There are a lot of anime/cartoon models out, so pick one that you like from here. (Note: Upscaly doesn't support these custom models.)

For local there's cupscale and chainner

I was trying to get a new upscaler working, as someone pointed me to one that did a good job of preserving and creating new details: https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR

SwinIR: https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR

Upscalers that I use SwinIR https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui (Use 'extras' tab for the upscaler function) Topaz Gigapixel AI https://www.topazlabs.com/gigapixel-ai

You could try out chaiNNer, it is a free local/offline application. There are a lot of (upscaling) models which you can download an use with it. You can for example try out SwinIR-L (link will start a model download) or any other model you like depending on your input images.

the relative attention bias can be made non-square in the original implementation, there is a parameter window_size, at 7, that is forced to (7,7) directly, but you can change it easily. https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR/blob/main/models/network_swinir.py

Use SwinIR medium model to upscale by 2 times. This will result in a video of 2048x1152.
