frame-interpolation VS ebsynth

- Lastly I used FILM, an image interpolation library to interpolate between images

1) generate video using https://github.com/camenduru/animatediff 2) upscale using SD-CN https://github.com/volotat/SD-CN-Animation 3) interpolate frames using https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation 4) add audio using https://huggingface.co/spaces/suno/bark

I am aware of interpolation as well (https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation) where you give it two images and it generates the images in between to get there but not sure I have good enough images to attempt to use this yet.

Super neat though. With some interpolation (possibly this Google Research one I just found via ChatGPT), it wouldn't be too bad to dump a video in and have it process in the background.

FILM repo by Google Research, they made this very cool interpolation method, my favourite so far. It's a pain to set up, didn't manage to run it on my local machine, I'm not very smart, and I can't get "pip install tensorflow==2.6.2" to run on my Windows, so can't run the requirements, so can't run the script.. BUTTTT you can use colab here, and once you hook it up to your GDrive, you can change the path to your folder of images, and it will process and spit out the interpolated video for you. I only have free tier, and it took 16 minutes for the sample video.

FILM (Frame Interpolation for Large Motion)

Edit: used this for the interpolation. Flow wasn't the correct word. https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation

Also off-topic, but their github.io page has a bibtex snippet for anyone wanting to cite their work in their papers. I'm not an academic, but I still strangely appreciate the gesture.

FILM? https://film-net.github.io/

The only AI I can think of would be EbSynth, which would still require some frames to be fixed in Photoshop, but might work.

EbSynth - Transform Video by Painting Over a Single Frame

Download ebsyth from https://ebsynth.com/ , install it. (Make sure your anit-virus did not block it, or else it won't works)

EbSynth (Used to interpolate/animate using painted-over or stylized keyframes from a driving video, à la Joel Haver) https://ebsynth.com/

There is something called ebsynth on GitHub: https://github.com/jamriska/ebsynth

Anything AI is going to be divisive, but I think you already have a pretty good grasp of the issue. Adjacent to this there is stuff like EBSynth https://ebsynth.com/ which rotoscopes video footage. Joel Haver uses it to make all his animations solo and has a video going over the process - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq_KOmXyVDo
