rife-ncnn-vulkan VS waifu2x-caffe

flowframes is just an interface for interpolation models, you can still use rige-ncnn directly if you are familiar with the stuff. https://github.com/nihui/rife-ncnn-vulkan

Messing around with https://github.com/nihui/rife-ncnn-vulkan

Compressing the videos has become quite a project that involves the seed_travel script, a little imagemagick, upscaling with realSR, an absolute ton of interpolation with RIFE, and the swiss army knife of video tools, ffmpeg.

not SD based, but maybe this helps? https://github.com/nihui/dain-ncnn-vulkan https://github.com/nihui/rife-ncnn-vulkan

Windows version of the tool

I'd also recommend https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases for a free upscaler.

Waifu2x in particular, is one of the oldest and still one of the best AI upscalers for anime and drawings in general, and it has always heavily favored Nvidia. The most known port was not the original Waifu2x by nagadomi, but Waifu2x-caffe, which was much more feature rich, and supported CUDA and cuDNN, both Nvidia exclusive. There was an OpenCL alternative which worked on AMD, but it was only as fast as Waifu2x-caffe under CUDA, but with cuDNN it still blew the OpenCL out of the water.

If u want a more detailed program you can look up their github and download it to upscale up to 10x it runs on both cpu and gpu cores so itl work on whatever pc you got. Just scroll down a bit. git hub

It's open source software just as many other projects on github are. Can't really help you translate, but the program is in many languages including English the author is just Japanese https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe If you scroll down you'll see some English text.

I used waifu2x, its client version https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases. It is intended for drawn images, not realistic styles, but maybe you can find a use for this too since you use upscale in your workflow.

The settings I used for the original upscale (using waifu2x-caffe):
