video2x VS DAIN

Another thing I've been meaning to try, but haven't yet, is hooking up VLC to https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x/wiki or similar, since, yeah, while DVD quality is pretty decent, for certain genres sometimes I do want a bit more luscious detail.

Upscaling? Yup - but it's going to be local (and slow) https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x

I've tried https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x but mostly for anime. The recorded video I tried ended up looking real horror-show, but it was also an ancient 240p video I had hanging around.

You can use video2x to do this (I'd recommend this, as it's free and open source. Works best on animated content imo)

Here is the last one I played with, but click the link above as there are newer models: https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN

Not OP and unsure it would work well in this case, but I usually reach for DAIN to do a few frames of interpolation - https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN

Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or if the video is slightly choppy. Maybe trying running it through DAIN to make it buttery smooth: https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN

Nah this one is actually machine learning. There's plenty of machine learning interpolation networks out there. DAIN is just one of them. https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN

You could try an AI like DAIN but I shudder to think how much VRAM you'd need to handle 12k footage, you'd probably need something like an RTX A6000, and even then I doubt that would be enough...

If you've got suitable hardware, you could run the clips through DAIN or a similar AI interpolation suite to double the framerate - that'll get better results than Optical Flow.

This exists, it's called DAIN. There are apps you can download which processes GIFs into 30fps, 60fps, etc. https://github.com/baowenbo/DAIN
