AVISynth Scenarios

Frame Interpolation with RIFE

RIFE

Note: RIFE only operates on a 64bit system with the latest graphic cards. RIFE is a high-quality frame interpolation filter, meaning it will smooth out videos by re/creating frames that are missing, such as after duplicated or blended frames have been removed by other filters, for example when processing cine film that has been captured by a video camera (telecine). It will interpolate between two frames and create an in-between frame. This results in smoother video. The RIFE filter comprises two parts: the filter files themselves, which are included in the plugins folder in the above zip package, and the RIFE models, which are a 1GB collection of files and folders which detail the various models. I haven’t included the models folder in the above download because of it’s size; if you would like to use RIFE: go to the Github RIFE page click on the “Latest” button on the right click on the link to the models to download the zipped models folder. Assuming you have set up AVISynth as I have described above, the models folder needs to be placed in the avisynth+\plugins64+ folder: The actual model number to be used in the AVISynth script is shown against the folder number is shown lower down on the Github page linked-to above. For example, folder 4.6 (True) is model number 24. Note: only models using 4.1 and above will allow adjustment/manual setting of the frame rate. Lower models will only double the original framerate. A typical RIFE script would look something like this, with the user-variables in blue: v=ffms2("H:\Magix Info\Jak\Deinterlaced 00059.m2ts") a=LWLibavAudioSource("H:\Magix Info\Jak\Deinterlaced 00059.m2ts") AudioDub(v,a) # RIFE only works with RGB floats z_ConvertFormat(pixel_type="RGBPS", colorspace_op="709:709:709:l=>rgb:709:709:f") # motion interpolate to 50 fps Rife(gpu_thread=1, model=11, fps_num=50000, fps_den=1000, sc=true, sc_threshold=0.12) # back to YV12 z_ConvertFormat(pixel_type="YUV420P8", colorspace_op="rgb:709:709:f=>709:709:709:l")
