Flowframes 1.38 Teaser
🕑 Added 2022-07-04 09:07:39 +0000 UTCFlowframes 1.38 is coming soon, and there will be a game-changing new addition: VapourSynth-RIFE-ncnn-Vulkan has been integrated (called RIFE-NCNN-VS in Flowframes). This means you can interpolate videos without the need for frame extraction, frame saving, and separate encoding. With RIFE-NCNN-VS, everything is done on the fly in RAM - The video is decoded, interpolated, and encoded, and nothing needs to be written to your disk except for a small (1kb-50mb) frame index file.
This also speeds up the whole process by reducing bottlenecks.
RIFE 4.0 - 6 MB 270 Frames Input - 1080p x2 - RIFE-NCNN:
1.35 GB Temp Folder, 01:05 minutes of total processing time
RIFE 4.0 - 6 MB 270 Frames Input - 1080p x2 - RIFE-NCNN-VS:
0.04 MB Temp Folder, 26 seconds of total processing time
This new implementation also supports the "usual" RIFE NCNN features, like fractional factors, allowing you to, for example, interpolate 24 to 60 without any downsampling etc.
I'm still working on fixing some bugs but expect a release very soon.

Windows 11 should work the same
Lolol Idou
Is this supported for windows 11?, I've got it installed on 10 without proplems before but then I switched to windows 11 on a fresh install and it now it won't download flowframe java python
LTSM
No quality differences, but certain encoding features might be harder to implement. For example, the option to encode two files (one with FPS limit and one without) likely won't work.

SUPER EXCITING - no more waiting for 20 min to load large files. Saw that it doesn't need separate encoding anymore as well - COOL. Are there any downsides from a quality perspective from either the processing or encoding changes?
LTSM
Definitely
LTSM
Yes, though it has some minor limitations, FPS limiting does not work yet, deduplication still requires frame extraction, but looping and scene changes work, and all other basic stuff
Milica Zivanovic
So basically the 1.38 version will be using frame serving script? That sounds awesome! Can't wait to try this new one!
baxtyr
Sounds like a massive game changer update! Are we talking this month?
LTSM
No, only a small buffer will be in RAM.
EvilMadness
Sounds good.
kamild_
I take it this exemplary 1.35 GB folder will now take up just as much space in RAM instead?

4.1 is a bit better though a little glitchy. But you'll notice that if you export PNGs, that the jumpy frames are actually the input images. You can shift them all down a few pixels in an editing program.
Michael Carychao
Amazing! Looking forward to it.
FamKis
Totally awesome! Love this news! This probably will blow T*paz Video Enhance AI out of the water, speed wise at least.
WaveCut
Can I ask if RIFE 4.1 experimental anyhow different from 4.0?
WaveCut
Oh! My bad. Thanks for the clarification, waiting for the release.
LTSM
Why? NCNN is faster now (with 4.0 model) and does not require 3 GB of dependencies.
WaveCut
That's neat, I wish this could be possible with CUDA sometime
