How is made. 🛠

FluidFrames.RIFE is completely written in Python, from backend to frontend. External packages are:

• AI -> torch / onnxruntime-directml
• GUI -> customtkinter
• Image/video -> OpenCV / moviepy
• Packaging -> Nuitka

Requirements. 🤓

• Windows 11 / Windows 10
• RAM >= 8Gb
• Any Directx12 compatible GPU with >= 2GB VRAM

Features.

• Elegant and easy to use GUI
• Video frames generation x2 / x4 / x8
  • 30fps => x2 => 60fps
  • 30fps => x4 => 120fps
  • 30fps => x8 => 240fps
• Video slowmotion x2 /x4
  • 30fps => x2_slowmotion => 30fps - 2 times slower
  • 30fps => x4_slowmotion => 30fps - 4 times slower
  • 30fps => x8_slowmotion => 30fps - 8 times slower
• Resize video before interpolation
• Multiple gpu backend
• Compatible video - mp4, wemb, gif, mkv, flv, avi, mov, qt

Next steps. 🤫
