Introduction

Dain-App comes with a user interface and a command line script to help new users to start using it with little change to the code. You can also get the Windows binary from the build section.

You can see a few results from those Youtube videos. Turning animations to 60FPS. Turning Sprite Art to 60FPS. Turning Stop Motion to 60FPS. Turning ANIME P1 to 60FPS. Turning ANIME P2 to 60FPS.

Installation

Check out the Colab code:

Remember you need to build the .cuda scripts before the app can work.

Running application with interface

python my_design.py

Running application with command line

You can see all commands for CLI using this code:

python my_design.py -cli -h

A example of a working code:

python  my_design.py -cli --input "gif/example.gif" -o "example_folder/" -on "interpolated.gif" -m "model_weights/best.pth" -fh 3 --interpolations 2 --depth_awarenes 0 --loop 0 -p 0 --alpha 0 --check_scene_change 10 --png_compress 0 --crf 1 --pixel_upscale_downscale_before 1 --pixel_downscale_upscale_after 1 --pixel_upscale_after 1 --mute_ffmpeg 1 --split_size_x -1 --split_size_y -1 --split_pad 150 --half 0 --step_extract 1 --step_interpolate 1 --batch_size 1 --use_benchmark 0 --force_flow 1 --smooth_flow 0 --downscale -1 --fast_mode 0

Training New Models

Currently Dain-App training code is broken, to train new models, use the DAIN github and import the models to Dain-App
