i like how sharp it looks, kinda gives you the best of both worlds when mixed with frame blending

[floral saddle]

fumier

topaz looks better ngl

[cedar wadi]

maybe that sharp look can simply be reproduced with FSRCNNX + CAS

Upscaling: nearest neighbor vs Topaz Video

[wild hearth]

honestly even bicubic+cas could prob

[cedar wadi]

feel free to run this through upscalers

[lucid mica]

8k?

comment t'as fait quand je veux faire dla 8k avec lupsacler ctt ça fonctionne pas

[cedar wadi]

ffmpeg -i in_i420.MKV -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 15 -vf scale=7680:4320:flags=neighbor 8k.mkv

[lucid mica]

tu mets ça où

[cedar wadi]

instruis toi sur l'usage du CLI

[lucid mica]

😡

[cedar wadi]

@wild hearth the audacity of mfs

[floral saddle]

genre tu mets ça dans un bloc note que tu saves en .bat

[cedar wadi]

fais un autre thread si tu veux partir la dedans

[floral saddle]

@wild hearth

default settings actually slap

[wild hearth]

i dunno, it doesn't look any special to me on first glance

the thing that I did notice instantly is yuv4:2:0

[cedar wadi]

how

[cedar wadi]

yeah thats exactly what you want

[wild hearth]

that's definitely true

[cedar wadi]

the actual original input is i444

ill upload an upscaled i444 edition tm

[wild hearth]

huh, does topaz convert it to 420?

[cedar wadi]

to compare, good idea

[cedar wadi]

i did, for a realistic usecase

[wild hearth]

ahhhhh

I think for high quality we should really make a 4:4:4 -> 4:2:0 2x res convertor script

or maybe if I messed around and made ffmpeg decoding for smoothie you could add your own filters

[cedar wadi]

that's what scaling to 4k and pix fmt 420 does no??

that's what ive been doing for youtube ever since i got into i444

[wild hearth]

yeah, first scale then convert

[lucid mica]

hmm youtube doesnt show 8k on that vid yet right

[grim glacier]

Dope! I actually thought about upscaling with topaz as well but I never got around to it

Did you input your raw clips into topaz or pre-rendered ones?

[cedar wadi]

oh i put t hem through smoothie first

it would take absolute ages the other way around

[grim glacier]

Yeah fair enough

Would there be any quality difference though?

[cedar wadi]

try it and see

[lucid mica]

@snow wren leaked that upscaler lmao

[cedar wadi]

wdym by leaked

theres cracks of it all over the internet

[lucid mica]

I told me that vayrode gave him that upscaler and that he leaked it

and that vayrode started crying after that

idk

[cedar wadi]

vayr0de was fine with me sharing his settings, weird

@forest bolt ?

[snow wren]

???? L i a r

[snow wren]

Same for me, like you said leak is everywhere

[coarse aurora]

what is your render in this video ?

[cedar wadi]

which of them

and are you talking about topaz for sharpness or smoothie for motion blur

[coarse aurora]

the topaz vayrode

it's look likes very clean

how i can get the same render ?

[coarse aurora]

all topaz, obs, vegas, and ig settings

[cedar wadi]

i did not use vegas

and obs is irrelevant

this was interpolated probably past 1080fps and frame blended to 24

https://ctt.cx/recipe

and for topaz you just need to set the sharpness to 20

[coarse aurora]

what did you use ?

[cedar wadi]

this program, smoothie

[coarse aurora]

but i can't do montage like cut or add song ?

[coarse aurora]

and did you speak french ?

[cedar wadi]

yes

[cedar wadi]

doesnt matter, just put in vegas after its done rendering

[coarse aurora]

ok ok vegas don't broke the quality

et merci

je comprends rien

galere l'english

in game t'utilise quel launcher et genre t'utilise le blur motion ?

[cedar wadi]

[cedar wadi]

[floral saddle]

[coarse aurora]

[cedar wadi]
