#

i think its a possible ffmpeg option

#

remove -stats_period 0.15 or similar number from your ffmpeg options:

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:18 PM

#

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:18 PM

#

ok well its going to be a different error now

#

since you dont have masking set up properly

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:18 PM

#

bruhtent

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:19 PM

#

what input fps are you using

#

id imagine its quite low right

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:19 PM

#

60

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:19 PM

bruhtent

#

what is this config bruh...

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:19 PM

its for minecraft bedrock

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:19 PM

#

can i give some advice on your config

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:20 PM

#

sure

cursive hedge Mar 31, 2026, 6:20 PM

barren trench sure

get a job

Misinput

#

🙏

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:21 PM

#

ok for starters, on 60 fps input you are going to need pre-interp so it looks slightly good (pre-interp uses rife which is a slower but much more accurate interpolation method compared to normal interp's svp)
you are interpolating a bit too high for your input fps since the usual recommended is 10x interp max

cursive hedge Mar 31, 2026, 6:21 PM

#

uneven hearth Misinput

??

uneven hearth Mar 31, 2026, 6:21 PM

#

barren trench

Send the terminal window too

#

The white box just shows a generic error most of the time

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

craggy ether ok for starters, on 60 fps input you are going to **need** pre-interp so it look...

how do i change it to 10x

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

i swear if its gonna be even more errors beyond just masking

cursive hedge Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

barren trench how do i change it to 10x

by getting a job

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

barren trench how do i change it to 10x

ur better off doing 4x preinterp and 2x interp based off that 4x

#

man this config is so weird

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

WHAT 😭

uneven hearth Mar 31, 2026, 6:22 PM

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:24 PM

maybe?

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:24 PM

i literally just downloadded smoothie

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

will still have to fix artifact masking tho

#

frost do yk if its possible for ffmpeg to be bundled with smoothie-rs

uneven hearth Mar 31, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

It is

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

so the ffmpeg isnt in PATH error wont occur

uneven hearth Mar 31, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

Idk if it is usually bundled though (unless something changed recently, it’s not)

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

or is that a seperate thing

#

oh

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:25 PM

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

yeah its

#

not great

earnest lance Mar 31, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

his input is 180 fps

#

not 60

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

180 fps is very different to 60 fps

earnest lance Mar 31, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

he mixed up with 60

earnest lance Mar 31, 2026, 6:30 PM

#

earnest lance he mixed up with 60

output

#

all i did was set up artificial masking

#

cuz in blur his static ui was artifacting like crazy

barren trench Mar 31, 2026, 6:40 PM

#

@craggy ether @earnest lance @uneven hearth so

#

what do i do

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 6:41 PM

barren trench idk what rife is

rife is a different interpolation alorithm

uneven hearth Mar 31, 2026, 8:30 PM

#

It’s slower but more accurate

craggy ether Mar 31, 2026, 8:31 PM
