Can you guys tell me which settings decrease the artifacts around moving objects or fast scenes. Is it possible to take those artifacts to a minimum amount without losing smoothness ?

You will lose some smoothness if you want to decrease artifacts. Personally I don't mind losing a little bit of smoothness, as long as there's very little artifacts.

What CPU and GPU do you have? Not sure if my settings will work on your PC, but I linked them below.

I have a 4790K @ 4.6Ghz and a GTX 1070.

I have a less powerful htpc but I use totally different settings but am pretty satisfied with it. I was wondering if I could improve some more. Here are my settings.

Frames interpolation: 1.5m
SVP shader: 23. Complicated
Artifacts masking: Strong
Motion vectors precision: Half pixel
Motion vectors grid: 8 px. Small 0
Decrease grid step: By two with global refinement
Search radius: Large
Wide search: Strongest
Width of top coarse level: Large

I'm watching 1080p material. And I'am having a hard time interpreting what settings are making the interpolation better without really understanding them technically. It's not like the higher the settings the better.

Where do I go wrong with the above settings?

Can i get the smoothness that dain app gives with svp 4 ? I am using svp for years now but i neither get that smoothness of dain app nor do i get minimum artifacts as with dain app.

dain is at least 300 times slower than svp

Yes that's why i bought svp 4. But svp does not feel as dain app feels. I think what motion interpolation must look like is dain app. Correct me if i am wrong.

mpv settings have 0 effects on artifacts

14px grid is optimal for 1080p, start from there

I tried your settings but it produces those artifacts i posted before. My specs shouldn't be that bad i think. Because it says that ryzen 3 is enough for 1080p content right ?

Download converted scene, close svp and try it @ 144 hz

You can decrease artifacts further (and smoothness too). Ryzen is 3 is enough

I see artifacts around moving people in this video too.

Can you please try this settings and tell me if you get similar artifacts like mine ?

No I am not going to try those settings, of course I will get a lot of artifacts with those settings.

Motion vector grid 6px??? why?! Change it to like 28px, 14px is the lowest I would ever go.

Change SVP Shader to standard

YOU have masking disabled?! Of course you're going to get artifacts. Change it to strong masking.

USE my settings from the picture above for SVP. Use TO SCREEN for frame rate conversion. And change your MONITOR refresh rate from nVidia control panel to 50Hz (try it at 50Hz first!).

I changed my settings as you said and copied those things you wrote to mpv.conf file. Artifacts reduced bu now i don't see any different when it comes to smoothness. It feels like i am watching it without svp.

I also use max smoothness settings.

No way, that's too many artifacts. No I do not get anywhere near that. Maybe in a few scenes in a movie, I get a few artifacts, but nowhere near this bad where you can't even tell what you're looking at from how many artifacts there are all over the place, and majority of the movies I don't even notice any artifacts. Are you sure you have the PAID version and everything updated?

What media player are you using?

I get this kind of artifacts only in fast scenes. Yes i am using the paid version of svp 4 and i am using mpv player. So this is my problem when objects or people start moving i get these artifacts.
