I believe you have compared 48 Hz custom mode and 50 Hz speedup mode. What do you think?

Oh I haven't tried speed up since I switched to RIFE, I did before RIFE and it was fine. I might give it a try, but I am very happy with 48FPS @ 48Hz

trying to figure the best default model now
and it looks like 4.6 is still the best default choice

100% keep 4.6 as the default for everyone. Because then people will complain all of a sudden their RIFE is lagging if it changes the default with an update haha!

Most 'advanced' users already know how to change them.

Maybe you can add the 'extra options'. Such as Rife 4.16 Lite v2 and 4.18 in the drop down menu with 4.9 as well, but keep 4.6 as default.

Chainik wrote:

ok, 4.18 is also two times slower, and it's also recommended by the model creator

Is it two times better? It depends, I have always been sensitive to artifacts, since old SVP days I used to always try to minimise artifacts haha

So to some of us, it is a lot more than 2x better.

In terms of 'smoothness', not much difference, very similar between all RIFE versions. In terms of artifact masking, much much better.

Thank you. I probably wasn't going to update to 10.4,. But I'm glad that Cuda 12.6 the  officially part of SVP. Thanks again smile

Re: New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!!

Wasn't this a great time to fully switch to the v2 models?
Or are there certain scenarios where they actually perform slower than v1 models?

Re: New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!!

thanks for the update. I've tested and I don't see any performance gain or lose with rife 4.22 lite v2. Around 98fps for converting a specific video 1080

Re: New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!!

4.18 (v2) still the best atm?

On RIFE page: https://github.com/hzwer/Practical-RIFE
RIFE devs say "For anime scenes, it is recommended to choose 4.22.lite, and for real scenes, it is recommended to choose 4.18."
So i would go with 4.22_lite v2 cause it's fastest recent lower computational cost model.

Edit: Making corrections as my previous statement was false in regards to performance.

There is still a performance difference between v1 and v2, and v2 still performs better, but the gap is smaller than what it was before. Good update overall, but it reintroduced an old v2 problem I had previously solved.

For those who are using v2. If you notice screen shaking in some scenes, or on certain elements on screen only. The fix is simple and I will post it below.

If you do not notice this screen shaking with certain elements or background items in films or shows, then do not worry about this, and this ONLY applies to v2 and advanced users who mess around with RIFE.

NOT for default users (you will not experience these issues).

Now for the fix.

Go to the link below, scroll down, download scripts.v15.4.7z (current latest), extract and copy vsmlrt.py and place it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\rife folder and overwrite the one that comes with SVP.

The updated script should fix the screen shake problem:

Thanks to flowreen91 for identifying the problem 20 or 30 pages back and posting the solution.

The old tree wiggle issue was present only on TensorRT v14.test2 and older, and was fixed just by upgrading to TensorRT 14.test3 or newer.
https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopi … 617#p84617
It was unrelated to what's inside the vsmlrt.py file.

But if u indeed manage to reproduce a new screen shaking issue and fix it on your 4K screen while using latest TensorRT please provide more data/video/recording example so Chainik can look into it. ^_^

Perhaps someone else can test and see to confirm v2 screen shake issue. Solved by updating to the latest vsmlrt.py

Testing was done with 4.16 Lite (v2).

First episode of Ahsoka below is very easy to notice, around minute 2 and 17 seconds, the highlighted area in the image below (vertical and horizontal neon lights) shake. The ones on the left side of the image do not shake.

Maybe because I had updated stuff manually before, SVP failed to update some sections (such as the latest vsmlrt.py) when it done the other updates.

I will be formatting my computer soon, so I can test on a full fresh install as well.

I guess for now, discard everything I said above until I test on a new setup. Or someone else can confirm the issue with the example I listed above.

Can confirm 100% the shake issue is there for v2 until I update vsmlrt.py which solves the problem as outlined above.

Please take a look.

I think that should be on by default because from what I have read, it might be duplicating some SVP functionality which may explain why the shaking bug occurs.

Messed with reinstallations, BOTH of these methods just make svp use v1 models, which doesn't have shaking issue and this caused the issue I've described above (it just can't load missing model for sure, I just never use v1 models so I don't even unpack them). For some reason, my script file wasn't correctly updated and partial reinstall (via components) couldn't bring me a working variant

I think that should be on by default because from what I have read, it might be duplicating some SVP functionality which may explain why the shaking bug occurs.

To clarify, Setting to "True" might duplicate some SVP functionality. I meant' that video_player: bool = False should be the default setting.

Hahaha you are right! I never noticed that.
It means the fix is actually longer than one line, hidden somewhere in the vsmlrt.py file from scripts.v15.4.7z
Will wait for SVP developers for actual fix.
Thanks TechnoStone!

Temporarily we can use these that don't have the v2 shake and load v2 models correctly:

Re: New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!!

This explains why I was seeing equal performance before.

To confirm the discussion above, I went to the rife folder and deleted all the models inside rife, and only kept the ones inside rife_v2

RIFE is not working without the v1 models, so basically it means it was just using v1 models even when v2 was selected?

flowreen91 wrote:

Tested with these above and also rife v2 is not working.

To test properly, remove all the models inside v1, so SVP doesn't fall back to them. That's what I am doing.

Now I need to find a way to make v2 work.

I think I remember Chainik saying that v2 models have become pointless. Especially after the change (can't remember the name, it's a Windows dll) that made it work better. But if you wish to process v2 files then maybe you should compare the helper files from before and after the latest update. From memory, the v2 processing is technically in the vslmt script, but I think the SVP devs essentially moved that functionality to the helper script. But as I said this is from memory.

Try to delete the old cache folder from here "C:\Users\Blackfyre\AppData\Roaming\SVP4\cache" and restart SVP maybe?

Files attached above are working correctly now after restarting the PC.

Closing SVP and opening it before was not working.

I'll delete all the cache files too

I will put back v1 models and test performance difference now between v1 and v2 properly.
