New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!! (Page 42 of 62)

Why does my SVP screen does not show "engine" or "performance boost"?
Also I tried this and i have the files on location like in screenshots. but the dropdown box in SVP doesnt show any new option...

because you haven't installed RIFE trt. there are 2 RIFE versions in SVP

1. RIFE NCNN or generic, which can run on AMD/NVIDIA card but slow

2. RIFE TRT (most of ppl here using it) only run on NVIDIA cards and is faster a lot than RIFE NCNN

It depends on the content actually, animation should pick a high number while the real scenes should pick a lower number.

in my case, I disabled the scene change threshold and picked the RIFE version that has fewer artifacts.

Scene change threshold - check if two adjacent frames are in different scenes or not, i.e. the frames are the same (but slightly moved) or completely different. If yes then there's no interpolation between these frames. Higher values gives more interpolation artifacts when scene change was not detected. Lower values give more "stuttering" (i.e. repeated frames instead of interpolated) when there was a false detection.

Noob here. I see that setting it 0% it just outputs the source movie (no interpolation at all so of course no artifacts cause it literally only plays the original video).
So if we want max smoothness + max RIFE artifacts to "disable the scene change threshold" you recommend we should set it from 15% to 100% (rife_sc setting in Application Settings) ?
Which old RIFE version that has fewer artifacts you picked for now ?

P.S. OMG setting "Scene change threshold" to 100% makes the video look amazing just like the old "Uniform (max fluidity)" setting from https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Manual:FRC
Why did nobody mention this before? Will only use this from now on. Many thanks!

I checked with my test files and anything over 15 gives a similar or the same effect for me which is basically what I have seen before. The major fast motion artefacts are still there, but this time I did see an improvement to a minor artefact.  So for now I've set mine to 20 and will see how it goes.  It would be interesting to see what the Devs think about setting to a 100.

Here's an easy trick to make RIFE run smoothly at a constant 240 frames per second on low-end graphics cards:

You can adjust the "resize" setting by following the instructions at https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Manual:All_settings
This setting allows you to specify the frame size resolution for all the videos you watch.

Try setting it to values like:
-1 (your current screen size)
-19201080 (1920x1080 pixels)
-12800720 (1280x720 pixels)
-10240576 (1024x576 pixels)
-06400480 (640x480 pixels)

By doing this, RIFE will play your 4K video in the resolution that your low-end graphics card can handle, ensuring smooth playback without any frame drops.

Love u man. Thx now another question for those who tried 4.13 lite and 4.12v2 which one is better for anime ?

I'll stick with 4.12. Why does gpu usage go up with newer versions. It uses %95 percent of my gpu for x3 on 1080p with downscaling to 720p and upscale it to 1080p with anime4k. I use 3070.

For live video the Rife 4.12 handles some fast motion better but for the most part you won't notice a difference compared to Rife 4.9. So depending on what you are doing, most users shouldn't bother with Rife 4.12. I know with my workload even a 3090ti would struggle.

Has RIFE become any faster? Do you still need a 4090 to go from 4k24 to 4k120 in realtime, without the use of TensorRT pre-caching? Or is a less powerful card good enough now? I'm considering a 4070Ti but am concerned that just won't be fast enough for RIFE 4k24 to 4k120.

Guess I'll wait and save for the 5090 then. Currently on a 4-year old 1660Ti which can barely handle SVP+MadVR 1080p60, and then my Sony A95K TV interpolates it to 120fps. No point in getting anything less that can't handle RIFE 4k120.

Interesting. I found 9.1 to use a bit more of everything with no obvious improvements and the Dev notes seem to confirm my findings.. I think 9.2 just a fix for the crashing issues but let us know what you find.

Is this something we need to wait for a SVP build to get? The seek hanging has annoyed me for ages.

Also, is there anything that can be done to get rid of the 1-2 second stutter at the start of video playback? (playback starts for like half a second then I lose all frames for about half a second on ncnn/Vulkan but 1-2 full seconds on TRT) I've never been able to resolve this when SVP 4 is enabled with MPC-HC. If I disable SVP 4 it stops happening.

Fyi.. just got VLC working and it does the same stutter on starting a video, so it's not related to just MPC-HC.
