Topic: Best settings for transcoding a 4k marvel movies

What rife model and best settings would everyone pick for a fast action 4k marvel movie for transcoding? Im trying 4.22 and 4.18 with mv_grid from 10 to 16. Mv_radius 6, mv_refine 5, mv_wide at 3. I am getting pretty good results, just trying to find the absolute best possible settings.

all those are not relevant to RIFE

Re: Best settings for transcoding a 4k marvel movies

Ok I understand. So they all settings that will affect rife would be fi_ settings like fi_adaptive, fi_precision or fi_masking? From a developers point of view, which would you choose as a least amount of artifacts workflow?

Re: Best settings for transcoding a 4k marvel movies

For fast action scenes stability is usually more important than pushing every setting higher. A slightly lower mv_grid with moderate mv_refine can reduce artifacts like ghosting. Also, keeping mv_radius balanced helps avoid motion errors in quick cuts. It’s often better to tune for consistency rather than maximum sharpness.

For 120Hz the default 16x16 grid seems to work best for me. After reading your post I tried a few things out and you are right about mv_refine. But for my current settings I need Global step decrease for smooth motion so I do get some mild ghosting which if I was watching on a TV screen I probably wouldn't see.

For fast-action 4K with RIFE, I’d keep fi_precision moderate, enable fi_adaptive for tricky motion, and use fi_masking sparingly. Newer models like 4.22 handle motion slightly better, but stability > max sharpness. Aim to reduce ghosting and warping rather than pushing every setting high.

I tried lowering mv_grid and it did made one of the few remaining artifacts I have almost invisible. But with certain scenes my CPU usage skyrocketed and frame rate went from 120fps to single digits because of my override settings. I guessed which one, removed it and everything is back at 120fps, even the more complicated scenes. Still can't get rid of the mild ghosting, but it only appears occasionally has maybe even improved a little since lowering mv_grid. Cheers for the suggestion.
