#TWIXTOR ALTERNATIVE MOVIE#
And when you see it processed through DAIN, you really get to understand how accurate (or how way off the mark) some of the movie and TV show recreations set in those periods really are.ĭAIN largely seems to differ from other existing methods of interpolation by its use of depth estimation. And it really does give those old videos a whole new look and feel. The initial goal was to be able to modernise old footage, to give it a more pleasing sense of motion and bring it more towards the types of video we’re used to seeing today. Therefore, the demand to improve the low-frame-rate videos, particularly the 12fps old films, 5~12fps animations, pixel-arts and stop motions, 25~30 fps movies, 30fps video games, becomes more and more urgent. Higher-frame-rate videos bring about more immersive visual experience to users so that the reality of the captured content is perceived.
However, due to the limit of video technologies including sensor density, storage and compression, quite a lot of video contents in the past centuries remain at low quality.Īmong those important metrics for video quality, the most important one is the temporal resolution measured in frame-per-second or fps for short. And it’s shown in varying forms including movies, animations, and vlogs. Starting from the birth of photographing in the 18-th centuries, videos became important media to keep vivid memories of their age being captured. DAIN analyses each of your frames and then uses a specially designed AI to intelligently examine the footage to generate the in-between frames for silky-smooth playback. This new technique, however, seems to cope with them extremely well, slowing down 30fps footage all the way to 480fps with virtually no signs that it’s been slowed. You can usually tell when footage has been slowed down in this way by the obvious telltale artifacts (ok, they’re not always quite as obvious as that one, but they’re often there).
Twixtor and Optical Flow techniques to generate missing frames has sort of become the standard, but it’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
