Set Up For Use

  1. Get EMA-VFI working on your local system
  1. Clone this repo in a separate directory and copy all directories/files on top of your working EMA-VFI installation
  • This code makes no changes to their original code (but borrows some) and causes no conflicts with it
  • It shouldn't introduce any additional requirements over what EMA-VFI, Gradio-App and Real-ESRGAN need
  1. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png using default settings

python interpolate.py

Alternate Set Up / Development

  1. Get EMA-VFI working on your local system
  1. Clone this repo to a directory in which you intend to use the app and/or develop on it
  2. Copy the following directories and files from your working EMA-VFI installation to this directory:
  • benchmark
  • ckpt
  • model
  • config.py
  • dataset.py
  • Trainer.py
  1. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png

python interpolate.py

Real-ESRGAN Add-On Set Up

The GIF to MP4 feature uses Real-ESRGAN to clean and upscale frames

  1. Get Real-ESRGAN working on your local system
  1. Clone their repo to its own directory and follow their instructions for local setup
  2. Copy the realesrgan directory to your EMA-VFI-WebUI directory
  • The Real-ESRGAN 4x+ model (65MB) will automatically download on first use
