My Custom Script Setting Opinion (Smooth like DmitriRender)

Hi,

Looks good to me so far! CPU usage is pretty low on my I5 12600K even with 4K videos.

Bruuh, what happen if you limiting the screen refresh rate to 48Hertz so the frame rate from 24fps or interlaced 23.976fps in some fast panning scene get better result?

Can we make it a little better? Did you find better values than those above?

I have a 144hz monitor too but i use it on 120 because it's the best for both 24 and 30fps. You mentioned above that analyse.block.overlap =1 decreases smoothness what i want is max smoothness with max detailed smoothness just like rife. Therefore, i will try analyse.main.search.coarse.distance and analyse.block.h settings for now. Thx for the reply.

I cannot find these options when I open the SVP Control Panel, where are they exactly?

1) Open SVP Control Panel:
- Frames Interpolation Mode = "Uniform"
- SVP Shader = "Complicated"
- Artifacts masking = "Weakest"
- Search Radius  = "Large"
- Width of top coarse = "Large"
(other motion vector options doesn't matter)
- Frame Conversion = "Whatever you want"

Ok so here are my thoughts. Biggest difference happens when i select weakest artifact masking. So in order to get max smoothness you have to select disabled no matter what. With analyse.block.overlap setting and masking disabled it is good for artifacts but in my opinion you lose a lot of smoothness. When you don't change analyse.block.overlap then it starts to produce a lot of artifacts when you watch movies. Basically you have max smoothness but it is unwatchable. In the end i have no idea how you can combine standart analyse.block.overlap setting with disabled masking and still get as little artifacts as you get with analyse.block.overlap =1 setting. I will write it down if i find a solution for it.

My settings look like this right now.
levels.pel = 2;
levels.scale.up    = 2;
levels.scale.down    = 4;
levels.full     = true;
analyse.block.w    = 32;
analyse.block.h    = 32;
analyse.block.overlap    = 1;
analyse.main.levels    = 4;
analyse.main.search.type   = 8;
analyse.main.search.distance = -8;
analyse.main.search.coarse.type  = 4;
analyse.main.search.coarse.distance  = 3;
analyse.main.search.coarse.bad.range  = -1;
analyse.main.penalty.lambda   = 1.0;
analyse.main.penalty.plevel   = 4.0;
analyse.main.penalty.lsad   = 800;
analyse.main.penalty.pnew   = 5;
analyse.main.penalty.pglobal   = 5;
analyse.main.penalty.pzero   = 10;
analyse.main.penalty.pnbour   = 5;
analyse.main.penalty.prev   = 0;
analyse.refine[0] = {thsad:2000, search:{distance:2, type:4}};
smooth.algo = 23;
smooth.scene.mode = 0;
smooth.mask.cover = 20;
smooth.scene.limits.m1 = 3600;
smooth.scene.limits.m2 = 7200;
smooth.scene.limits.scene = 10400;
smooth.scene.limits.zero = 10;
smooth.scene.limits.blocks = 60;

It's smoothness is good but yet again artifacts everywhere in fast paced scenes. It also creates halos around people which can be reduced by changing block.w and block.h to 16 yet again this works for movies not for anime. Animes tend to create more artifacts with 16.

After days of trying these are the best settings you will get for max smoothness min artifact.

Artifact masking disabled. Svp shader 21. Frame rate conversion to screen.

Try deleting analyse.refine[0] = {thsad:2000, search:{distance:2, type:4}}; this to make refine scripts work. For lowering your gpu and cpu usage you can try to set your mpc-hc acceleration setting to dxva2 copy-back. I made a couple of updates on my script try it out. The problem about the script i posted is it doesn't look as good as melts or yours when it comes to smoothness detail.

Nurk still looks better https://www.svp-team.com/forum/search.p … er_id=7145 if you dont have GPU/time for RIFE

Are these settings suitable for cartoons and anime or are they meant to be used for live-action scenes?  Or are they meant for all of it?

I tried these settings and they are good, but *not* as smooth as DmitriRender. And there are more artifacts in some places, like in this scene from Winter Soldier: https://mega.nz/file/RNoFTRSI#ff2Ftwxg6 … 0ZDuFOQsrY

Tried all settings variations suggested on this thread but I didn't see any improvement in the artifacts in this scene or smoothness compared to DmitriRender.

Is there any way to really make it smoother?
