Processing module

• compress
  Reduce the video bitRate in order to gain storage space.

  expand more

  The processed videos will have a bitRate = width * height * quality, quality=3 is generally the lowest value before appearance of artifacts (bad images, blurry...). In other words, humain won't notice the visual difference between video of quality 3 and 6.

  

• resize
  Reduce the video width and height.

  

• upscale
  Increase video size by factor of 2,3 or 4 with AI, enhance video quality.
  It has the ability to start from last upscal progress if the "_upscaledx?_frame" wasn't deleted.

  expand more

  Begin with a transformation of video to image frames, then upscale each frames, finally reassemble to video.

  Original : 266x200

  

  Upscal x2 : 532x400

  

  Upscal x3 : 798x600

  

  Upscal x4 1064x800

  

• interpolate
  Increase video frame rate (FPS), smooth video.

  expand more

  Begin with a transformation of video to image frames, then interpolate between frames, finally reassemble to video.

  interpolate 25fps -> 60fps

  

  (The 60fps gif may be slowed down due to markdown, use a proper viewer may solve the problem)

• preview
  Generate a grid of images.

  3x2 grid of 2min countdown video

  

• frame
  Graph each frame's size of a video

  266x200 10s long video

  

• stream
  Merge selected stream of multiple videos into one video.
  And also modify metadata as tile and language.
  Then use media player as PotPlayer to switch between video/audio/subtitle.

  

Requirements

• Windows OS
• NVIDIA GPU for faster video process
• Atleast 50 Go disk space free for Upscale process | 10 Go for Interpolate process
• Python 3.10
• Tools

Embedded version

Simplest. Python, Tools are already setup.
Advantage : Beginner-friendly

Installation

Download and extract the Embedded release

Usage

Run the VideoScripyWebUI.bat

Self setup version

Need to download the source codes, install Python and its dependencies, download tools and include them to tools folder or add them to PATH.
Advantage : Freedom

Installation

1. Download the source code and extract.

2. Download and install Python 3.10 if you dont have.

3. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download tools

   FFmpeg full build for hardware acceleration.
   Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan for video upscaling.
   Ifrnet-ncnn-vulkan for video frame interpolation.
   NVEncC for GPU feature detection.

5. Include tools

   Create a "tools" folder and place tools in like this:

   VideoScripy
   │   ...
   │   VideoScripyWebUI.py 
   └───tools
   │   └───ffmpeg-full_build
   │   │   │   ...
   │   │   └───bin
   │   │       │   ffmpeg.exe
   │   │       │   ffprobe.exe
   │   └───Real-ESRGAN
   │   │   │   ...
   │   │   │   realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan.exe
   │   └───Ifrnet
   │   │   │   ...
   │   │   │   ifrnet-ncnn-vulkan.exe
   |...
   

   Or add them in the environment variable PATH

   • <pathTo>\ffmpeg-full_build\bin
   • <pathTo>\Real-ESRGAN
   • <pathTo>\Ifrnet
   • <pathTo>\NVEnc

Usage

Run the VideoScripyWebUI.py
