Deoldify Vapoursynth filter

Dan, is the video output from the original DeOldify RenderFactor=21 identical to Hybrid DeOldify only Model Video RenderFactor=21 (all other settings off)  ?

yes it is the same, but in my tests the optimal render factor for DeOldify is RF=24, this is also the value used by Preset "Fast".

I noticed a difference between the Original DeOldify and the Hybrid-DeOldify.  I've attached clips and pics.  I'm using Hybrid 2024.04.06.1 
If possible run it on your computer to see if you reach the same results as I, maybe I didn't install something right.

TestClipSingerBW.mp4 = source video black & white
TestClipSingerResultsDeOldifyOriginalRF24.mp4 = Original DeOldify video at Render Factor 24
TestClipSingerResultsDeOldifyHybridRF24.mp4 = Hybrid-DeOldify video at Render Factor 24 (DeOldify only; Model Video, RF 24, everything else disabled)

Compare frames around 185, that is the biggest difference.  The original DeOldify appears a bit more stable.

Then I wanted to see what happened if these two DeOldify produced clips were used as source for DDcolor: Artistic, Chroma Stabilizer enabled [5, 'A', 1, 60, 0.5, 0.8], RF 24.  Perhaps that extra stability is passed forward.

It looks, at least to my eyes, that the DDcolor of the Original DeOldify clip as source is a bit less colorful and more stable.  Also there were no difference in using Hybrid-DeOldify or the black&white video as source when using DDcolor, they looked the same.
