The last dev version 2025.01.11.1 is just amazing, and is working perfectly!
I think that with version 4.6.5 HAVC has finally reached a good level of stability.
Using the approaches described in the chapter "Coloring Using Hybrid" of HAVC User Guide (that will be updated with the release of v.4.6.5)
It is possible to get very stable colors.
Of course it is not possible to get colorful movies with a great variety of colors, this is simple impossible using AI automatic colorizers.
To get colorful movies with a great variety of colors is still necessary a lot of manual work.
In the chapter "Advanced coloring using adjusted reference frames" included in HAVC User Guide I show how to improve color quality using ColorMNet and manually adjusted reference frames.
An example of movie colored using only ColorMNet with manually adjusted reference frames can be found at the following link.

to color this clip I used some thousands of low resolution reference images and hundreds of images colored manually.
But is an activity time consuming and the AI automatic colorizers has been developed to just avoid this manual activity.
Thanks again for the fantastic work you have done on this version.
