Deoldify Vapoursynth filter

Assuming that would boil down to 50 users (I suspect less), the amount of users posting about problems with the filter is sad.

This filter is amazing, and it continues to get better with every new release.  There is nothing like it anywhere.  A most valuable tool to have in your swiss army knife creation.
DeepEx from the demo I've seen looks like the next evolutionary step.  Trying to get it to run outside the simplicity of Hybrid, requires knowledge that most people such as myself sadly don't have.  I've always been impressed by the collaboration between you and Dan on getting this project moving as far as it has.
To paraphrase a line from the movie Fields of Dreams: If you build it, they will come.   
I have no doubt more users will come to enjoy this filter.

I hope you'll reconsider :-)

Okay, I'll keep havc around.
In case Dan64 adds new options again, I'll probably revamp the whole thing to something where the custom part is reduced to a bunch of empty line edits without Hybrid adjusting those line edits at all.

Thank you, thank you, that is great news and looks great!!!


I found two interesting models from same author, I wonder how they compare to current color stabilization and deflickering in general.
Perhaps Dan can run these thing can provide us some answers

In the bottom video demo (the Mountain Sheep) red color flickering is eliminated.  How does it compare to the averaging frame technique that is used for DDcolor?

In this video demo, more deflicker examples.  How does this compare to ReduceFlicker?

In my opinion, such DeFlickering stuff should be added as a separate filter.
Yes, the second one is similar to ReduceFlicker.

Added support for HAVC Method, no clue whether everything works as intended.

Greetings to you

What a phenomenal job you've done! There are no words to thank you Mr. Selur and Mr. Dan64!

This may be the best colorizer on the internet today!

I hope you keep working on it Mr. Dan64! You've added an incredible option to Mr. Selur's Hybrid!

i look forward to the latest update which will include Deep-Exemplar ( Is there a way to add multiple references or a folder that contains Multiple reference images for colorization with Deep-Exemplar?)

I add my voice to Mr. Zspeciman's: "Please continue to support this filter".

With all my applause!

I wish you good luck

what need to be done as a user to be able and use the HVAC? do i need to redownload Hybrid? only the enhancement pack?
as of now the DDColor and/or DeOldify are not practicable usable, there is just to much color change/flickering in the output movie

[Selur]

Atm. you can't use it, since you would need:
a. an updated torch-Addon
b. an updated Hybrid version
both are currently not publicly available.

Hello Selur,

  finally I had time to test the last version of the GUI for HAVC.

  I noted a typo in the section regarding DeepEx (see picture): Refenence -> Reference


  In "preset" mode all the DeepEx parameters are propagated with the only exception of DeepExMethod, for example in this case to HAVC_main() should be passed the parameter  DeepExMethod=3.
