In case any of you were wondering how RIFE is faring these days on my one killer video clip.
apo AI.zip (15.5 MB)
RIFE4,13.zip (12.0 MB)
Both clips were set to increase the frame rate by 2.5X. Apollo 8 was made using the TVAI CLI. Rife 4.13 was made using the SVP Control Panel GUI.
Both models are not perfect. The last time I tried RIFE was version 4.4. It was slightly worse than 4.13.
the RIFE there is a lot flickering on the fast movement object.
with Apollo it is less predominant. what about if you do the same with Chronos Fast?
I have a felling it would have better success.
I’ve shared the result in that past. It’s worse than Apollo but better than RIFE.
I’ll re-run them and put them here.

To me it looks like Chronos has decided that the ship should be part of the moving background.
Here you go. I had “Replace Duplicate Frames” unchecked.
Here’s the clip if you want to try it.

yeah I see now Apollo seems to yield the best as of now.
I know there is in the development pipeline a new AI “Aion Frame Interpolation”
there is also Apollo SR, but I haven’t seen it lately, it could be the Aion is the decedent of Apollo SR, not sure.
Currently it is only available on Apple based hardware for testing. once it is available on Windows I can see if it provides better results.
I highly advise you to apply to the Beta testers I think you will test very unique things and I personally believe your feedback and experience would be of great value.
RIFE has about 60 different models for testing. I have been using only RIFE for a long time, not Topaz.
in Hybrid or some other tool?
In VirtualDub.
I supplied the original clip. Any chance of you running some RIFE models on it and uploading them here?

Awesome, thank you!
For RIFE’s processes to have over 3x the filesize compared to Apollo, visually, IMO, there’s not much difference in quality; RIFE just edging Apollo just a bit wouldn’t matter much in certain fast-paced sequences. Also, RIFE still renders flickering in all models… with the 61 model, though the flickering is reduced but it’s still there.
Might be because I encoded all mine with libx265.
Oops! Wrong reply on the last reply I just deleted.
RIFE does not compress anything, so the accusation is invalid.
Uhm… know the difference… fast… between accusation and/or someone’s
valid opinion - especially the fact that you’re advertising, and clearly, all into your feelings (its masked scripted kiddie author?!.. 
), about another product on an adversary’s forum! I’m done here! 
rife4.13 is very old, now is rife4.26
RIFE 4.26 is pretty good. It seems on par with Chronos from my testing but Apollo is obviously the best. The least blurry of all the interpolation models I tried. I haven’t tried AION.
