What RIFE Model to use?

Animation

• >=rife-v4.7 in general.
• rife-v4.9, rife-v4.12, rife-v4.13 seem to have the best quality.
rife-v2.3, if speed is not a concern, and 2X is all you need, this model was the previous go-to for animation.

Speed

• rife-v4.6, decent for animation, roughly same quality as 2.3 in that aspect. Fastest model in my testing.

General

• If there are many fast moving objects, rife-v4.13 has the best object detection in my testing. This also applies to text on screen, like credits or subtitles.
• Again, if speed is a concern, rife-v4.6 will work fine for general interpolation.

Still don't know?

• You can use my comparison script
• Usage:

  git clone https://github.com/TNTwise/Rife-NCNN-Model-Comparisons.git && cd Rife-NCNN-Model-Comparisons
  

• Replace 0.png and 2.png with 2 images you would like to test on.
