Video Inflation

Video Inflation - Use Frame Interpolation to increase FPS for super-slow motion video

See: Sample - Video Inflation

Uses

• Create a super-slow-motion video
• Recover real-time video from a timelapse video or GIF
• make discrete motion continuous

How It Works

1. Set Input Path to a directory on this server to the PNG files to be inflated
2. Set Output Path to a directory on this server for the inflated PNG files
   • Output Path can be left blank to use the default folder
   • The default folder is set by the config.directories.output_inflation setting
3. Set Split Count for the number of new between frames
   • The count of interpolated frames is computed by this formula:
     • F=2**S-1, where
     • F is the count of interpolated frames
     • S is the split count
4. Click Inflate Video
5. Frame Interpolation is done between each pair of frames
   • New frames are created according to the split count
   • The original and new frames are copied to the output path
6. When complete, the output path will contain a new set of frames

Progress can be checked in the console

Important

• This process could be slow, perhaps many hours long!
• Progress is shown in the console using a standard progress bar
• The browser window does NOT need to be left open
• There currently isn't an automatic way to resume a stalled inflation
  • Suggestion:
    • Set aside the rendered frames from the input path
    • Re-run the inflation
    • Use the Resequence Files tool to rename the the two sets of rendered frames so they can be recombined
