4K AI 60 fps - Dark Goddess, Fortress of Althena cutscene from Lunar SSSC
An iconic cutscene from the old game Lunar Silver Story Complete for Playstation and other platforms. This particular cutscene stuck with me for a long time... This is how you do a cutscene! Evil Luna wow. Ghaleon? Cherry on top. Seeing if I could give it a simple quality facelift and enjoying it all over again.
The original PSX video was pretty low quality, but the Chinese PC version had higher quality 640x480. I used that as the base.
Was testing various tools. Starting with:
"DAIN ncnn Vulkan
CI
ncnn implementation of DAIN, Depth-Aware Video Frame Interpolation.
dain-ncnn-vulkan uses ncnn project as the universal neural network inference framework."
Slow thing that did a much better job than the speedy SVP for increasing the framerate. Increased the video's framerate from 24 to 48.
Next, I manually replaced a few frames that had annoying motion artifacts.
Then, I took the english audio from the playstation version and switched it out.
Do note the scenes are a little out of sync since Working Designs edited the scene a little for lipsync... Thought about doing that, but this is just for fun and will probably get 1 view... Hopefully not too distracting ;)
Then, I opened up Topaz Video Enhance AI, using the Gaia HQ v5 to scale it from 640x480 to 4K.
After that, I opened it up in SVP to push the framerate to 60 fps for youtube.
May have introduced a few artifacts, but needed to be 60 fps for the frame rate option.
Tada!
TL;DR something happened, enjoy the quality :D
