Installing EMA VFI WebUI

Option 1: Overlay on EMA-VFI for Use

1. Get EMA-VFI working on your local system

• See their repo at https://github.com/MCG-NJU/EMA-VFI
• I run locally with:
  • Anaconda 23.1.0
  • Python 3.10.9
  • Torch 1.13.1
  • Cuda 11.7
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • Windows 11

2. Clone this repo in a separate directory and copy all directories/files on top of your working EMA-VFI installation

• This code makes no changes to their original code (but borrows some) and causes no conflicts with it
• It shouldn't introduce any additional requirements over what EMA-VFI, Gradio-App and Real-ESRGAN need

3. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png using default settings

python interpolate.py

Option 2: Alternate Set Up for Development and Use

1. Get EMA-VFI working on your local system

• See their repo at https://github.com/MCG-NJU/EMA-VFI
• I run locally with:
  • Anaconda 23.1.0
  • Python 3.10.9
  • Torch 1.13.1
  • Cuda 11.7
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • Windows 11

2. Clone this repo to a directory in which you intend to use the app and/or develop on it
3. Copy the following directories and files from your working EMA-VFI installation to this directory:

• benchmark
• ckpt
• model
• config.py
• dataset.py
• Trainer.py

4. If it's set up properly, the following command should write a new file images/image1.png

python interpolate.py

Important

The Real-ESRGAN plug-in must also be installed to run the application
