⚡️ Colorizing old black-and-white videos and "bringing faces to life" for FREE

SVFR — a full-fledged framework for restoring faces in videos.

It can:
💬 BFR — improve blurry faces.
💬 Colorization — colorize black-and-white videos.
💬 Inpainting — redraw damaged areas.
💬 and combine all of this in one pass.

Essentially, the model takes old or damaged videos and makes them "as if they were shot yesterday". And it's free and open-source.

⚙️ Installation locally:

1. Create an environment

conda create -n svfr python=3.9 -y
conda activate svfr

2. Install PyTorch (for your CUDA)

pip install torch==2.2.2 torchvision==0.17.2 torchaudio==2.2.2

3. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download models

conda install git-lfs
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt models/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt

5. Start processing videos

python infer.py \
--config config/infer.yaml \
--task_ids 0 \
--input_path input.mp4 \
--output_dir results/ \
--crop_face_region

Where task_ids:

* 0 — face enhancement
* 1 — colorization
* 2 — redrawing damage

An ideal tool if:
🟢you're restoring archival videos;
🟢you're creating historical content;
🟢you're working with neural networks and video effects;
🟢you want a wow result without paid services.
