PyAnime4K-GUI

PyAnime4K-GUI is a graphical user interface for upscaling video files using FFmpeg and Anime4K custom shaders. It provides an easy way to manage video processing tasks with real-time progress updates and log outputs.

Features

1. Batch Video Upscaling: Select multiple video files for upscaling which will be saved to disk.
2. Configurable Settings: Customize output dimensions, bitrate, codec, and shaders via a config file using a text editor.
3. Real-Time Progress: Monitor upscaling progress with a visual progress bar.
4. Log Viewer: View live progress in the GUI and ffmpeg stderr in output.txt file.
5. Cancel Operations: Cancel ongoing upscaling tasks at any time.
6. Output Folder Access: Quickly navigate to the output folder.
7. Multiple Subtitle Stream Copy: Includes all subtitle streams from input file.
8. Compare Two Videos Side-by-Side: Video compare function that display quality changes in real-time.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• PySide6
• Opencv-Python
• FFmpeg with Vulkan support
• Additional Python libraries:
  • tqdm
  • ffmpeg-progress-yield

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/PyAnime4K-GUI.git
   cd PyAnime4K-GUI
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Place the required ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe in the ffmpeg/ folder.
4. Ensure the Resources/Config.ini file contains your desired settings. You can open Config.ini directly from the GUI.:

    [Settings]
    width = 3840
    height = 2160
    bit_rate = 10M
    preset = slow
    codec = hevc_amf # for Nvidia GPU's use hevc_nvenc
    shader = Anime4k-ModeA-UL.glsl
   

Usage

1. Run the application:

   python PyAnime4K.py
   

2. Use the GUI to:

   • Edit Configuration: Open the Config.ini file for adjustments.
   • Select Video Files: Choose videos to upscale.
   • Start Upscaling: Begin processing with the "Upscale" button.
   • Cancel Upscaling: Stop the current task with "Cancel."
   • Access Output Folder: Open the output directory to view results.

3. stderr Logs are saved in output.txt and progress updates will appear in the application window.

Custom Shaders

Click Here for Shader Details Shaders for upscaling are located in the shaders/ directory. Modify or add your shaders as needed and reference It in Resources/Config.ini file.

You can use your own custom shader combinations example:

Anime4K-R+DTD+U+R+DTD+U.glsl This combination takes 10 minutes to 2-pass upscale an episode to 4K on a RX7900xtx gpu.

# Included shaders:
Anime4K_Restore_CNN_UL.glsl
Anime4K_Upscale_DTD_x2.glsl            # Pass-1
Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_x2_UL.glsl
Anime4K_AutoDownscalePre_x2.glsl
Anime4K_AutoDownscalePre_x4.glsl
Anime4K_Restore_CNN_UL.glsl
Anime4K_Upscale_DTD_x2.glsl            # Pass-2
Anime4K_Upscale_CNN_x2_UL.glsl
