**Warlock Studio** is a unified platform for **upscaling, restoring, denoising, and interpolating frames in videos and images.**
It is inspired by and based on [Djdefrag](https://github.com/Djdefrag) tools such as **QualityScaler** and **FluidFrames**.

## ✨ Key Features

- **AI Upscaling & Restoration** – Utilize **Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, RealESRNet, RealESR_Animex4, and IRCNN** models for denoising, super-resolution, and detail recovery.
- **Face Restoration (GFPGAN)** – Recover facial details from low-resolution or blurry images and video frames.
- **Frame Interpolation (RIFE)** – Smooth motion or generate slow-motion content with **2×, 4×, or 8× interpolation**.
- **Advanced Hardware Acceleration** – Intelligent provider selection prioritizes **CUDA**, falls back to **DirectML**, and finally **CPU** for maximum compatibility.
- **Batch Processing** – Process multiple media files simultaneously, saving time and effort.
- **Custom Workflows** – Fine-grained control over models, resolution, output formats, and quality parameters.
- **Open-Source & Extensible** – Fully MIT licensed, for contributors and developers.

## 🖥️ System Requirements

<div align="center">

| <span style="color: #FBC02D;">Component</span> | <span style="color: #FBC02D;">Minimum Specification</span> | <span style="color: #FBC02D;">Recommended Specification</span> |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **OS** | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| **RAM** | 8 GB | 16 GB+ (Required for 4K & High-FPS Video) |
| **GPU** | DirectX 12 Compatible (DML) / NVIDIA GTX 10-Series | NVIDIA RTX 3060+ / AMD RX 6000+ |
| **VRAM** | 4 GB | 8 GB - 12 GB+ (For Stable Diffusion/Video Interpolation) |
| **Storage** | 2 GB available space | SSD (Critical for RIFE & Temp Video Processing) |
| **Architecture** | x64 | x64 (Native DirectML Support) |

</div>

> **Performance Tip:** Given that **Warlock Studio** leverages **DirectML** for hardware acceleration, keeping your GPU drivers updated is essential for maximizing processing speed across NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel hardware.
