Inspired by [Djdefrag](https://github.com/Djdefrag) tools such as **QualityScaler** and **FluidFrames**, Warlock-Studio provides a unified, high-performance platform for **upscaling, restoration, denoising, and frame interpolation**. --- ## πŸ“₯ Download Installer (v4.2.1) from:

--- ## πŸ–ΌοΈ Interface Previews **Main Window** ![Main interface](rsc/Capture.png) **Console** ![Console](rsc/CaptureCONSOLE.png) --- ## ✨ Key Features - **AI Upscaling & Restoration** – Utilize **Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, 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 **2Γ—, 4Γ—, or 8Γ— interpolation**. - **Advanced Hardware Acceleration** – Intelligent provider selection prioritizes **CUDA**, falls back to **DirectML**, and finally **CPU** for maximum compatibility and performance. - **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. --- ## πŸ†• v4.2.1 Summary This update focuses on **stability**, **usability**, and a **major visual redesign**. ### 🧩 Fixes & Improvements - **Audio:** Fixed a critical issue that removed audio from generated videos. - **UI Settings:** Resolved conflicts between AI model options when switching model types. - **Thumbnails:** Made file icon generation more stable and compatible. - **Fixed Window Size:** The main window is now non-resizable to prevent layout issues. - **Dialogs:** Standardized dialog behavior (removed β€œalways on top” flag). ### 🎨 Visual Redesign - **New β€œDarkRed” Theme:** Dark mode with deep red background and high-contrast yellow/white text. - **Monospaced Font:** Switched to **Consola** for a consistent, technical look and better readability. --- ## πŸ–ΌοΈ Quality Comparison Enhanced image using **BSRGANx2**: ![Comparison](rsc/image_comparison.png) ## AI-Driven Visual Transformation: Before & After [![Watch the video](https://github.com/Ivan-Ayub97/Warlock-Studio/blob/main/rsc/Wsvideovs.mp4) --- ## πŸ“Š Model Comparison | Model File | Use Case | Speed | Quality | Notes | | :----------------- | :--------------------------- | :-------- | :-------- | :---------------------------------- | | **GFPGANv1.4** | Face restoration | High | High | Optimal for portraits | | **BSRGANx2** | 2Γ— upscale + denoising | Medium | Very High | Suitable for lightly degraded media | | **BSRGANx4** | 4Γ— upscale + denoising | Low | Very High | For heavily degraded content | | **RIFE** | Frame interpolation | High | High | Smooth motion, slow-motion support | | **RIFE-Lite** | Lightweight interpolation | Very High | Medium | Faster, lower resource usage | | **RealESRGANx4** | General 4Γ— upscaling | Medium | High | Balanced performance | | **RealESRNetx4** | Subtle restoration | Medium | High | Preserves natural image texture | | **RealSRx4_Anime** | Anime / line-art enhancement | Medium | High | Sharp edges for 2D art | | **IRCNN_L** | Light denoising | High | Medium | Mild artifact removal | | **IRCNN_M** | Medium denoising | High | Medium | Stronger artifact cleanup | --- ## πŸ–₯️ System Requirements - **OS:** Windows 11 or higher (64-bit) - **RAM:** 8GB+ recommended - **GPU:** NVIDIA (for CUDA), AMD, or Intel GPU with up-to-date drivers recommended - **Storage:** Sufficient free space for input and processed media --- ## πŸ“Œ Development Status (v4.2.1) | Component | Status | Notes | | :-------------------------- | :------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | | ONNX Runtime Engine | 🟒 Enhanced | Prioritizes CUDA > DirectML > CPU with automatic fallback. | | Installer & Packaging | 🟒 Overhauled | Full offline installer; heavily optimized package size. | | **Video Audio Passthrough** | **βœ… Fixed** | **Resolved critical failure to include audio in encoded videos.** | | **UI State Persistence** | **βœ… Fixed** | **Settings no longer conflict when switching AI models.** | | Upscaling Models | 🟒 Stable | Includes VRAM recovery integration. | | Face Restoration (GFPGAN) | 🟒 Stable | High-quality face reconstruction. | | Frame Interpolation (RIFE) | 🟒 Stable | Smooth motion and slow-motion support. | | User Interface (UI/UX) | 🟒 Redesigned | **New high-contrast "Inferno" theme.** | | Code Quality | 🟒 Improved | Refactored, modular, and more maintainable. | --- ## πŸ“‚ Project Structure
