DeepFaceLab is currently the world's leading software for creating deepfakes, with over 95% of deepfake videos created with DeepFaceLab. DeepFaceLab is an open-source deepfake system that enables users to swap the faces on images and on video. It offers an imperative and easy-to-use pipeline that even those without a comprehensive understanding of the deep learning framework or model implementation can use; and yet also provides a flexible and loose coupling structure for those who want to strengthen their own pipeline with other features without having to write complicated boilerplate code. DeepFaceLab can achieve results with high fidelity that are indiscernible by mainstream forgery detection approaches. Apart from seamlessly swapping faces, it can also de-age faces, replace the entire head, and even manipulate speech (though this will require some skill in video editing). -

LosslessCut
The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing
LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera). Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file). -
This means every device on your network, and every interface on every device is automatically analyzed for performance, errors, QoS, and configuration.

MAGPIE
A real-time upscaling software that can upscale any application
A real-time upscaling software that can upscale any application or game window. Forked from Blinue/Magpie, with the intention of maintaining Visual Novel specific presets. Run Magpie and keep it open in the background / minimize to tray. Open the desired game / visual novel in windowed mode. Use Alt + F11 hotkeys to upscale your game window using magpie. Modify the ScaleModels.json if you want your very own custom stack of presets to use with Magpie. You'll need to start Magpie as admin if you want to upscale a game that's also running with admin privileges. Uses the CAS filter from FSR. Higher overall contrast and sharpness. I used this one instead of the standard CAS cause IMO it makes the details stand out a lot more. ACNet works very well for anime type art, looks very clean with think lines at the cost of some detail loss. -

Real-ESRGAN GUI
Cross-platform GUI for image upscaler Real-ESRGAN
The graphic interface of Real-ESRGAN, a practical and beautiful image magnification tool, refers to the design of waifu2x-caffe. This program is a graphical interface of Real-ESRGAN's command line program Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan , written in Python and tkinter, and supports Windows, Ubuntu and macOS platforms. According to actual measurements, arm64the single-architecture performance is better than universal2the dual- architecture Mac on the Apple chip, so Apple chip users are advised to pack arm64single-architecture applications by themselves. Real-ESRGAN can only enlarge the input image with a fixed 2-4x magnification (related to the selected model). This functionality is achieved by downsampling using a conventional scaling algorithm after multiple calls to Real-ESRGAN. Split each frame of the GIF and record the duration, zoom in one by one and then merge. Drag an image file or directory to any position in the window, and its path can be automatically set as the input. -

RENDER96-HD-TEXTURE-PACK
Texture pack for Super Mario 64
A collaboration texture pack for Super Mario 64 with the people over at the OldSchool HD, now known as Render 96, that is made of a compillation of the best results ESRGAN upscaling could make as the base for this project, as well of some of the original textures Nintendo used, and a heavier focus in original textures made by project contributors which will eventually be an overwhelming majority of what this project is made of. The end goal for this project is to use the original sources for every texture in the game when possible, and use that to hopefully achieve 100% accuracy by recreating the textures with the same process and resources Nintendo had at their disposal back in 1996, as well of incorporating elements from the promotional art into the game with ESRGAN upscales as placeholders for the original textures. The team and I will make to fill in the blanks where no texture sources could be found. -

How To Get Started With Open Source Video Editing Software
Getting started with open source video editing software is easy and accessible for all levels of experience.
- The first step should be downloading a video editing program, such as Blender or OpenShot Video Editor. Both are completely free to use and offer a variety of features that can help you get your work done – from object tracking and animation to precise audio control. Once the software is downloaded, it’s time to start creating.
- Video editors typically have two main components: timeline and panels. The timeline contains all of the clips in your project and any transitions or effects between them while the panels allow you to edit specific elements like color correction, audio mixing, titling, etc. As an example in Blender you can access those options by selecting Windows > toggle panel visibility in order to bring up relevant menus for each task. With most programs, you can also customize these windows so that only what you need shows up each time.
- Once familiarized with the user interface it’s important to understand how files are imported into the project (i.e photos/videos). Most programs offer built-in tools that allow users to easily drag and drop media files into the workspace so they can begin working on their projects right away by adding music/video layers or titles directly into their timeline with ease. It's also recommended at this point to save often since larger projects may take some time complete resulting in long hours of work - so it's suggested keeping multiple backups handy in case something goes wrong during production.
- Finally once all clips are added it’s time for post-production where adjustments like colour corrections, sound design changes etc are made before exporting finalized film into an output format (most common being MP4). From there users have options depending on where they intend on using their videos - web streaming services such as YouTube/Vimeo support certain codec types so research beforehand is key here. Usually after learning about specific requirements for different platforms its simply a matter of adjusting settings accordingly within export window available inside editor itself then clicking “start render” button which will eventually produce desired file type needed upload successfully online hopefully leading successful end result.
