the colorizing files should be in the same folder as the images that are supposed to get colorized. Don't forget to download the model "./download_model.sh", that has to be in the same folder as well, cause its the trained file on how it should colorize.

EDIT:
You need to run the script in the same folder as the coloring files are.

@color: thanks, I have missed more than one step, downloading model now ...

It's easy to miss.

Hope it works. Otherwise feel free to ask.

This looks really promising. I'll have to play around with it this easter.

I'm wondering - if I have parts of the clip in color, can I use that to help the colorizer figure out the correct colors?

i hope someone port this as AVS/VS Plugin somedays

color · 29th March 2018, 14:36

Trondmm, sadly no, thats not really how it works, the file is trained by images they used who created the "coloring AI". There should be a way to teach it but I don't know how and didn't get answer when asking them.

Amayra, I hope someone will port it, there is a port off another system but its not free and they take pay for every image you colorize and they are not as good (in my eyes) http://demos.algorithmia.com/

I also want to add that using CNR2 you can get better color flow. (if you know what I mean)

color, your tutorial worked fine for me on Win 10 x64, I've got the original and colorized images and .mp4s, but I'm not sure how to combine them in an avisynth script.

color · 9th June 2018, 21:40

rsd2015, I did import the images, change the framerate to the same as the original and resized the image, using warp sharp to not get color bleading when mergin. Then I used:

Quote:

B=DirectShowSource("original_video.mp4")
C=DirectShowSource("colorized_video.avi")
Overlay(B, C.BicubicResize(B.Width, B.Height), mode="chroma")

I know people don't like DirectShowSource, but I don't know whats better and I have a lot of problem with imagesource and similar to get the framerate right. This works for me. But if someone know better for mp4 that works great just give me a hint.

PS. I'm logging in once a week, so you guys know I'm not gone.

A little update. There were an update not long ago on "Ubuntu on Windows". It seems like its faster. One movie that tooked 36 minutes before, now took 28 minutes.

Good news, it might be faster on some movies to colorize.

wonkey_monkey · 29th September 2018, 18:59

Any chance you could post a link to an output video? A scene with lots of cuts and different angles?

color · 29th September 2018, 22:06

There is on the first page one clip (to YouTube) if you click the image.

Link

I will try finding a cc0 movie that I can show more on indoor and outdoor scenes.

color · 1st October 2018, 08:27

Here you go, just klick on the image to watch it on youtube there is two scenes filmed indoors:

New step added cause Ubuntu does not update automatic anymore, well not in 18.04. The lates one is a bit faster also to colorize, so it's a great idea to update.

color · 10th May 2019, 05:54

I have changed my e-mail and notised that my youtube channel was connected to it so the video here is deleted.

I have now installed windows 10 may update (64-bit home). But I do have some small problems getting the install script to install. I will try to get it to work and figure out whats the problem.

RocketJet · 14th June 2020, 03:41

When executing the script "./install.sh"
I get the error message "cmake: command not found."

Please help, I know nothing about Unix.

Thanks StanlessS.

Sorry, but I have another install problem.

In the command: bash install-deps
I got the following error message:

Package python-software-properties is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
software-properties-common

E: Package 'python-software-properties' has no installation candidate

I tried replacing python-software-properties with
software-properties-common in install-deps,
but this made no difference.

I found python-software-properties on the Ubuntu site,
but there is no documentation on how or where to install it.

Can anybody help?
