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). -

Video2X
A lossless video/GIF/image upscaler achieved with waifu2x, Anime4K
A lossless video/GIF/image upscale achieved with waifu2x, Anime4K, SRMD and RealSR. Started in Hack the Valley 2, 2018. The latest Windows update is built based on version 4.8.1. GUI is not available for 5.0.0 yet, but is already under development. Go to the GUI page to see the basic usage of the GUI. Try the mirror if you can't download releases directly from GitHub. You can use Video2X on Google Colab for free if you don't have a powerful GPU of your own. You can borrow a powerful GPU (Tesla K80, T4, P4, or P100) on Google's server for free for a maximum of 12 hours per session. Please use the free resource fairly and do not create sessions back-to-back and run upscaling 24/7. This might result in you getting banned. You can get Colab Pro/Pro+ if you'd like to use better GPUs and get longer runtimes. Usage instructions are embedded in the Colab Notebook. -

OptiScaler
OptiScaler bridges upscaling/frame gen across GPUs
OptiScaler is an open-source modding tool designed to enhance graphics performance and flexibility in modern PC games by allowing users to replace or modify built-in upscaling technologies. Instead of relying on the upscaling method originally integrated by a game developer, the software intercepts the game’s rendering pipeline and redirects it to alternative technologies chosen by the user. This makes it possible to swap technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS even if the game only supports one of them by default. The tool effectively acts as a compatibility layer between the game engine and multiple upscaling frameworks, enabling cross-GPU access to features that might otherwise be restricted to specific hardware ecosystems. In addition to replacing upscalers, OptiScaler can enable frame generation features in titles that do not officially support them, improving frame rates and perceived smoothness during gameplay. -

OpenCut
The open-source CapCut alternative
OpenCut is an open-source, cross-platform video editor that focuses on fast cutting, trimming, and simple storytelling rather than heavyweight VFX. Its UI is designed to feel familiar on day one: a timeline, preview, media bin, and a minimal set of tools that cover the majority of social and short-form editing tasks. Under the hood it emphasizes responsive playback and snappy scrubbing so editors can make decisions quickly without proxy gymnastics. Common conveniences—snapping, ripple edits, keyboard shortcuts, and export presets—help you get from footage to shareable output with minimal setup. The project aims to be approachable for newcomers while still serving power users who want a dependable cutter for everyday content. With an open ecosystem, it invites plugins and community presets to extend capabilities without bloating the core. -

Robust Video Matting (RVM)
Robust Video Matting in PyTorch, TensorFlow, TensorFlow.js, ONNX
We introduce a robust, real-time, high-resolution human video matting method that achieves new state-of-the-art performance. Our method is much lighter than previous approaches and can process 4K at 76 FPS and HD at 104 FPS on an Nvidia GTX 1080Ti GPU. Unlike most existing methods that perform video matting frame-by-frame as independent images, our method uses a recurrent architecture to exploit temporal information in videos and achieves significant improvements in temporal coherence and matting quality. Furthermore, we propose a novel training strategy that enforces our network on both matting and segmentation objectives. This significantly improves our model's robustness. Our method does not require any auxiliary inputs such as a trimap or a pre-captured background image, so it can be widely applied to existing human matting applications. RVM is specifically designed for robust human video matting. -

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. -

Olive Video Editor
Free open-source non-linear video editor
0.2 is the upcoming major release of Olive. It's a complete rewrite from the ground up designed around cutting-edge features to help you make the best videos possible. Olive 0.2 provides powerful and flexible node-based compositing. Node editing is a form of visual programming that gives you full control over how Olive renders your video. Rather than a "fixed" pipeline where one effect occurs after the other, nodes allow you to connect anything to anything else allowing a ton of flexibility for creating effects. You'll be able to create virtually any effect without writing a single line of code (or waiting for us to implement it for you). Additionally, these nodes can be copied and pasted into text allowing them to be shared extremely easily. Olive 0.2 features end-to-end color management provided by OpenColorIO. This will allow you to match footage from multiple cameras with extremely minimal effort, as well as export your footage to whatever color space you need. -

ProPainter
Improving Propagation and Transformer for Video Inpainting
ProPainter is a video inpainting project based on the ICCV 2023 paper “Improving Propagation and Transformer for Video Inpainting.” It is designed to remove objects, complete missing regions, and fill masked areas in videos while preserving temporal consistency. The project accepts video input or split frames along with frame-wise masks that define the areas to reconstruct. It provides pretrained models, example inputs, inference scripts, and an interactive demo workflow for object removal. The repository also includes memory-efficient inference features to reduce GPU out-of-memory issues during video processing. ProPainter is useful for research, video editing experiments, object removal prototypes, and completion tasks where consistent motion is important. -
