Ken's Counseling Couch - Special Video Series
====================
This video is a "super resolution" video of the Kyle Rittenhouse Drone footage. I have created and I'm in the process of creating several different super resolution videos of this specific footage.

This video was created using a software program called "Waifu2x-Extension-GUI", which includes different super resolution engines for increasing the resolution of videos and images. This is done using Machine Learning / Deep Learning. Here's an article on how super Resolution works. It's a bit technical so you've been warned:

====================
Super Resolution Videos
====================
Here are the super resolution videos I've prepared:

2x 30fps: https://youtube.com/watch?v=RJr2k2OVjnM
3x 30fps: (This Video) https://youtube.com/watch?v=PY0SGtGlkLU
3x 60fps: https://youtube.com/watch?v=YUAT1sQX3tc
4x 30fps: Supporter-Only Early Access for now
4x 60fps: Creating Now, Unknown ETA

====================
Super Resolution Engine Settings
====================
Settings used to create the Super Resolution videos:

Super Resolution Engine: Waifu2x-Caffe

3D Real-life Model: upconv_7_photo

Split Size: 512/1024 (the higher resolution videos required 512 vs 1024 due to vram limitations).

Scale Ratio: 2x (this video), 3x, and 4x (different videos have different ratios)

Denoise Level: 2

=====
Hardware-accelerated Encoding:
=====
Platform: NVIDIA
Codec: H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC)

=====
Hardware-accelerated Decoding:
=====
Decoder: NVIDIA CUVID

====================
Frame Interpolation Settings
====================
The 60fps videos used "frame interpolation" to increase the frame rate. The following settings were used for frame interpolation on the 60fps videos:

Image Quality: 100%
Image Type: PNG
Image Style: 3D Real-life

Model: rife-ncnn-vulkan
UHD Mode - Checked
After Upscale - Checked
Multithreading - Checked
Auto-Adjust - Checked

====================
Hardware Used:
====================
Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5
CPU: Ryzen 5 4800H
GPU: RTX 2060 w/ 6GB VRAM (115w GPU)
RAM: 16GB (8gb used as Dynamic Ram Disc for faster processing)

====================
Notes/Appendix:
====================
For reference, the original video was 1920x844 in dimensions (the original was actually likely 1920x1080, but the prosecution got the HD version by removing the chyron from the Fox News video). I have created or am working on creating the following resolutions:

2x: 2560x1128
3x: 3840x1692
4x: 5120x2256
