#◢ DeOldify - Colorize your own videos!

FYI: This notebook is intended as a tool to colorize gifs and short videos, if you are trying to convert longer video you may hit the limit on processing space. Running the Jupyter notebook on your own machine is recommended (and faster) for larger video sizes.

####Credits:

Big special thanks to:

Robert Bell for all his work on the video Colab notebook, and paving the way to video in DeOldify!

Dana Kelley for doing things, breaking stuff & having an opinion on everything.

#◢ Verify Correct Runtime Settings

IMPORTANT

In the "Runtime" menu for the notebook window, select "Change runtime type." Ensure that the following are selected:

• Runtime Type = Python 3
• Hardware Accelerator = GPU

In [ ]:

from os import path
import torch

#◢ Git clone and install DeOldify

In [ ]:

!git clone -b FastAIv1 --single-branch https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify.git DeOldify
#!git clone https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify.git DeOldify

In [ ]:

cd DeOldify

#◢ Setup

In [ ]:

!pip install -e .

In [ ]:

import fastai
from fasterai.visualize import *
from pathlib import Path
torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark=True

In [ ]:

!mkdir 'models'
!wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/336vn9y4qwyg9yz/ColorizeVideo_gen.pth?dl=0 -O ./models/ColorizeVideo_gen.pth

In [ ]:

colorizer = get_video_colorizer()

#◢ Colorize!!

Instructions

source_url

YouTube, Imgur, Twitter, Reddit, Vimeo, etc. Many sources work! GIFs also work. Full list here: https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html NOTE: If you want to use your own video, upload it first to a site like YouTube.

render_factor

The default value of 21 has been carefully chosen and should work -ok- for most scenarios (but probably won't be the -best-). This determines resolution at which video is rendered. Lower resolution will render faster, and colors also tend to look more vibrant. Older and lower quality film in particular will generally benefit by lowering the render factor. Higher render factors are often better for higher quality videos and inconsistencies (flashy render) will generally be reduced, but the colors may get slightly washed out.

How to Download a Copy

Simply right click on the displayed video and click "Save video as..."!

In [ ]:

source_url = '' #@param {type:"string"}
render_factor = 21  #@param {type: "slider", min: 7, max: 46}

if source_url is not None and source_url !='':
    video_path = colorizer.colorize_from_url(source_url, 'video.mp4', render_factor)
    show_video_in_notebook(video_path)
else:
    print('Provide a video url and try again.')
