๐Ÿ‚ What it does

Six tools, one panel.

โฑ

Frame interpolation

RIFE 4.25-heavy on TensorRT runs at ~200 fps. Slow-motion, ensemble, scene-cut detection โ€” any factor from 1.5ร— to 40ร—.

โฌ†

AI upscaling

Real-CUGAN-Pro, Real-ESRGAN, Waifu2x, ShuffleCugan, SPAN. 2ร—/3ร—/4ร— with TTA, denoise, and an optional color boost.

๐ŸŒŠ

Depth maps

Depth-Anything-V2 with 22 OpenCV colormaps + RGB-guided edge sharpening. Native resolution for 2.5D parallax + shaders.

โŒ‡

Smart queue

Drag-reorder, pin-to-top, cancel-all. Color-coded status with live phase + percent + ETA. Survives AE crashes.

๐ŸŽจ

Themes & a11y

Autumn, Midnight, Sakura, Forest. Custom-accent picker, reduced-motion mode, color-blind palette, output filename templates.

๐Ÿ‚ FAQ

Asked & answered.

Tap any question to reveal St6's reply.

Curious user Does it work with my GPU?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ RTX 20/30/40/50 โ†’ CUDA + TensorRT (fastest). GTX 16 โ†’ CUDA. GTX 10 (Pascal) and AMD โ†’ DirectML or NCNN. Intel iGPUs/dGPUs โ†’ NCNN-Vulkan. Each model in the panel shows which backends it supports.
Curious user Is it really free?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Yes โ€” no paywall, no watermarks, no time limits. Telemetry is opt-in and asks before sending anything. Use it in your own work however you want; just don't redistribute or repackage it.
Curious user Do I need Python or any extra installs?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ No. The ZXP bundles everything โ€” PyTorch, TensorRT, ffmpeg, Real-CUGAN binaries, all of it. On first run St6 unpacks the engine into %LOCALAPPDATA%\\st6.lapidary and never touches your system Python.
Curious user Can I use my own models?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Yes โ€” drop any compatible .pkl / .pth / .onnx / .engine into the matching backend/models/<name>/ folder and it shows up in the panel's model dropdown.
Curious user Can I turn off the color boost?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Yes โ€” Advanced Settings โ†’ Pipeline โ†’ toggle Lapidary color boost. By default the final render gets a +10% saturation + 0.93 gamma pass that pops anime colors. Flip it off if you want raw model output.
Curious user What does telemetry collect?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Model + factor, render duration, source-resolution bucket (HD / FHD / 4K โ€” never the actual dimensions), GPU vendor, app version, OS family, and an error class on failure. Source clip names, file paths, and your IP never leave your machine.
Curious user Will there be new features?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Yes โ€” new models, backends, and quality-of-life features land regularly. Follow GitHub releases or join the Discord for dev builds and early peeks.

Like the tool? Buy me a Ko-fi.

St6.Lapidary is free and runs entirely on your machine โ€” no subscription, no cloud, no watermarks. If it's saved you time, a small tip on Ko-fi keeps the lights on (and the next features shipping).
