โœบ  What it does

Six tools,
one panel.

01

Frame interpolation

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

02

AI upscaling

Real-CUGAN-Pro, Real-ESRGAN, Waifu2x, ShuffleCugan, SPAN โ€” all on a single dropdown. Anime โ†’ CUGAN, live action โ†’ ESRGAN. Or hit auto-detect and let the panel pick.

Depth maps

Depth-Anything-V2 with 22 OpenCV colormaps + RGB-guided edge sharpening. Native resolution โ€” drop straight into AE for 2.5D parallax + shader displacement work.

Smart queue

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

๐Ÿชถ  Companion

Heavy and light.

A second panel built for the rigs that can't run TensorRT โ€” 4 GB VRAM, 8 GB RAM, integrated graphics. Same autumn UI, same upscale + interpolate workflow, ten times smaller install.

01

Pure ncnn-Vulkan

No Python, no CUDA, no PyTorch โ€” just signed Win64 binaries and a setup wizard. Works on every GPU made since 2015 (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, including iGPUs).

~420 MB install ยท No deps ยท Vulkan 1.0+
02

Custom RIFE 4.25 NCNN

Built from scratch โ€” a custom C++ ncnn runner + a single-graph mega-Net conversion of RIFE 4.25 heavy. No public NCNN port existed for 4.25 before this. Works at any resolution.

RIFE 4.6 ยท RIFE 4.25 (NCNN) ยท 20ร— max
03

Smart vendor routing

Auto-detects your GPU vendor and routes RIFE 4.25 through TensorRT on NVIDIA, DirectML on AMD, OpenVINO on Intel โ€” when the main panel is also installed alongside Lite.

Same panel, lighter weight

Real-CUGAN-Pro upscale, four utility buttons (Regroup, Dead Frame Remover, Precompose, Twixtor), autumn theme, UI scaling. Installs as a separate extension โ€” runs side-by-side with the main panel without conflict.

โœบ  FAQ

Asked & answered.

Tap any question to reveal St6's reply.

Curious user Which upscale model should I pick?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Anime โ†’ Real-CUGAN-Pro. Live action โ†’ Real-ESRGAN x4plus. Not sure? Click ๐Ÿ” Auto-detect type in the chain header โ€” it samples 15 frames, classifies the content, and applies the right one. Mixed content (CG-heavy live action, anime with live-action plates) defaults to Real-ESRGAN x4plus as the safer pick.
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.
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 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 Can I use it on client work or monetized edits?
St6 ๐Ÿ‚ Yes. Everything runs locally on your machine, the output has no watermark, and there's no licensing restriction on what you do with the processed footage โ€” client work, YouTube uploads, monetized edits, AMVs, paid commissions, all fine. The panel itself just can't be redistributed or repackaged.
