Hogwarts Legacy - 60 FPS FMVs



All the FMVs, Talents, Spells and, Tutorial videos have been frame interpolated to 60 FPS for smooth playback. This has been done by using Topaz Video Enhance AI, which I find the frame interpolation AI model to be much accurate and better than RIFE (FlowFrames).

Before they have been frame interpolated, they have been undergone through a "De-Block & De-Noise" pass, which clears up the frames and reduces the TAA appearance within the videos, thus making the videos look slightly sharper and clear. This, by no means, is a remaster or upscaled, as it has been proven from my own tests that upscaling is pointless for this game.

Since this game uses Bink 2 for Pre-Rendered Video playback, there can be little done to improve the frame quality by adjusting the bitrate, as there is a hard-lock on the file size for Bink video.

The paintings has been left untouched as there are issues with exporting them, unless I have selected AVI as the export format for the painting videos. They may be frame interpolated in the future.

Short TL:DR:

- Everything has been De-Blocked and De-Noised, resulting in slightly clearer FMVs.

- Film Grain has been modified, as De-Block and De-Noise may reduce film grain significantly, so it had to be reimplemented.

- Everything has been frame interpolated to 60 FPS.

- No Performance Penalties from using this.

- Requires slightly more storage - ~10% - 25% more for each video file.

- Video Bitrate is slightly higher, but can only do so much.

• []Windows should ask you whether you want to replace the existing files with the files you've extracted. At this point, let it replace the files, unless you want to keep a backup of the original video files.[/]
