Köszönöm szépen ezt a remek összeállítást! Üdvözlettel
This video deserves more views
That is so cool :) and your article too, I want to add that without FPS-interpolation (Like DAIN) you will have a bit “unnatural” result, 60 fps is the key to upscale-magic here :)

Thanks Denis! Couldn't get DAIN to work on my machine, so I used github.com/CM-BF/FeatureFlow, but hit memory limits quickly : )
Fantastic job! Just, the music does not fit at all (the jazzy part, not the last one).

So sorry, but the original, archived B&W footage looks much more pleasing to the eyes, much more natural. This lame colorization attempt is sub--grade as of April 2022.
