:gift: Checkpoints

Download the pretrained models manually and put them in ./saves (create the folder if it doesn't exist).

:zap: Quick Inference

• Test on Images:

  For Windows users, please follow RuntimeError to avoid multiprocessor Runtime error in data loader. Thanks to @UPstud.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python test.py 
# Add --FirstFrameIsNotExemplar if the reference frame is not exactly the first input image. Please make sure the ref frame and the input frames are of the same size.
