Flowframes 1.34.0 Changelog:
- Added resuming functionality (with auto-encode) - Drop a temp folder to resume it
- Resuming an already fully interpolated folder will instead just merge all chunks and mux audio
- Audio: MP3 tracks will no longer get re-encoded to AAC when using MP4 output
- Audio: Opus in MP4 (without re-encoding) can now be enabled with config option "allowOpusInMp4"
- Audio Fallback: Improved AAC fallback quality
- Audio Fallback: Use same channel count as input file, no longer force Stereo
- Fixed problems with weird frame rates where Flowframes would claim it's invalid

- Added option to set quality when using image sequence output (fixes bad WEBP quality)
- Added server selection option (Automatic/EU/US) to allow manual selection of server
- The last selected output mode is now remembered after closing Flowframes
- Fixed issues with GPU list
- Minor UI improvements (uniform/updated PayPal, Discord icons)
- Minor UX improvements (clarify that image sequences require manual FPS input)


Flowframes 1.32.0 Changelog:
- Added slow-motion option to easily create slow-mo interpolations
- Auto-Encode now works with Image Sequence exports
- Option to create both limited and unlimited FPS outputs now works with image sequences
- Added automatic ping-based server picker to download models from US or EU server

Flowframes 1.31.1 Changelog:
- Fixed problems that broke XVFI when using embedded python runtime
- Fixed model downloader not offering the option to download XVFI models


Flowframes 1.31.0 Changelog:
- Added XVFI interpolation AI, allows all interpolation factors from 2-10

- Unlocked 3x, 5x, 6x, 7x factors for DAIN-NCNN
- GPUs are now listed in the application's window title
- Batch: Notifications now only show on queue completion, not after each interpolation

- Added option to change default output directory (same as input or custom)
- Added basic command line arguments to automate Flowframes interpolation
- Added move up/down buttons to batch processing queue
- Fixed a bug that would set incorrect default values for certain settings


Flowframes 1.29.0 Changelog:

- Added a button in the settings to reset the config to default
- Added a shortcut button to the Encoding Settings on the main tab
- Added option to disable Preview tab
- Fixed problem where videos with BT470M color format would fail to encode
- Removed compatibility warning when Flowframes is run on Windows 11


Flowframes 1.28.1 Changelog:
- Added option to auto-pause interpolation if auto-encode can't keep up
- Auto-Encode: Old frames now get deleted instead of being replaced by dummy files
- Fixed speed regression on RIFE 3.x (up to ~1.5x as fast as in 1.28.0)


Flowframes 1.28.0 Changelog:
- Updated RIFE CUDA to 3.8 (Skipped previous models)
- Added native transparency support with RIFE CUDA 3.8
- Added model downloader to pre-download all models at once
- Added support for loading custom AI models
- Improved model loading (faster file validation and lots of internal changes)
- Step-by-step mode: Previous steps now run automatically if needed


Flowframes 1.27.2 Changelog:
- Added Backup option - Will save an incomplete video after every chunk encode
- Custom FFmpeg args now also get applied for GIF encoding, not just videos
- Fixed low disk space warning popping up even if interpolation is already paused
- Fixed certain temp files not being deleted correctly


Flowframes 1.27.1 Changelog:
- Image sequence inputs can now be used without any importing/copying (if compatible)
- Added the FPS limit ("Maximum Output Framerate") to Quick Settings tab
- Batch Processing: AI Model name is now shown in queue
- Batch Processing: Fixed problems where GIFs/videos would play too slow
- Fixed problem where GIF/APNG interpolations would have unnecessary dupe frames
- Fixed problems with alpha interpolation when JPEG frames are enabled


Flowframes 1.27.0 Changelog:

- Renaming existing files to ".old" now also works for looped outputs and folders
- Added image sequence copy support for BMP and WEBP (no PNG conversion on import)
- Invalid (non-image) files now get ignored when loading an image sequence folder
- New model files hoster, should make model downloading more reliable
- Fixed the encoding log sometimes stopping, even if ffmpeg is still running
- Fixed PNG image sequence outputs getting re-encoded unnecessarily
- Fixed some problems regarding the FPS limit feature
- Fixed problem where toggling JPEG frames wouldn't get applied
- Internal data handling improvements (JSON for config files)
