Ask HN: Does video processing usually work frame by frame?

4 pointsby cheeri0about 4 years ago
I just watched this excellent video about how to use deepfakelab.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;duckduckgo.com&#x2F;?t=ffab&amp;q=deepfacelab+tutorial&amp;iax=videos&amp;ia=videos&amp;iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DI0p2jLri2h8<p>I learned it does the deepfake frame by frame as individual images. I thought it was more aware that it was working on a video than that.<p>Does video processing always work frame by frame like that or does it ever take into consideration that there are prev&#x2F;next frames.

Yes, video is processed frame by frame. Video is essentially just a series of images played back at a specific rate. Different formats &amp; protocols work on how to reduce duplicate sections of the frames, but overall processing is always frame by frame. Given that, there are a number of shortcuts you can apply to frames where you don&#x27;t need to process each frame 100% separately, but that&#x27;s more an optimization as you are still processing frames.
