Practical-RIFE Model Mirror
This repository is a mirror of the pretrained model weights used by Practical-RIFE, created to work around Google Drive's download quota limits when running RIFE-based video interpolation notebooks (e.g. in Google Colab).
Credit
All models and the underlying RIFE (Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation) method belong to the original authors. This repo redistributes their released weights for convenience and reliability only — no modifications have been made to the model files themselves.

Usage
Download directly with wget/curl:
wget https://huggingface.co/Bash2X/RIFE-Models/resolve/main/RIFE_v4.26.zip
Or with the huggingface_hub Python library:
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
path = hf_hub_download(
repo_id="Bash2X/RIFE-Models",
filename="RIFE_v4.26.zip"
)
Why this mirror exists
The original Practical-RIFE Colab notebook downloads models from a personal
Google Drive folder, which has a shared daily download quota. When too many
people run the notebook on the same day, downloads fail with a
FileURLRetrievalError. Hosting a mirror on Hugging Face avoids this issue
since Hugging Face doesn't impose the same per-file download caps.
