About TheAnimeScripter
TheAnimeScripter (TAS) is a free, open-source video toolkit focused on anime content. It combines AI upscaling, RIFE frame interpolation, and restoration in a single processing pass. The project is distributed as a code repository with documentation and build files.
You can use it to upscale video, interpolate frames, remove duplicate frames, add motion blur, and apply restoration such as denoise, dejpeg, sharpening, and line enhancement. It also includes segmentation, depth map generation, object detection, and video stabilization. It is available in three forms: a Windows standalone app with bundled backend, an After Effects plugin, and a scriptable command-line interface.
It suits creators and editors working with anime or animated video, including After Effects users and power users who want scriptable video processing without separate tools for each step.
