    EDIT: links changed. What a mess. Scroll to the bottom of each one for the video. So complicated, I know, but it wouldn't download.

    All credit to @reznick for providing the tool in his last thread, which you can find here:
    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/gif-louis-360-ko-colorized-by-reznick-the-impeccable.638027/

    This was my experiment using the aforementioned tool on a clip of Tony Canzoneri vs Barney Ross II, from one of my previous threads.

    Original clip: https://streamable.com/2zdv5

    For some reason, I cannot download the video clips, so have had to link directly to the cell with the video footage contained.

    Clip 1, at normal 21 render:
    https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rq03UAu_SCT1BXm4fA8k87DdH4Lo7KY5

    Clip 2, at 15 render: (EDIT: Don't worry about this one)
    https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1_blujFJmEEa8P9aAPqPNDxuRrvWGuyF1

    Clip 3, at 30 render:
    https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Kz5np2z4X6QeSpMwWgNB-tfq9yiKDmJE

    The clips don't really have enough clarity for my (perfectionist) liking, however i feel it gives it a lot of life and charm. The 30 render looks the best IMO.

    Thoughts?

    I'm trying to watch, but it says I need permission? I have no idea what that means, well I do, but not how to fix it.

    But great idea, and I've no doubt it's done well. This is something I'd like to try and learn myself.

    The second link has loaded, the other 2 are blank.

    I'll try the original ones now

    Thats weird. The second is the only one that doesn't load the vid for me. The vids are right at the bottom. Did you go past the code?

    They load for me on incognito tabs as well. So it's not my profile. The original links I'm gonna change, as they require permission apparently.

    Don't worry about 15. It doesn't seem to load unless you rerun it. It was much better in colour, more vibrant and less washed, but the clarity was lower.

    Awesome stuff dude.

    There’s a troubleshooting tip for downloading videos I believe. You have to go through the folders on the left and download the video from there. I had to do the same thing.

    Nice clip selection!

    I’m glad you went through the process and actually got a clip colorized. Nice work man :)
