• Uninstall
  For setup, please use the uninstall function of Windows or run "unins000.exe" in the installation folder.

  For zip, please click "Delete Config File" and delete all files.

• How to setup
  Enable AMD Fluid Motion Video in "Radeon Settings" or "Radeon Software".

  Run "BlueskyFRC Utility", select the GPU and check the target frame rate in "Rate Conversion" option.

  After completing the settings, setup your video player to use "Bluesky Frame Rate Converter".

• How to enable AMD Fluid Motion Video
  This is an explanation of how to enable the AMD Fluid Motion Video function of the display driver with "Radeon Settings", "Radeon Software" or BlueskyFRC Utility.
• About Video Player
  Please setup to use Bluesky Frame Rate Converter in DirectShow Player. For some players, the setting method is explained below.
  • GOM Player
  • Media Player Classic (MPC-HC/MPC-BE)
  • PotPlayer
• About AFM Mode
  
  • Auto: Default setting and behavior depends on the GPU
  • Mode 1: Created 2 original frames and 3 interpolate frames when converted 24p to 60p
  • Mode 2: Created 1 original frame and 4 interpolate frames when converted 24p to 60p
• About DXVA decode
  In LAV Video Decoder, please set "Hardware Decoder to use" to "DXVA2 (native)". There is no point to choose "DXVA2 (copy-back)" when using the same GPU for BlueskyFRC and for LAV Video Decoder.
• Zero-Copy Mode Requirements
  • Video Player use Enhanced Video Renderer or madVR
  • Video Renderer and BlueskyFRC use the same GPU

  If these conditions are not met, BlueskyFRC will not be used.

• About Video Quality Filter
  You can set the following filters available for Radeon GPU.
  • Sharpness Filter (Edge Enhancement, Detail Enhancement, Resolution Enhancement)
  • Noise Filter (Temporal NR, MoComp Temporal NR)
  • Mosquito Noise Reduction
  • De-contouring
  • Dynamic Contrast (Non-Adaptive, Content Adaptive)
  • Color Filter (Color Vibrance, Color Enhancement)

  If the GPU does not support, the filter will not actually work or work in another supported mode even if the setting is enabled.

  Please set to "Disable" for unused features. For example, when you set "Custom Colour Vibrance" to "Off" on the Radeon Settings, Dynamic Contrast and Color Filter will not working regardless of the setting on the "Video Quality Filter Setting", in such cases please set them to "Disable".

• About Decode option
  If you can specify BlueskyFRC as an external filter in the video player and it is actually used, you do not need to change this setting. However, this option is a useful setting in the following cases.
  • When only a video decoder can be specified as an external filter
    In this case, turn on "Enable decode function using external decoder" and specify the decoder to be used as the external decoder.
  • When impossible to specify any external filter, but possible to specify a specific decoder (LAV Video Decoder or MPC Video Decoder)
    In this case, turn on "Enable decode function using external decoder" and specify the decoder to be used as the external decoder.

    In addition, after turn on "Enable Global Mode", run video player and specify the decoder selected this setting in the player setting.

    Note: In this case, all applications that use the decoder selected in this setting will load BlueskyFRC.

• Status
  Displays the current status of the BlueskyFRC filter.
