I really enjoyed @tania01's recent Lucy Lawless SAE videos. I've tried SAE in the past, but keep going back to H128. Now have decided to give SAE another chance since DFL development has halted and I know my SAE models will not be rendered useless by the whims of a mercurial programmer. ; )
I've made 500+ H128 videos, but only about 4 SAE vids, so I'm a near total newbie on SAE.
1) Do most people use the defaults when starting SAE training?
2) Does anyone fiddle with the style power settings through training? Is it worth it, or is it like Pixel training and mostly worthless?
3) Can a mature 100k or 200k epoch SAE model be recycled completely to a new celeb or pornstar?
4) Can you partially train an SAE model to say 50k, then use that as your starting model for all future SAE models?
5) At what point does the SAE model break down? A certain range of epochs, or just totally at random?
6) What are the best conversion settings? I made several FAN-DST conversions, but in my experience it took 4x longer than my usual H128 conversions. I've seen advice to use FAN-X. What are the pros/cons and what do most people use?
7) When using the April 2nd version of DFL and using FAN-DST for a gokkun video: a) Half the dick sometimes disappears or falls out of frames. b) The face replaced goes insanely cross eyed...a lot. Was this fixed in later versions of DFL?
8) I'm following tani01's method of training Celeb-Celeb for 200k epochs for the base SAE model that becomes the master model. I'll then train that master model to a specific pornstar clip for around 10k epochs. Is this method commonly used? Pros/Cons?
I appreciate any and all feedback. I can assure you that your advice will be put into 100s of hours of deepfaking work. Cheers!
