Crazy For Feet Forum

Hey everyone,

Taking a little break from my major shoeplay chronicling to do a little side project. One thing I've noticed is that a small group of dedicated posters take the time to link a YT vid and also graciously post timestamps. The unfortunate thing is when those videos get taken down. I think we can all agree that there are certain "god-tier" public/candid/real shoeplay vids out there that need to be preserved and shared as much as possible so they'll always be available for everyone to enjoy. So my plan is, as I check the forum occasionally and find some of these videos with amazing, easy to see, and memorable shoeplay - I'm going to try and download a copy and edit them down into a more palatable form for you to download and keep for posterity. Plus it gives me a chance to kind of practice my editing skills. So the first one is an edit of a vid I've seen up here...I think it was also shared on another YT channel. It's a lovely girl in black dress, heels, and I am pretty certain hose with some amazing legs. I've done two versions - a long one with a little bit of work done on it, cutting out the bits with her not in it, and then a chunk off the end. I've also done a short one with essentially just the shoeplay-ish parts. It's 12:30 as opposed to an hour. I'm putting links to both. Please feel free to give feedback. I'm of course making these based off of what I see to be the criteria I think are important, but I'd hate to lose a piece of potential enjoyment by doing something that is contributing to the quality of the vid in a negative manner. One thing I have done is a crop and zoom so that she is the primary focus of the camera.

Anyway here are the links

I love the work you did on this.
She definitely looks like a habitual shoeplayer, just from the way she did that post when she was talking to her friends in the beginning. That leg bend tells me all I need to know.

However, I think that this video can be made a little sharper with some AI Upscaling.
I've been doing it for a lot of old clips and it's hit and miss, but overall better in quality than the originals. You can then crop and zoom the upscaled version and do more with it.

Do you have a link to the original video? I'd love to take a crack at it. That is a gorgeous woman.

EDIT: AI upscaling program- https://www.topazlabs.com/video-enhance-ai
Make sure your computer can handle it. I bought a $10k computer specifically to use this program on it.
My old computer took 6 days to upscale a 30 minute video from 640 to 4k.
This new computer takes about 8 hours.

You rocked it, my man! As we say back on my old stomping grounds "you are doing the Lawd's work" lol.

Seriously though, this is excellent. I remember suggesting this idea a few years ago as a way to circumvent the issue of good "accidental" videos getting removed (or having the sets OF the videos rearranged) because of the geniuses who comment on them, and I'm glad to see it being done. I've got some videos that could do to be edited down too, so maybe I can toss a little something into the pile too so to speak.

Thanks man, I think the zoom is probably what makes it a little fuzzy. I downloaded it in 1080 using yt-dlp. I surely don't have the hardware to do anything much beyond what I'm able to cobble together right now...

Here's the original -

Beautiful. I'm about to see what I can do with it.

I also make edits of some candid videos that get posted on this forum, mostly from Russian exams or WorldSkills.
I found the best results when firstly editing the video without cropping, then upscaling it with AI (I usually use Strong Dehalo AI model 'cause webcams are usually of poor quality) and then cropping the upscaled video.
I can upload a couple of videos to my GDrive too and post it here.

That's great curious how it will work out

Very cool. I think this is the next phase that those of us who are serious about our enjoyment of shoeplay need to go into to preserve what we can for posterity.

On my earlier forum, I actually was doing some upscaling for people for a nominal fee.
So, yeah, if people contribute some money when they need some upscaling, I'll definitely help out for posterity.

THANK YOU.

I'm going to try that Strong DeHalo setting on this video because it seems like it might be helpful.

Here comes my first edit.
