Video Depth Anything — Depth MP4

Runs Video Depth Anything (Large) and returns one grayscale depth MP4.

The default is 10-bit HEVC, which has four times the gray levels of a normal 8-bit MP4 and is tuned so smooth depth gradients don't break into contour bands. It plays in QuickTime, Safari, Premiere, Resolve and Blender. Use the 8-bit dithered option only if something downstream can't read HEVC.

Input Video

Max Process Length (frames; -1 = all)

-1 1000

Target FPS (-1 = original)

-1 30

Max Side Resolution

Output resolution. Separate from inference size.

480 2560

Model Inference Size

518 is standard. Drop to 448 or 392 on OOM.

392 518

MP4 Encoding

10-bit HEVC (no banding — recommended) 8-bit H.264 + dither (plays everywhere)

Depth Normalization

Robust spends more gray levels on the actual scene by clipping extreme outlier pixels.

Full clip range Robust (ignore 0.5% outliers)

Invert (near = black)

Quality (CRF — lower is better / larger)

0 28

Notes

The MP4 is delivered as a file download rather than an inline player on purpose: Gradio's video player re-encodes anything that isn't 8-bit H.264, which would bring the banding right back.

Blender: load as a Movie in an Image Texture, set it to Non-Color, use Cubic interpolation, and run it through Map Range before displacement. Bright = near unless you ticked Invert.
