Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: memory-efficient inference options (e.g. --subvideo_length default 80) decouple GPU memory from video length; requires CUDA >= 9.2. · locator: README, memory-efficient inference · source: https://github.com/sczhou/ProPainter
- [sourced_fact] README License: 'Non-Commercial Use Only Declaration' - code and models licensed under NTU S-Lab License 1.0; commercial permission via the author. · locator: README, License · source: https://github.com/sczhou/ProPainter
- [sourced_fact] GitHub metadata: not archived, last push 2025-02-19; GitHub reports NOASSERTION for the S-Lab license. · locator: repository metadata · source: https://github.com/sczhou/ProPainter
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
