Feature: Ability to perform frame deduplication interpolation

[kitsumed]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When interpolating a video with a constant frame rate using RIFE, the output stays relatively the same as the original video. This is due to the original static frames being kept.

Describe the solution you'd like To make the video more fluid I was thinking of adding a feature like some other apps (like DAIN and Flowframes) who implemented frame deduplication, a process that scans frames and remove the duplicated ones. The main difficulty I would see is the detection itself as contrary to those two apps, video2x does not extract all of the frames and instead extract and inferences them gradually. I think there would still be a way to process them per batches.

To clarify what you're asking here, is this what you mean:

Following one frame, if subsequent frames are identical to the previous frame, delete it and interpolate it with the next different frame instead.
