Instructions for making a Neural-Style movie

The following instructions are for creating your own animations using the style transfer technique described by Gatys, Ecker, and Bethge, and implemented by Justin Johnson. To see an example of such an animation, see this video of Alice in Wonderland re-styled by 17 paintings.

Setting up the environment

The easiest way to set up the environment is to simply load Samim's a pre-built Terminal.com snap or use another cloud service like Amazon EC2. Unfortunately the g2.2xlarge GPU instances cost $0.99 per hour, and depending on parameters selected, it may take 10-15 minutes to produce a 512px-wide image, so it can cost $2-3 to generate 1 sec of video at 12fps.

If you do load the

I have two user accounts set up on my mac. User drew I use for most things, but if I'm making a screencast I'll switch to the demo user. I know that the demo user has a clean desktop, and the font size is larger than usual in my terminal and text editors, making everything a bit more legible when capturing the screen. When I record a screencast as the demo user, I save the file to /Users/Shared/screencasts. As I understand it, the /Users/Shared directory is supposed to be accessible to all user accounts on the mac. If I created and saved a screenflow document as the demo user, I should be able to read and write that file when logged in as user drew.

That was the theory, but it didn't always work out that well in practice. I would occasionally find that a directory was only writable by one user or the other. Perhaps I'd open a screenflow document as user drew and attempt to export the video to the same directory, only to find that the directory was owned by demo, meaning that I couldn't cr

	Copy folder Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Mac/Application/Command Line Tool.xctemplate folder
	to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Custom/

	Modifity the plist to the following. Scroll down when choosing new project template and should be there in Custom area.

	The trick is this:
	<key>Project</key>
	<dict>
	<key>SharedSettings</key>
