In the config settings, there are global options (applies to everything globally), model options (applies to specific models), and trainer options.

Do the trainer options apply regardless of model used (meaning, the "Original" trainer has nothing to do with the "Original" model other than the fact that they were the first ones released), or do those options apply selectively? I assume it applies to all models, but I thought I'd ask, to determine if it's worth manually adding some horizontally-flipped sections when I pre-edit my source videos... like, if the subject is mostly front-facing, but glances to the left a few times, I might want to duplicate the "glance" clips with a h-flip if the trainer doesn't already do that in all cases. I guess it might be worth doing anyway, if I want the trainer to have a slightly higher chance of selecting a "side-glance" frame, to better round out the training data.

It does it for all models.

It's structured the way it is as the "original trainer" is a plugin, and it leaves us scope to add other trainers if we ever see a need.

So, yeah, no need to manually process any faces. Also, manually processing is likely to strip the alignment data from the image header, so you probably don't want to be doing that anyway.

Sweet thanks for confirming!

Oh yeah I wasn't talking about manually tweaking the extracted photos, but literally appending some extra flipped clips at the end of the source video (with Kdenlive, say) and then using that as the source for the initial s3fd extract. Since the trainer already does the flipping, doing flipping in the source video is definitely not useful, but duplicating/lengthening/slowing "rare" clips might still add value (e.g. if the person only blinks once, pasting/lengthening the blink might get more "blink" frames selected during training iterations).
