I just recently started using Avisynth (read all the FAQ/intro pages, etc.), and I'm just getting used to the concept of filtering video. Sometimes, it's hard for me to figure out how I should tweak filters, or what filters to use (e.g., hmm, the colors look pretty good, but something is off... and I can't tell what it is).
As a moderate noob when it comes to Avisynth, I'd really appreciate it if people could post what tools, tricks, or tips they've found useful. Even something as simple as, "I find Interleave to be good under these situations," or "Subtract is what I primarily use" is useful for someone who has very little practical experience.
To give some examples of gems I've found while crawling the forum and the Internet:
1.) Subtract is very useful. When I first read about Subtract, I didn't think it was that good. However, I saw a lot of people using it, sometimes in conjunction with Levels, to highlight the differences a filter makes.
2.) for color correction, someone mentioned that cranking up the saturation by a factor of 2 can make subtle inaccuracies obvious. Example: a white tablecloth looks white, but is a bit off..... set Tweak(sat=2.0), see it's actually tinged slightly yellow, adjust the colors, and remove the tweak code.
Any and all are appreciated :thanks:
(P.S. AVISynth's Tips and Tricks webpage seemed to address very specific issues as opposed to general filtering tips).
