FrameSelect() Plugin for Avisynth v2.5+ by StainlessS.


LAST VERSION FRAMESELECT()
http://www.mediafire.com/download/15mxzii1zeyke9w/FrameSelect_25%2626_dll_v1-03_20130516_LAST.zip

FrameSelect() is a simple plugin to select individual frames from a clip.

Can select frames numbers by direct arguments to filter, or in a string, or in a command file.


Video:- Planar, YUY2, RGB32, RGB24.

Audio:- Returns NO AUDIO (Does not really make sense for individual frames).


FrameSelect(Clip, int F1, ... , int Fn, string 'SCmd',string 'Cmd', bool 'Show', bool 'Ver',bool "Reject")

Compulsory args:

Clip, No Default, source clip.


Optional args: (at least one of the frame select options must be supplied).

F1...Fn Un-named. Zero or more frame numbers.

SCmd, string, Default= "", Not set.
Command String, frame numbers supplied in a string.

Cmd, string, Default= "", Not set.
Command file, frame numbers supplied in a file. Use eg "Select.txt" for command file in your script directory.

Show bool, Default= false.
true = Show info.

ver bool, Default=false.
true = Show version.

Reject bool, Default False. If true then selects frames NOT selected rather than selected frames. New, v1.03.


Either the direct frame numbers, Command string (SCmd), or command file (Cmd) must be supplied.
*** NOTE ***, if more than one supplied, the commands in the Command File are processed
first followed by those in the SCmd String, and finally the directly supplied frame numbers.


NOTE, v1.01 Adds frame ranges to both command file and command string (not possible for directly supplied frame number args).


The 'Cmd' Command file allows one command per line and can contain comments eg:

#------------- # below contents of a text file.
100 # This is a comment
200 # and so is this
300,400 # This is a frame range, specifies all 101 frames between 300 and 400 inclusive.
500,-2 # Specifies 2 frames starting at frame 500, ie 500 and 501.
600,0 # Specifies ALL frames from frame 600 to the end of the source clip.

#-------------

The "SCmd" string accepts more than 1 command per line, but MUST be separated by a semi colon (;).
The Semi colon is processed as a sort of soft newline and will terminate a comment, so you CANNOT
have a semi colon in a comment. eg

SCMD = "
1000 # This is a comment ; 2000 # the 2nd arg is 2000; 3000 # the third arg on a single line.
4000 ; 5000 ; 6000
7000,8000 ; 9000,-2 ; 10000,0 # Frames 7000-8000, 2 frames starting at 9000, and frame 10000 to end of clip.
"

example commands:

FrameSelect(clip, 1,2,3,4,5)
FrameSelect(clip,"100,110;200,-2;300,0")
FrameSelect(clip, 1,2,3,4,5,"100;200;300","Select.txt")
FrameSelect(clip, 1,2,3,4,5,"100;200;300")
FrameSelect(clip, 1,2,3,4,5,"","Select.txt")
FrameSelect(clip,"100;200;300","Select.txt")
FrameSelect(clip,"","Select.txt")

--------------------------------------
v1.02, added:

FrameReplace(Clip,clip, int F1, ... , int Fn, string 'SCmd',string 'Cmd', bool 'Show', bool 'Ver')

Args identical to FrameSelect, with exception of the 2nd clip arg which is a clip of frames to replace into the 1st clip arg.
The other args must be identical to the script that originally extracted the frames.
Replaces frames extracted with FrameSelect(), back into the original clip.
Use the same command args that were used to extract the clip.

I'm terrible with documentation. Would you be able to supply an example with before and after screenshots?

I'm quite interested in this filter :P

[StainlessS]

an example with before and after screenshots?

Screenshots of what?

You supply the clip, and select a number of frames from your clip.


myclip=AviSource("D:\avs\avi\1.avi") # Your clip
Sel=FrameSelect(myclip,10,20,30) # select frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip
return Sel # return frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip


what is there to explain, or require screenshots.

EDIT: Or,


myclip=AviSource("D:\avs\avi\1.avi") # Your clip

SCMD="10;20;30"

Sel=FrameSelect(myclip,scmd=SCMD) # select frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip using command string
return Sel # return frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip



Or

------------- below contents of "cmd.txt" file.
10
20
30
-------------

myclip=AviSource("D:\avs\avi\1.avi") # Your clip
Sel=FrameSelect(myclip,cmd="cmd.txt") # select frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip using command file
return Sel # return frames 10 and 20 and 30 from your clip


Might be useful to say what it is you want to do.

EDIT: Also example usage of FrameReplace()


myclip=AviSource("D:\avs\avi\1.avi") # Your original clip
Sel=AviSource("D:\avs\avi\Sel.avi") # Clip extracted via any of above code snippets, and perhaps edited in paint program

Fixed=FrameReplace(myclip,Sel,10,20,30) # replace 3 frames from Sel clip back into source clip frames 10 and 20 and 30.
return Fixed # return original clip with fixed frames replaced back into source


Can also use command string or command file to match the other FrameSelect snippits, in this case they are ALL equivalent (ie 10,20,30).

[Akai-Shuichi]

I was thinking that this could be used to remove frames with frame burn/crud on scene changes. Like select the ones with the burn/crud on them and then replace with the neighboring frames that don't have them. Although, now that I think about it, screenshots can't really show that lol.

[StainlessS]

OK, well in brief, look at post linked in post#3.

Use the first script to generate command files with "EXTRA=true" to generate PrePre.txt as well as Pre.txt command file.
Pre.txt would be a list of frames before scene changes, PrePre.txt are the frames before those.

What you could then do is to pull out the PrePre frames (two before scene change) and shove them back into where
the Pre frames are (one before scene change).

eg


C=AVISource("D:\avs\Source.avi")
PRE=FrameSelect(C,cmd="PrePre.txt",show=false) # pull out frames 2 before scene change
FIXED=FrameReplace(C,PRE,"Pre.txt",show=false) # shove frames 2 before scene change back into frame immediately before scene change
return FIXED


You could also do similar with frames following scene change using same method (using Post.txt & PostPost.txt).

[StainlessS]

New version FrameSelect v1.03.

Added filter arg, Reject:


FrameSelect(clip,int F1, ... , int Fn, string 'SCmd',string 'Cmd', bool 'Show', bool 'Ver',bool "Reject"=False)

Reject bool, Default False. If true then selects frames NOT selected rather than selected frames. New, v1.03.


See 1st post.

[osgZach]

This would be better served if it came with a GUI for marking frames to be acted upon and built the "cmd.txt" files by parsing those values. Otherwise this can already be accomplished with Avisynth and arguably, with a similar level of work..

On the other hand, its nice to see people still developing filters that actually do something new

[Bernardd]

Hello,
Have you tried AvsPmod Macro ConditionalReaderFile from Bookmarks ?
A big part of job can be made with it. You have after to adjust the file text to Stainless plugin with a text editor.

[StainlessS]

@Bernardd

What format does AvsPmod Macro use ?

@osgZach
I'm not a Windows Programmer, anyone is free to write such a GUI (even you).

[Bernardd]

Stainless,

AvsPmod Macro use python.

Thus, ConditionalReader file from bookmarks macro is act in ConditionalReader file from bookmarks.py file
Down the ConditionalReader file from bookmarks.py script

Begin

# Write the ConditionalReader file
value_default = value.strip()
text = ['Type {0}\n'.format(type)]
if default: text.append(u'Default {0}\n'.format(default.strip()))
if bm_meaning == _('Single frames'):
for frame, title in bmlist:
text.append(u'{0} {1}\n'.format(frame,
title.strip() if use_title and title else value_default))
else:
if len(bmlist) % 2 and not avsp.MsgBox(_('Odd number of bookmarks'),
title=_('Warning'), cancel=True):
return
prefix = 'R' if bm_meaning == _('Ranges of frames') else 'I'
for i, bm in enumerate(bmlist):
if i%2:
value = None
if use_title:
if bmlist[i-1][1]:
value = bmlist[i-1][1].strip()
if bm[1]:
if value and bm_meaning != _('Ranges of frames'):
value += ' ' + bm[1].strip()
else:
value = bm[1].strip()
if not value:
value = value_default
else:
value = value_default
text.append(u'{0} {1} {2} {3}\n'.format(
prefix, bmlist[i-1][0], bm[0], value))
text = [line.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()) for line in text]
with open(filename, 'w') as file:
file.writelines(text)
if insert_path:
avsp.InsertText(u'"{0}"'.format(filename), pos=None)

End

I am not able to write a AvsPmod macro.
The ConditionalReader file from bookmarks macro product a txt file with header in accordance with ConditionalReader file.

I hope my answer solve your interrogation.

[StainlessS]

Sorry Bernardd, I was a little unclear, I was referring to this line

You have after to adjust the file text to Stainless plugin with a text editor

ie format of macro output text file.

[Bernardd]

For me, AvsPmod is a smart and wonderful Gui in purpose to write and param adjust in Avisynth's scripts. I thanks his authors.

With AvsPmod Bookmarks function is easy to fixe video frames of interest. The ConditionalReader file from bookmarks macro give the list of frame numbers in one txt file. With text editor and or csv editor, it is easy to modify header of text file and or attribute for framenumber.

Today the macro output format is in accordance with Avisynth Conditional Reader help documentation. For example

Type Bool
Default False
25 True
27 True
34 True
40 True
49 True
57 True
58 True
59 True
70 True
80 True
89 True

The big job is to write one by one the frame number. I thinks, sometimes modify a text file is more faster.

[StainlessS]

Thank you Bernardd.

It should be pretty straightforward to script a conversion avs using RT_Stats to read either one line at a time or whole file into a string,
and process them (skipping first two lines) and use Value to get line number, and output result to new file Append=true.
Finally when done, return some kind of MessageClip.

Would require GScript().

Does AvsPMod have anything that allows setting of clip Ranges rather than single frames ?

EDIT: No need to answer last question, I've just looked up ConditionalReader, some time since I last looked at it.

[StainlessS]

Bernardd, would you like to give this a bit of a try out.

Not had a lot of testing, I'll probably do a plug conversion.

EDITED:

[Bernardd]

OK, i try. But debrieffing only to-morrow

[Bernardd]

Hello Stainless,

I understand that script target is to convert ConditionalReader file in FrameSelect file. This files are not video file. But the script is avs script.
So i undrestand the firt input must be anybody video file. When in running, the script must say error, if no Conditional Reader file is given.

Now, the script is not ok for me. I have not error message if i forget to indicate Conditional reader file to convert.

I believe, it is quote marks problem in Gscript function, too more or too few. I have tried to change some quote marks without success.

Sorry

[StainlessS]

Ahr, previous try had a few problems not least of which was that FrameSelect does not allow SPACE
separator for a range (ClipClop and Prune do [I forgot], next version FS will do, already fixed but not released).

This version a bit more robust, I hope.

Previous post #16 updated.

EDIT: The script is in AVS, simply because it might take me a few hours to get back "in-to" VB or whatever,
and it also might be advantageous to be able to convert in-situ, 'on-the-fly'. (as in new 1st code snippet) Eventually will be plugin.

Hello,
I apologize. In previous post #18, i have not understood this particular avs file use, thus i have found quote mark problem.
To day, is ok.
The previous post #16 updated script is good, no problem. Whole item, framenumber only, framenumber range, offset are well translated. Blank line and comments are not processed (like in conditional reader file after a little test).
I have tried the last lines (frameselect) on a personal clip, with personal conditional reader file. The test was success.
Well done.

Be aware though that FrameSelect selects all frames in the order specified ie 10,20,30,20,10 (line separated in file) would select 5 frames
whereas I think ConditionalReader only 3. When Reject=True, will select all frames NOT Specified, but in sequential order. Reject mode
was implemented purely for the Security Camera Movement Extraction thing, just to see what was being left out.
Maybe I'll add option to do as CR.

Post #16 updated added Comment pass through.

StainlessS,

Post #16 updated script with added Comment pass through is ok on my computer.

I do not see a big interest for the frame select in a unsequential order. Perhaps to make effect, like loop. Why not ?

With your last script, it is possible to use AvsPmod and his macro to have a GUI to make a human visual frame selection. It is nice.

But for me the FrameSelect plugin big interest is to associate process with one automatic frame select action. With your explanation on Reject Mode, i understand you intend to make Security Camera Movement Extraction.
Me, i see FrameSelect plugin with Reject Mode like a new Decimate tool, perhaps because i know write a script to list dupplicated frames with WriteFileIf Avisynth function.
Probably other people will see other uses.

Thus your plugin is efficient and open use. It is perfect like this.

Thanks

I'm modifying FrameSelect right now to do an optional ordered selection, yes maybe better for GUI use.
It was however a deliberate decision to select all frames and in the order given, that will remain the default mode.

As for the Security Camera Movement Extraction thing, it's included together with RT_Stats v1.17, see here:

EDIT: And ordered FrameReplace, which maybe should always be used if intention is to replace (or select order should
be automated to be sequential with no duplicates).

I've pretty much implemented the ordered mode for FrameSelect/Replace, but spent many times longer
trying to figure out what rules to apply. Have come to conclusion that is better to abandon FrameSelect/Replace
as is and leave on-line for maybe 1 month longer.

New Version will be called something like FrameSel/FrameRep, starting at version v2.0 and being the more restricted
ordered mode by default. FrameRep will I think have to use ordered mode ALWAYS and so frame selection destined
to be replaced, should always be called with default ordered=True.

In hindsight more restrictive ordered mode should have been default from the start, with non-ordered being an option,
in order not to break any scripts it is necessary to rename the plugin. All scripts that I've posted on D9 should still work by simply
renaming FrameSelect to FrameSel and FrameReplace to FrameRep.

There will be no further development of FrameSelect, unless someone flags a bug.

A new thread will be created for the new plugin.

Oh, it is developing in the meantime... :D

Big thanks from the original requester, fapalo. He mentioned having taken single photos (possibly for a kind of time-lapse video) with unequal time gaps, more than 1000.

Yep, I saw the Google translation of fapalo's post.
