Documentation can be found here (http://avslib.sourceforge.net/), and discussion here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=100577). For AviSynth v2.56 (or later)) there is a patch (AVSLib 1.0.1) which can be used.

LBKiller (by esby) (http://esby.free.fr/): (1) corrects specifical frames in a video via GIMP (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) or Adobe Photoshop (or any other image editing program) editing of png/jpg/bmp captured frames, and avs script generation, using frame freezing. Thus your favourite image editing program can now be used to edit captured frames with this utility. (2) generate ecf according to scenechange & ssa script. discussion (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80859). Esby, when are you going to write documentation about this ?

cfr2tc/tc2cfr and gui (hybrid stuff <-> 120 fps-avi; requires NET framework 1.1):
Discussion (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=759253#post759253). The first utility takes an avi file with a video stream containing null frames and outputs a new avi file containing the same video stream, but with all null frames removed and a v1 or v2 timecode file. It also has timecode file only modes that create the timecode file but do not create a new avi file. The second utility turns an avi file (with each frame present once) into a new avi file with null frames with the specified framerate and a v1 or v2 timecode file specifying the display length for each individual frame.

it's a function, not a plug-in

[unmei]

there is a new version of PicSubU (http://homepage.hispeed.ch/mieru/etc/picsubu_test_4.rar).

It's still called "test", but i hope the bugs are now all fixed (not counting possible problems in the usf rasteriser as that is a work-in-progess for probably a couple of months to come..)

OT: that's my child, not Kurtnoise's :)

[Wilbert]

My french is very bad, so I didn't bother to read everything carefully :)

btw, what happened to the french forum unite-video.com ? I can't access it anymore.

[unmei]

i don't know, i wasn't reading that..
i assume it's the place the link in the list pointed to?
i got redirected when i clicked that today, but i couldn't find the post in the new place (it was there a week or so ago) so i think the redirection points to something completly different(?)..

[edit] in the post there wasn't mentioned explicitly that the filter is from me anyway - that's only in the rar and derivable from the fact kurtnoise quoted a part of the help with "unmei wrote" :)

I have authored a transition plugin TransAll(which has over 25 functions) , a Effects Plugin EffectsMany ( having over 25 functions) and a Animated Album plugin HollywoodSq(3 functions) for Avisynth and are available at neuron2 site. Do I need to put up a note here for each of the plugin functions?

[Wilbert]

@vcmohan,

Yes, that would be great! Then I will merge it with the first post.

@vcmohan,

You have asked for it! Below is the Transall plugin writeup. I will putin the EffectsMany and Hollywoodsq plugins later.

TransAll plugin for Avisynth. This plugin is available for down load at http://www.avisynth.org\vcmohan[\url] and at [url]www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises web site , without any warranties in a as is state and is free to use. The down load file consists of the plugin dll and a usage description document in word format. This plugin has at the moment 25 functions. Since each function parameters can be chosen over 150 variations of the transitions can be obtained. During the transition the audio of the Left Clip gradually fades away while simultaneously audio of Right Clip fades in.

. The plugin dll file may be kept in the avisynth2.5 plugin directory for automatic loading If placed in any other user directory, then a load plugin call in the script is required. The two input video files, overlap in number of frames are the first three parameters which must be specified for these functions. All other parameters have default values for ease of use.
The names of the functions and a brief description of the action are as follows:


1. TransAccord. Left Clip opens out revealing the Right Clip or the Right Clip closes over the Left Clip in an Accordion Type folding. Single or Twin sections, open or close in vertical or horizontal direction can be opted.

2. TransCentral. Right (second) clip emerges from left clip or left clip disappears into Right clip. While emerging or disappearing the frame is resized to fit and or rotated by desired number of turns clock or anti clock wise.

3. TransCrumple. This function crumples or fanfolds (as one does with paper) Left Clip over the Right Clip thus revealing Right Clip or uncrumples (unfolds) Right Clip over Left Clip thus masking Left Clip.

4. TransDisco. Right (second) clip emerges over the Left(First)clip or the Left Clip disappears into Right Clip as circular Disks and rotate during transition. Radius of discs, Emerge or disappear and number and direction of rotation are options.

5. TransFlipPage. Left (first) clip is flipped
either left or right or up or down as viewing in an album
revealing Right Clip

6. TransFlipTurn. Right Clip (the second Clip) emerges flipping vertically and horizontally and rotating while gradually replacing the Left Clip. The number of times to flip horizontally, vertically and number of turns to effect in clock or anticlockwise are other parameters. Vertical and horizontal flips acan be considered as rotations about x and y axis, while turning is around z axis and therefore this is a 3d rotation transition.

7. TransFunnel. This function funnels out(wraps around a funnel shape) the Left Clip (the First Clip) and reveals the Right(the second) Clip while moving in any of the 4 directions.

8. TransMarbles. Over Left Frame, Right Frame appears as gradually enlarging circular. Magnification in the disks produces the effect of viewing through glass marble. If drop is true the magnification in the discs vary from center to edges, otherwise remain constant through. Radius of discs, magnification and whether drop effect is required can be specified.

9. TransPaint. This function, from pieces of Right Clip frame, builds a fence or a brick wall or paint with brush strokes or draws rings over left clip and completes the build by the end of transition. May be TransBuild would be a more appropriate name. The style of build can be specified.

10. TransPeel. Left (first) clip rolls and optionally pulls out revealing Right Clip. The roll is given a center shading if shade is +ve number, or edges shaded more if shade is a –ve number. If shade is zero no shading is done. If pull is true the roll remains stationary and image is pulled into the roll. Otherwise the roll moves in any of the four directions.

11. TransRipple. A gradually increasing water ripple covers fully the Left Clip by 1/3 of transition (overlap) length. Thereafter the Right Clip emerges in the center as a growing Ripple fully covering frame by 2/3 of overlap length. This ripple then subsides (withdraws) revealing the Right Clip. The wave length lambda and wave height can be specified.

12. TransScratch. Right (second) clip gradually is revealed by scratching the left Clip image, in a desired style similar to scratch cards. Falling rain, tv noise, water fountain, laser beams, dust storm, O Rings, horizontal lines, vertical lines and merging are the styles currently available.

13. TransShuffle. Left (first) clip moves out on top, while Right Clip moves from below in opposite direction halfway, then Right clip moves back to the top position while left clip slides under in opposite direction resembling movement of shuffling of cards. Four directions of shuffling are possible.

14. TransSlantRollIn. Right (second) clip rolls in along diagonals as a carpet over the Left(First)clip, masking it. Roll diameter, style of shading and the direction (four) of rolling are the parameters that can be specified.

15. TransSlantRollOue. Left (first) clip rolls out along the diagonals as a carpet over the Right (second) clip revealing it. Roll diameter, style of shading and the direction (four) of rolling are the parameters that can be specified.

16. TransSlantWipe. Right (second) clip wipes over the Left(First)clip along the diagonal in the direction specified.

17. TransSlideIn. Right (second) clip slides in over Left Clip. If center is selected then leftt clip disappears towards the center of Right Clip shrinking in all directions. Any of 8 directions or center can be opted.

18. TransSlideOut. Left clip slides out in the selected direction revealing Right Clip. If center is opted, then the right clip gradually emerges out from frame center.

19. TransSprite. Right (second) clip squeezes out left clip thereby appearing like a rotating sprite, exhibiting different faces. Movement can be specified as any of four possible directions.

20. TransSwing. Right (second) clip swings in or the left clip swings out as doors hinged at corners, thereby fully revealing or assembling the Right Clip. The number of doors can be one (single door attached at the selected corner swings out or in), two (twin doors hinged at opposite corners swing) and four (4 doors each at a corner swing).

21. TransSwirl. A gradually increasing swirl that covers fully the Left Clip by 1/3 overlap length is created. Thereafter the Right Clip emerges in the center as a growing Swirl fully covering frame by 2/3 overlap length. This Swirl then subsides (withdraws) over the Right Clip thus revealing it. The swirling can be clockwise or anticlockwise. The coarseness of depicting swirl can be specified.

22. TransTwinDoors. Twin vertical or Horizontal doors made out of Left Frame open or those made out of Right Frame close revealing Right Frame.

23. TransVenetianBlinds. In this transition vertical or Horizontal slats open (as Venetian blinds do) revealing Right Frame. Instead of linear blinds, checks or diamond pattern can also be opted. Pattern width can also be specified.

24. TransWeave. Interleaving together thin strips of Right frame over the left frame the transition occurs. The interleaving styles options are horizontal, vertical, jigsaw puzzle and basket weave.

25. Right Frame wipes away Left Frame in any of the possible four directions.

Sorry I made a mistake. The url of the site where this TransAll.dll plugin is hosted is http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises I have revised a few of the functions and also modified the documentation and just today sent the new zip file to warp for replacing.

edit Wilbert: corrected url

[vcmohan]

The synopsis of functions of the EffectsMany plugin follows. The Zip file now is large as I included example images for many functions:-
This Plugin is hosted at www.avisynth.org\vcmohan and also at www.avisynth.org\warpenterprises and is available for free download and usage in the as is condition without any warranties. As on date there are 27 functions in this plugin.. The zip file consists of a usage descriptive document and the plugin dll.
1. EffectBinoculars: This creates twin circular discs with identical magnified image from an area situated midway between the discs.
2. EffectConez: The image is wrapped over either a vertical or a horizontal cone, top and base diameters of which can be specified. The image is either fully wrapped from start to end or progressively the cone takes shape.
3. EffectDiscoLights: Multicolored light spots flash and move over the image. Parameters control the size, direction, type and speed of movement of light spots.
4. EffectLens: A circular area is magnified with uniform magnification or with magnification varying from center to edge. The center of the disc can be moved during the effect..
5. EffectFiguredGlass: number of circular discs with image inside distorted spherically giving impression of looking through a figured glass.
6. EffectLineMagnifier: Magnifies either a vertical or Horizontal strip of image. The magnifier can be moved across image.
7. EffectRain: Adds rain to the image. The rain can be light, medium, heavy, increasing from light to heavy or decrease from heavy to light. The color of rain, their opacity can be specified. The direction of rain fall can be varied during the effect.
8. EffectRainbow: Adds a rainbow to the image centered at the specified coordinates and with a given radius. The center coordinates and radius can be linearly varied in the range. Left and right cut off of rainbow display can be specified and varied during effect.
9. EffectRipple: A ripple is created over the image centered at the specified coordinates and growing up to given radius.
10. EffectRotation: Rotates the image or part of it with given radius through given angle. Can be used to rotate scanned images or as an effect.
11. EffectSnowStorm: Swirling white particles of snow are created on the image. The snow can be either light, medium or heavy or increase from light to heavy or decrease from heavy to light.
12: EffectSnowFlakes: creates big or small size snow flakes that drift in wind and fall down. The dense (ness) of snow, drift %age, the falling speed (%age) and whether big or small flakes can be opted.
13. EffectSpotLight: This function illuminates a specified circular disc area. The illumination (color and strength) can be specified and remains constant. The spot center moves during effect.
14. EffectStream: This function creates the effect of a flowing water stream across the image.. The stream flow can be either vertical or horizontal. Freq of flow, Stream breadth, wavelength, axis (stream axis) coordinate are the parameters.
15. EffectSwirl: Swirls the image centered at the specified coordinates and up to a given maximum radius. The swirl starts from zero and increases to full in the first 1/3 of frames, remains at this size for the next 1/3 and reduces to zero in the last 1/3 length of clip.
16. EffectUnderWater: This function creates the effect of the image floating on a pool of water. Slowness of sashay, number of cells and wave height as %age of cell dimension are the parameters.
17. EffectDistort: This function distorts the image. The distortion can be either vertical or horizontal.
18. EffectFireWorks1: This function generates multi colored light beams in parabolic trajectories from given x and y coordinates.
19. EffectSunFlower: This function generates radially expanding colored light beams in the sky and which finally fall back as in the fireworks.
20. EffectFlowerpot: This function generates multi colored glowing embers in parabolic trajectories from given point, resembling Flower Pot Fire Works (as popularly known in India).
21. EffectSparkler: generates multi colored flashing flowers around a thin pencil like object known as the Firework Sparkler. The sparkler burns from start to end during the range of the effect.
22. EffectRockets: This function generates rocket fire works firing off at regular intervals and displays the glowing embers.
23. EffectFlashes: During the first seconds generates smoke filled area. Thereafter a series of light flashes occur in the smoke filled portion. This effect resembles Ariel flashing fire works.
24. EffectBalloon: This function creates a balloon of desired color and opacity and which hops.
25. EffectBubbles: creates soap bubbles in myriad colors emanating at selected point, that travel in different paths and speeds.
26. EffectTreasureHunt: The image is scanned or fully processed using the code and sieve parameters to bring out hidden features. This is just for fun.
27. EffectFog: Creates fog on the image.
28. EffectTVLook: This function creates an old crt TV set type image from the second clip and places at the specified location and having the specified size.

Reform Plugin:
Available at http://www.avisynth.org\vcmohan[\url] and at [url]www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises a freeware.

When shooting a video of a painting or a photograph if the camera is not exactly centered the resulting image is skewed. A rectangle becomes a quadrilateral. Correction of this distortion is possible with this plugin. This has two functions: Deskew and skew. As the name suggests Deskew corrects a quadrilateral to a rectangle while skew reverses this. It is essential to get the quadrilateral corner coordinates. I managed to get by first using image writer and opening in Irfanviewer. There may be a faster and better way, I hope.
The documentation includes sample images and a quality indication.
As I had to use this to correct my video image I thought others may also need it some time.

Grid Plugin a freeware, available for download at http://www.avisynth.org/vcmohan[\url] and at [url]www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises
Grid plugin creates a rectangular grid over the image in the range of specified frames. Grid intervals, line colors etc can be varied. Since in Reform plugin I found great use for this , this is also included as a function in Reform package.


I mentioned in an earlier post on Reform plugin that I needed a tool to measure coordinates on a frame and I had to resort to a round about method. I could not find a simpler route so I authored this plugin Grid. Hope some others may find use.

[vcmohan]

A new plugin FanFilter is now available for free download athttp://www.avisynth.org/vcmohan[\url] and at [url]www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises . This plugin tries to remove regular frequency interference in video (sometimes seen while capturing a weak TV signal) that appears as inclined bars on image. There is a discussion on this in this forum under topic "How to remove diagonal bars from video?"

I have just posted 5 new plugins along with their documentation. A short description of them and functions included are as follows:
ColorIt (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#ColorIt) :- This plugin has a collection of 14 functions which are useful in coloring a black and white image or recoloring a colored image. The functions in this plugin are:

1. GaussBlur: The input image, grey scale or color, has noise and removing it enables better mask generation. GaussBlur smoothes image by convolving image with Gaussian separable coefficients.
2. MaskMaker. Creates a white or black mask depending upon the grey scale values of the image.
3. EMarker. Creates a white or black mask using various edge detection methods.
4. Morpher. Erosion, dilation, opening, closing thinning, salt & pepper,ridges and valleys functions are included. Some troublesome parts in a mask like thin strands connecting or radiating from objects etc can be got rid off by these standard morphing techniques.
5. SharpEdge. Creates pixel wide edge masks(required for coloring) or creates gradient image (useful for watershed segmentation).
6. Shift. Shifts the grey value of all pixels in an enclosed area by an amount.
7. Stretch. Stretches all values in an enclosed area by a percentage.
8. ColorDrops. Color fills masked areas, given seed points.
9. ColorLines. Colors pixel thin lines with given color
10.ColorBrush. Color fills all white (or all black) areas in a mask along a line.
11.Inlay. Color fills all areas specified by a combination of lines and masks
12.Drawlines. Draws lines on frames for limiting colorfill and other functions.
13. Pallet. While preserving original Grey scale, the finally seen color may appear to be different to that specified. This happens as only the Chromacity values of the given color is used. To get a feel of the actual values, this pallet function is useful. Also useful for cleaning input clip for watershed or recoloring work.
14. CrossFill. Using two masks coloring is done depending upon logical AND, OR and XOR values.

AdaptiveMedian (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#AdaptiveMedian) : This plugin function filters noise by finding minimum, maximum and median values of a local grid and expanding to a limiting maximum size for for getting better statistics.Useful for filtering salt and pepper noise.

DeNoise (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#DeNoise) : This plugin function, using global and local variance adaptively filters the noise from image. Also useful for cleaning input clip for watershed or recoloring work.

Watershed (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#Watershed) : This plugin function treating the image values as elevation, segments the image by drawing watershed lines and individual basins.

NeuralNet (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#NeuralNet) : This plugin implements a 3 layer classification type Artificial Neural Network. Has been tested on an edge detection task.

[vcmohan]

I have just posted a new plugin for Avisynth HistogramAdjust (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1741646&postcount=1)

This as the name implies adjusts the histogram of a frame by either equalization, or by matching or by duping with another histogram. For match or dupe options, histogram can be input as a table of values or extracted from a frame of any clip.

Full frame as well as windowed options are available.


The plugin works for RGB, YUY2 and Planar formats only.

[Guest]

Your work would be more valuable to the community if you would post the source code.

[vcmohan]

Your work would be more valuable to the community if you would post the source code.
It was included.

[Guest]

Oh, thanks. Not to be picky, but perhaps you can release code for all your filters?

[Fizick]

DeNoise!
At last somebody dared to use this "very informative" name! :)

[vcmohan]

Oh, thanks. Not to be picky, but perhaps you can release code for all your filters?
Yes there are a few for which I did not include source code, mainly because I have a few ideas to make the functions better and it takes some time to make the changes. Meanwhile I do get ideas for a new plugin and distracted. For instance the NeuralNet at present works with Logistic activation function only. I am working to include tanh, gauss and elliot sigmoids. Once I complete that I will post it. So also for others.

[Guest]

Thank you. Your contributions to the video community are appreciated!

[vcmohan]

The NeuralNet (http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#NeuralNet) plugin is revamped. It now includes NeuralNetBP and NeuralNetRP. BP is for standard back propogation and RP is for Resilient Propogation RPROP (after Reidmiller and Braun). These functions now have option for logistic, alogistic, tanh, atanh, gauss, elliot and evero sigmoids for activation. Both are for classification. The first frame output has diagnostic plots of histogram and error (or any other parameter opted) to be displayed with iteration during training.
The source files are included along with compiled dll and usage html documentation.

[Poutnik]

AdaptiveMedian (http://www.Avisynth.org/warpenterprises/#AdaptiveMedian) : This plugin function filters noise by finding minimum, maximum and median values of a local grid and expanding to a limiting maximum size for for getting better statistics.Useful for filtering salt and pepper noise..
It looks like similar to Removegrain, extending size behind 3x3 grid....

[vcmohan]

FQuiver :A new plugin isavailable for download . This plugin works in frequency domain, and has two functions FQ1Row and FQ2d.

1. FQ1Row filters data row by row of image using one dimensiona fft. It has a number of gaussian, butterworth filters which can be cascaded. In addition a filter can be custom designed.

2. FQ2d transforms whole image using 2d fft. It has Gaussian and butterworth filters.

Documentation includes some examples of application. and filters.

[Wilbert]

Just send Sh0dan a pm. I guess i forgot to download it (before he changed from provider) and include it in the rest of the package.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

From where I can download mergechroma denoise filter?

[Boulder]

MergeChroma is an internal Avisynth function. It's not a denoiser by itself.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

I don't know, but when I creating AVS script in MeGUI, and want to choose denoise, under "little" value, MeGUI shows that I need mergechroma denoiser.

[foxyshadis]

It's a utility function that you can use with real denoisers (or sharpeners, or anything else) to apply different settings to luma and chroma. It has nothing to do with denoising on its own.

[Wilbert]

added:

AviSynth Front is a frontend for AviSynth 2.5. It is not intended to be a full featured editor for AviSynth scripts, but rather focuses on ease of use and simplification of everyday tasks. It uses templates that you assemble into a script and then apply to a video or a list file.

You can download it from: http://users.volja.net/arakar/andrej/software/avsfront23.zip

[vcmohan]

I have added two new plugins for image enhancement. These are :

1. SegmentedAmp : using watershed segmentation to deliniate basins, smoothing is done within basins. Also visual sharpening can be obtained by accentuating boundaries of basins.

2. ReTouch Using watershed basin deliniation and flood fill algorithms, individual basin amplitudes are stretched or shifted or highest value or lowest value of basin substituted. With this image enhancement or a transition effect can be got.

[vcmohan]

One more plugin added.
DeSaltPepper Based on morphology technique, salt and pepper type impulsive noise is deleted. Any point which has a value above or below the average of nearest neighbours plus tolerance is regarded as noise and replaced by either average or lowest or highest of neighbourhood values. In case of average value replacement a feedback processing is provided. This feedback process seems to work only for YUY2 and YV12 formats but not for RGB formats for some reason unknown to me.

[vcmohan]

For removal of mpeg noise I have been working with several ideas. My one of concerns is exissting ones are slow and are very harsh on the chroma. I have the following new plugins which are designed to be gentle.
NirMalam: An adaptive noise attenuator using the global and local statistics operates in RGB, YUY2 and YV12 formats. Options to select any chroma or luma for filtering is available. NirMalm in Sanskrit means Clean, pure etc.

DeVeed: This plugin tries to predict pixel value and filters the difference between the predicted and actual value. Operates on RGB, YUY2 and YV12 formats.

WeedFN; This plugin examines the smoothness of the image along the horizontal and vertical and filters noise as per the limits provided. Works in RGB32, YUY2 and YV12 formats.

[vcmohan]

FQSharp : -A new plugin to deconvolve ( deblur or restore) images that have blur due to movement of camera while shutter is open. Requires any one of libfftw3f-3.dll or fftw3.dll or fftw3f.dll to be present in the path (system32 folder).

This has 3 working functions:
FQBlur :- blurs an image either in an camera out of focus style or in motion blur style. The blur can be localised to be within rectangular or oval shaped window, which in turn can linearly translate in the clip.

FQVisual:- Blur present in a rectangular window is analysed and results displayed for visually estimating the type and amount of blur present.

FQRestore:- Given the type and amount of blur, inverts in frequency domain to restore the image. Parameters to limit ringing and instability can be specified.

A new version 2.4 of AviSynth Front is available. It adds proper look and feel under Vista and HD video support.

AviSynth Front is a frontend for AviSynth 2.5. It is not intended to be a full featured editor for AviSynth scripts, but rather focuses on ease of use and simplification of everyday tasks. It uses templates that you assemble into a script and then apply to a video or a list file.

Seamer (http://www.avisynth.org/vcmohan) :- Seamer resizes an image by identifying seams through different metrics and carves them out. It has two functions TRSeamer and WSSeamer. Both work in unsupervised mode only.

Seam carving is unlikely to be used in regular video processing, but due to enormous interest generated an attempt is made. These are very slow.

Works in RGB color space only.

GScript is a plugin that extends the Avisynth scripting language to provide additional control-flow constructs:
- multi-line conditionals (if-then-else blocks);
- 'while' loops;
- 'for' loops.

Rather than trying to simulate these constructs with functions, GScript effectively extends the language syntax, making it easy to use the new constructs in a natural way and in arbitrary combinations.

Hi Wilbert,

New version Filter ExBlend() v1.02b. Date 07/Oct/2010

New Thread Here: (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157337) or download via sig.

YUY2, YV12 Progressive source.

Avisynth v2.5+ filter for detecting pairs of blends and replacing them with
a pair of IDENTICAL un-blended frames. (Requires MultiDecimate decimation).

The filter is specific to a particular type of blending, where the source
was 24 FPS Progressive, and converted to 30 FPS (eg Film to Video CD) by
blending as in below:-

A B C D # 24 FPS Source (6 blocks of 4 frames = 24 FPS)

A B cb cd D # Blended to 30 FPS (6 blocks of 5 frames = 30 FPS)

The original frame C was thrown away, leaving a repeated sequence of 3
good frames and 2 blended frames. The framerate may then have been
slowed by 0.1% to 29.97 FPS for NTSC (American) color TV standards.

The filter will also deal with similarly blended 25 FPS to 30 FPS video
in which case the blending would be as below:-

A B C D E # 25 FPS Source (5 blocks of 5 frames = 25 FPS)

A B cb cd D E # Blended to 30 FPS (5 blocks of 6 frames = 30 FPS)

ExBlend() recovers the frame that was thrown away, from the pair of blends and
does not rely on the clip staying in sequence. It is quite easy to set up,
(works pretty gud out of the box).

ColorYUV2() v1.0 Chroma Gamma Fix by Stainless Stephen (StainlessS on Doom9)
Creates DLL as ColorYUV() but named ColorYUV2().

This plugin (ColorYUV2) is a slight modification of the great ColorYUV.

ColorYUV() does not actually implement chroma Gamma correction, and so the example
in Avisynth docs has never worked (Still does not as of v2.5.8). It is taken as a
parameter (gamma_u & gamma_v) and stored somewhere, but pretty much forgotten after that.
For chroma, a large +ve gamma produces an input/output graph shape a bit like an S
(the top half looks just like large +ve luma gamma), sort of like this:-
_
/
_/
It pushes chroma outwards from the mid chroma point (128), but in smaller steps the
further away from the mid point it orginally was.

and a large -ve gamma like this:-

__/
/
It pulls chroma inwards towards the chroma mid point, but in bigger steps the further
away from mid point it originally was.

Try out large (eg +100) for one or both gamma_u and gamma_v for some nice effects that
you have never got before from colorYUV().


ColorYUV2(), Uses alternative text rendering method to render text for Analyze=true,
if you dont like this then just use coloryuv() instead.

ColoYUV2() is not meant as a replacement for ColorYUV(), mearly a stop gap for the
chroma gamma correction until the fix is implemented directly in Avisynth.


ALL Args (and most code) identical as Avisynth ColorYUV()

There is not a good way to compute Y'Cb'Cr', since gamma is a RGB concept. See: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=110439

@Wilbert,

This post can be deleted. Thankyou.

[mantis2k]

With ColorYUV2, I was able to increase the saturation on my blood red washed out source, using Gamma_u, but instead of the red coming back there is lot's of blue "sparks" (same with TMPGEnc YUV Gamma correction slider). Therefore, those new functions do seem useful, but there is always a trade off with any video treatment.

[Gavino]

It seems that I have stepped in something nasty, the developers seem not to want such a function. Perhaps I should make ColorYUV2(), go away. :)
The function you have implemented seems useful - perhaps you could just rename the parameters to something other than 'gamma'. ;)

[StainlessS]

@Gavino,

Have been a little busy of late, but renamed gamma_u and gamma_v to spow_u and spow_v.
(well, moved functionality to, rather than renamed). Also added args of ramp_u and ramp_v
which implement the identical equivalent of gamma_y for chroma. I managed to resist the
stong urge to call them gamma_u & v again. These two new ramp_x functions are intended
to allow non linear fixes for bad chroma, I thought it might be a good idea based on something
a fellow said in the link provided by Wilbert. Anyway, the eg ramp_u and spow_u can be combined
and together with off, gain, cont, can produce a lot of weird shaped graphs. Have also added
spow_y functionality, thought that it could not do any harm. Small problem though with spow_y,
if in range 16-235, mid point is not 128 but about 126, I have not bothered about this, dont seem
worth any worry. Could maybe mess with this based on whether coring or PC->TV were called for.
Also, PC->TV is actually done before number mangling is applied, to convert to 16-235 before eg
gamma_y does not seem correct in order to me. Would seem better to have TV->PC before and
PC->TV after mangling. (lut creation) Anyways, maybe you have some thoughts on the 126/128
thing or anything else here said. If you wanna see the ramp_x (gamma_y) and spow_x being
combined with off_x gain_x and cont_x, I've knocked up a small (8kb rar) ColorYUV2 graphing
program so you can better visualize the output (would be pretty impossible without it). Intend
to include this with next version of ColorYUV2(), also usable with standard ColorYUV(). Also have
nearly completed a Levels() grapher with arguments conversion to ColorYUV() style, will also include
that with upcoming version. EDIT:- Will also include VB source for both with ColorYUV2().
See below for ColorYUV2_Graf.EXE, 8KB Rar :-

EDIT:- Link Removed: see Post #69


May not be back for a few days, but eager to read any thoughts you have. :)

[IanB]

... It seems that I have stepped in something nasty, the developers seem not to want such a function. Perhaps I should make ColorYUV2(), go away. :)
Yes, something really quite icky, as I said in the referenced thread, "none of these functions are Gamma", I don't have a problem with applying power functions to chroma, I just have a problem calling it gamma.I managed to resist the strong urge to call them gamma_u & v again.That's the spirit ;)

SPOW is not a bad term, not so sure about RAMP though :confused:

Also the functions are not commutative, i.e. order is significant. Question is which way around is more useful. :cool:

[StainlessS]

@ IanB

Thanx for the reply:

not so sure about RAMP though

hows about 'rpow_u' rather than ramp, or do you have a better alternative?
('r' as it sort of looks like lower case r when + maximum)
would be nice to find out before I put my foot in it again.

Capture Glitch Analyzer Ver. 1.02 by jmac698 (glitchanalyzer.avs)
A video with pseudo-timecode is generated then analyzed to detect temporal capture problems such as duplicated, missing, or field-reversed frames

Why: Some capture cards drop or dupe frames with no other indication. This will interrupt pulldown sequences making IVTC impossible. It also affects various multicap techniques.

Update: I found the solution to the original problem; VirtualDub drops frames by default (and my last 5 years of captures are all ruined). Only the following should be checked:
correct timing
auto disable sync

Requirements: ColorMatrix (optional), only tested on AviSynth 2.58 (in some of my other scripts, 2.6 caused problems)


#Capture Glitch Analyzer Ver. 1.02 by jmac698 (glitchanalyzer.avs)
#A video with pseudo-timecode is generated then analyzed to detect temporal capture problems such as duplicated, missing, or field-reversed frames
#1.01: Bug Fixes; DarkBlue wouldn't join with Colourbars due to differing fps, undefined variable sep, more convenient video sources
#1.02: Proper fix for CreateSolidBackground fps (need 30000.0 to assume float)

#Why: Some capture cards drop or dupe frames with no other indication. This will interrupt pulldown sequences making IVTC impossible. It also affects various multicap techniques.

#Requirements: ColorMatrix (optional)

#Useful tools: AvsP, HCEncoder, VirtualDub

#Usage level: Diagnosis probably requires an intermediate level user familiar with encoding, capturing videos and script setup, and some data analysis skills.
# However, fixing diagnosed capture problems automatically may require advanced scripting knowledge

#Use:
#1. Modify this script to set mode to generate and type to "NTSC" or "PAL" then encode the resulting diagnostic video
# If encoding to mpeg2 use interlaced, top field first (e.g. in HCencoder)
#2. Capture the diagnostic video (e.g. in VirtualDub)
#3. Set mode to analyze, set the captured video filename and the timecode log output filename
#4. Run the analysis by playing back this script once (i.e., load the modified glitchanalyzer.avs into MediaPlayer and play)
#Load the resulting timecode.txt into a spreadsheet and
# note where the timecode skips or duplicates numbers (a perfect capture will count from 0 to 15 repeatedly). It is up to you to interpret this.
#The darkblue intro will read as constant 0, the lightblue outtro will read ideally as constant 15, but in reality will may be random, 0's or 15's. Adjust slicelevel in readtimecode or the value of lightblue or ignore.

#Problems:
#The timecode may not be decoded if the video is horizontally or vertically shifted beyond tolerance, and/or the video levels are beyond tolerance.
#It is up to you to shift, crop, and adjust levels as necessary.
#Glitches spanning more than about 4 frames should be double-checked with the labels contained on the video, because of ambiguity in the sequence (I haven't thought this out further).
#Bluescreens typically generated by a VCR due to loss of signal may lead to unreliable timecodes. Adjust slicelevel in readtimecode so that a constant timecode is decoded.

#Results
#Some capture cards/software/driver combinations will drop frames
# with no indication. One example: duplicate a frame (freezeframe), next frame, skip frame,
# then back to proper frame. This 'hiccup' repeats every 13-15 frames. The dupe is numerically exact.
#This sequence would look like: 0,1 0,1 2,3 6,7... (when it should be: 0,1 2,3 4,5 6,7)
#The next step is to find a way to deal with the missing frames.
#Restoring missing frames could be done by capturing twice, and merging the two videos together (which is easier said than done). Interpolation is another approach to restoring missing frames.
#It's also possible that you don't need the missing frames anyhow, because the video is anime or silent film which cotains many duplicates due to the low frame rate.

#Other uses: Changes in field parity can also be detected. The colourbars can verify levels. The 'darkblue' can help measure noise. The script is educational. Other codes like Closed Captioning could be decoded.

#How it works: First some backgrounds are generated, frame/field count is added, then a call to AddTimecode inserts a test signal
# into the last 6 lines of video. Although only two lines are needed, another problem with
# capture cards is de-centred capturing. An analog signal has 486 lines, but capture cards
# only record 480 of them. They should be centred. Mine is two lines too high, thus
# cropping the first two lnes. Therefore, 6 lines gives some leeway.
#The background 'darkblue' is meant to give time for "Play" (on your playback device) and other symbols to disappear
# before the timecode part appears. For VHS this also gives time for the transport/tape
# to stabilize. And it gives you time to start the capture!
#The analyze function decodes two lines of pseudo-timecode into a 4 bit number,
# which counts from 0 to 15 and repeats. This is enough to detect several combinations
# of duplicated, missing, parity reversed, or rearranged frames. An absolute timecode would be more difficult to program.
#With glitches affecting more than about 4 frames, you should look at the actual video
# to verify the absolute timecode, which is written in text.

#Functions:
#CreateColourbars(string type, string colourspace, float length) Creates colourbars with type as NTSC or PAL, colourspace as REC709 or REC601, length in seconds
#CreateSolidBackground(string type, string colourspace, float length, int c) Creates a solid background with type as NTSC or PAL, colourspace as REC709 or REC601, length in seconds, colour as YUV in c
#LabelVideoWithCounts(clip v) Labels a video with frame and field counts
#whiteline(clip template) Creates a white line using template for video properties
#blackline(clip template) Creates a black line using template for video properties
#createcode(clip template,int code) Creates a video representing a 4bit timecode using template for video properties
#createcodefields(clip template,int code) Creates a video representing a 4bit timecode using template for video properties. The video has two time codes on two lines, for use in interlaced video.
#AddTimecode(v) Overlays a timecode onto the supplied video, using createcodefields for generation.
#readtimecode(clip videoin) Extracts the video lines representing a timecode and decodes it, labeling the results on the returned video and also writing the results to the timecode file
#ShiftVideo(clip v, int hshift, int vshift) Shifts a video in any direction, where hshift<0 means left and vshift<0 means up. Use only multiples of 2.
#ShowTimeCode(clip v) Extracts the video lines representing a timecode.

Pan Scan Utilities Ver. 0.1 by jmac698
Utilties for pan, zoom, and aspect ratio conversion of video

Shift - will pan a video in any x,y direction
Zoom - will zoom into the center of a video without resizing it
Aspectconvert - can pillar box or letterbox

Can be used with Animate to do a Ken Burns effect (panning over stills to add action to a documentary video, zooming in on a person your talking about).

New Filter: Deep Color Tools Ver 0.3a by jmac698
Scripted functions to manipulate 48bit color video. Reads 10bit mov files. These are the first Avisynth functions to support 10 bit and above video. Ver 0.3, bugs fixed. Tested to work with v210 file.

#Deep Color Tools Ver 0.3 by jmac698
#Scripted functions to manipulate 48bit color video. Reads 10bit mov files. These are the first Avisynth functions to support 10 bit video.
#Bugs: Only 9 bits of 10bit files are used. Tweak only supports cont and bright and calculates like coloryuv, there's some small numerical errors (rounding in mt?)
#Ver 0.3a: renamed to Deep Color Tools (from Deep Color Utilities) since this was the only name I can remember :) Updated documentation.
#Ver 0.3: fixed bug in clamprange, deepgreyscale, code cleanup (thanks Gavino from Doom9!)
#Ver 0.2: Fixed bugs with deeplastlo in all functions, successfully tested with a v210 file, added compatibility with yuy2,
# order of operations in tweak, chroma bug in tweak
# new functions: deepramp, deepcrop, deepgreyscale
# cleaned up code
#Requires masktools 2.0a48 (http://manao4.free.fr/masktools-v2.0a48.zip), qtsource (http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=QTSource), Quicktime 6+ or QT Lite (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QT_Lite.htm)
#Uses an internal format with two videos for the high and low bytes, audio in low is ignored, format tracks the pixel format
#Functions:
#deepread(string fn) - reads a v210 mov file and saves to deeplast
#deepgreyclip(int "luma",string "pixel_type") - sets deeplast to luma (a 16 bit number), defaults to YV12
#deeptweak(float "hue", float "sat", float "bright", float "cont", bool "coring") - adjusts brightness and contrast in 16bit, including coring
#deepcrop(l,t,a,b)- crops deeplast
#deepramp(string "pixel_type",int "bits") - creates a luma ramp of bits, defaults to 10 bit yv12. The range is unrestricted.
#deepgreyscale - converts deeplast to greyscale
#The high byte is always displayed as a preview. There is no dithering or rounding.
#To come: more downcolor options, color correction, colorbars, more functions, resizing

jmac698 --

Very nice! I just had an hour to kick the tires and haven't done much testing yet. One roadblock is I don't have quicktime on my PC and don't want it on my PC. So I set up a virtual machine, installed quicktime, your script, and its dependencies. Here is my simple script:

film = "z:\original-uncompressed\01.avi"

loadplugin(".\mt_masktools-25.dll")
loadplugin(".\QTSource.dll")
import(".\deepcolor.avs")

deepread(film)
#deeplastlo

Running this script under virtualdub, I do see the video. If I uncomment the last line to see the lsbs, I see black, confirming that my "10b video" is really 8b video in a 10b format.

What is weird is that the film has 5023 frames, but if I view deeplastlo, virtualdub says that I have 240 frames.

[pbristow]

Nice one, jmac698! (I haven't tested it, but it the idea is a good one and the implementation looks OK to me).

For a more realistic distribution of the jitter, try changing:
rand(6)
to:
rand(2)+rand(2)+rand(2)

That should give a roughly gaussian distribution over the the range 0 to 6 (average 3, standard devation around 1-ish).

:)

Try it now - I can't believe how much it looks like a VCR, I could swear I just capped it - try a movie.

New Filter: RGB<=>YCgCo Ver. 1 by jmac
Requirements: masktools v2a38+
Description: Converts between RGB and YCgCo. YCgCo is a low correlation colorspace used in H.264 for better compression efficiency.
Usage: Load your source, convert to RGB, call RGB2YCgCo, convert to YV12, compress. Should encode well.
To playback, use the Avisynth filter in FFDShow and enter converttorgb.YCgCo2RGB

#RGB<=>YCgCo demo by jmac, requires masktools v2a38+, tested in avisynth 2.58
#The demo just shows colorbars, but what is happening is a conversion back and forth between colorspaces
#Theoretically you would convert to YCgCo and compress, this will compress about 10% better than YUV
#However, it's unclear how to send this to an h.264 encoder. There's probably a way to arrange the pixels to make it work.
#To test compression, just feed as YUV to a compressor. The Cg/Co channels will be subsampled. Playback the result as YUV, the script will decode it.
#Ver 1.0 - Does correct, full range conversion both ways, in 8bit

There is a great little utility that I thought deserved another mention here on-site, I did a search and
AMP WinOFF has not had mention since 2004. AMP WinOFF is a utility whose best attribute is
that it can shut down/hibernate etc, the computer under various conditions, mainly that where the CPU
usage falls below a user selected level of activity. Most similar type programs pretend they do this, but what
they measure is "User Activity" rather than CPU activity, not quite the same, and probably of limited use
to Doom9 members. I have been using WinOFF since about 2004, perhaps earlier and have always
been very happy with it. I noticed recently that a number of threads were concerned with adding shutdown
type capability into eg Encoder GUI's, with AMP WinOFF, this becomes completely un-necessary,
especially if doing several jobs simultaneouly, you would not want to shutdown just because one of those
jobs has completed, that type of utility function should be implemented at a machine level.

However, having multiple shutdown options are quite ofter handy, and the Hibernation options
are always a good idea (goes to sleep, wakes up and continues as if nothing had happened).

This is typical of how I used to use WinOFF using TMPGEnc (dont use TMPGEnc anymore).
Encode in TMPGEnc, Hibernate after 1 hour of processing, auto boot at a certain time in the
morning (Bios Setup), Auto Logon to system, continue encode in TMPGEnc, use TMPGEnc
implemented ShutDown On Completion. All automated.

Anyway, have just visited WinOFF website and found that a new version was released in Nov 2010,
(not updated mine for several years) and thought I should let you all in on the secret.

Below from AMP WinOFF Website:-

AMP WinOFF 5.0.1

Description

AMP WinOFF is an utility for scheduling the shutdown of Windows computers,
with several shutdown conditions and fully configurable. Some of its features are:

Several modes/conditions for shutdown planification:
At certain date/time (e.g. 12:00 AM).
After a period of time (e.g. 1 hour and 15 minutes).
When there isn't user activity (i.e. no mouse/keyboard input).
When there isn't CPU activity.
When there isn't network activity.

Option of set several conditions at the same time for the planification. Examples:
Shut down at 08:00 PM or when there is no user activity for 15 minutes.
Shut down when the CPU load is below than 1% and the network transfer is below than 1Kb/s.
Several types of shutdown: power off, restart, close session, lock session, administrative shutdown/restart, sleep and hibernate.
Immediate shutdown and session lock from the taskbar icon menu.
Several security options including anti-close protection and password protected access to the configuration.
Option of showing a display with the active shutdown planification.
Option of executing a program, capturing the desktop, and/or hang up the modem before the shutdown.
Command line support for batch processing.
Dual English/Spanish version.

New Utility and Function: MpegAutoIndex and MpegAutoIndexSource()

http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=69

All requirements are included in the distribution.

MpegAutoIndex provides easy script-controlled indexing for MPEG2, h264/MPEG4 and VC1 sources via Donald Graft's indexing tools. As of 2011/11/01, h264 .mkv files are also supported. [note: .mkv containers, VC1 formats and interlaced h264 require a license from neuron2.net (http://neuron2.net)]

The package includes the indexers - and expands h264 support to include .mp4 and .mov containers via the included mp4box and faad executables. Likewise, it now includes ASF2VC1 to enable accurate indexing of VC1 in .wmv containers.

MpegAutoIndexSource() uses NicAudio for sourcing a large variety of audio formats. It also includes SoundOut for easy exporting of AC3 and WAV formats, which can be particularly helpful for 5.1 channel encodings, etc. The function provides many options for audio input/processing/output.

When opening .VOB files, MpegAutoIndexSource() automatically detects and indexes the entire set.

# MPEGAutoIndexSource(filename [, options])

# Open an MPEG4 file
MpegAutoIndexSource("foo.mp4")

# Open an AVC stream using DGIndexNV and hardware double-rate deinterlacing

[DrPhill]

I have created a new plugin in C. It adds a 'watermark' to a video.

A 'watermark' deforms the image as if it were 'embossed' into it. Teh watermark is defined by the user as a black and white image (still or moving). The intensity of the effect is controllable through parameters.

This filter currently only works in RGB32, and has not been exhaustively tested, though it is known to work on at least three machines.

I would dearly like someone with real C skills to check the code for obvious bugs, portability issues and general silliness.......

The source and release are available from SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/watermarkplugin/).

Any and all comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome, but preferably to this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163870) as I have email notification on it.

This is an implementation of GIMPs layers as AVIsynth merge filters.
See the GIMP docs for the types of merges.
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-concepts-layer-modes.htm

I've cribbed the code from the GIMP source (mostly the pixel arithmetic) and inserted it into the SDK example 1.7.
Amazingly, it all seems to work!

So there's 20 merge filters in AvisynthGimpLayer.dll (must think of a better name).

Normal(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Multiply(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Divide(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Screen(clip, clip, opacity=float)
GimpOverlay(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Burn(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Dodge(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Hardlight(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Softlight(clip, clip, opacity=float)
GrainExtract(clip, clip, opacity=float)
GrainMerge(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Difference(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Addition(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Subtract(clip, clip, opacity=float)
DarkenOnly(clip, clip, opacity=float)
LightenOnly(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Hue(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Saturation(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Colour(clip, clip, opacity=float)
Value(clip, clip, opacity=float)

They work on RGB or RGBA clips only.
The last four Hue, Saturation, Colour and Value have a RGB-HSV conversion and back.
So they will probably run extra slow.

So why?
I play with mandelbrots with the Fractal Extreme program.
I started off with static pictures now I tend to do zoom movies.
With the static pictures I often generate multiple copies of the mandelbrot with different colour palettes and mappings.
These get layered in GIMP.
Lately I've been doing similar with the movies using Merge, Mergechroma and MergeLuma.
I wanted to do a movie of a older static picture
http://www.flickr.com/photos/panzerboy/6233908023/
, to get an match I needed the same layering that GIMP provides.

I had a need of this simple filter - there may be a better way to implement it, but the work's done now so I thought I may as well share it.

http://horman.net/simpleselect.zip

simpleselect(clip, f1 [,f2...,fn])

Return only frames f1, f2,...,fn of the source clip, e.g.

simpleselect(clip, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13) # return a 6-frame clip comprising frames 2,3,5,7,9,13 of clip

David

[pbristow]

You probably could have just used:

SelectEvery(clip, 999999, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13)

If your source has more than 999999 frames, then increase the number to suit. It just needs to be bigger than the total number of frames presented. (I wonder if there's a limit on how many frames SelectEvery can handle?)

...but having a separate function for it might be easier for people. :) And it would be interesting to see which version performs better.

Could you provide the source code, too? This would be a good training example for folks starting out on coding their own plug-ins, I think: A nice simple objective, which lets you focus on one aspect of what a typical plug-in needs to do.

Thanks! :)

How does it treat the audio?

[wonkey_monkey]

You probably could have just used:

SelectEvery(clip, 999999, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13)

Argh, you know what? I actually tried that, and I thought it wasn't working as expected - but that was because I was stacking the result with the original clip, so it appeared that it was returning a clip with the selected frames and then holding the last frame :stupid:.

Source is here (http://horman.net/simpleselect.cpp) (fixed), but I don't know useful it will be, it really was cobbled together - I still only have a vague grasp of how filters come together, I only know just enough to pummel the simplesamples into doing what I want.

How does it treat the audio?

Probably quite badly!

[StainlessS]

David, source; 404.

If you want to handle audio, you need a 'GetAudio' member fn, presume you have not got one.
(otherwise, will get full length audio from source clip)

If you dont want any audio in output clip, set 1st 2 or 3 of below, to 0 in constructor.

vi.audio_samples_per_second=0; // 0 means no audio, type int
vi.num_audio_samples=0; // changed as of 2.5, type __int64
vi.nchannels=0; // as of 2.5, type int


EDIT: Found it, here is David's link to source (used "SimpleSample.cpp" by mistake):-

FrameSelect() v1.0, NEW Plugin for Avisynth v2.5+ by StainlessS.

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.


Interesting... With the command string & file options, do you plan to allow ranges (e.g. "1; 15-18; 32-399; 501")? That would be a very nice way of setting up EDLs (Edit Decision Lists). The same format could then be used as efficient output for functions that detect various things happening in the video.

A nice companion function would then be something that, rather than just selecting or ignoring frames from a single source, would actually switch between two sources - i.e. frames listed are taken from source A, but the rest are instead taken from source B. People who are writing functions to detect and fix particular symptoms in video then wouldn't have to worry about implementing their own switching logic: Just have the detecting filter output an EDL listing the frames that need "fixing", then run it with a script such as:


EDL = Q:\project\list_of_bad_frames.txt
FindTheBadness(OriginalVideo, threshold=99, output=EDL)
FixedVideo = FixTheBadness(OriginalVideo)
SelectAlternative(FixedVideo, OriginalVideo, commandfile=EDL)


Or even run FindTheBadness just once, and re-use the same EDL many times as they develop and fine-tune the way FixTheBadness works.

ClipClop() v1.10, Range/Frame Replacement Plugin for Avisynth v2.5+ by StainlessS.

New Version v1.10, Major improvement.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162266

Planar, YUY2, RGB32, RGB24.

Does NOT affect Audio (as source clip).


ClipClop() v1.10, Range/Frame Replacement Plugin for Avisynth v2.5+ by StainlessS.

Planar, YUY2, RGB32, RGB24.

Does NOT affect Audio (as source clip).

Clipclop is a simple plugin to replace ranges in a source clip with the same range, from a replacement clip.
Supports up to 255 replacement clips, with unlimited number of replacements into output clip.


If you wanted to do 1000 single frame replacements in script, that would require 3 trims and 2 splices for each
replaced frame, ie 3000 trims and 2000 splices. This would involve 5000 'zero cost' filters which together will
cost a little more than zero. With ClipClop(), this is reduced to 1 single filter with an overhead of approx
1 trim or splice filter. There is a small overhead setting up the filter (before the very 1st frame is fetched)
while parsing the file/string commands, but then parsing and setting up 5000 trim/splice filters in a script
would not be without cost either. Clipclop can parse in the region of 40000 commands (from file) in about 1 second
[guessed, based on timing the sister plugin Prune(), a trim/splice plugin].

v1.10, Implements 'Nickname's, Pseudonyms for the replacement clips, ie instead of '17 100,200' you could use eg 'dn 100,200',
in this case it might be to replace frames 100 to 200 of the source clip with the same frames of a denoised clip (clip 17).
OR, 'cp 345' to replace frame 345 with a clip where frame n was copied from frame n-1 of the source clip, ie CopyFromPrevious
[this could be generated via 'SelectEvery(1,-1)', or 'CopyFromNext' clip by 'SelectEvery(1,1)].
Supports Nicknames of up to 31 characters in length so you could use eg 'PredictFromPrevious 1234', or 'FlippedVertical 666,999'.
Nicknames allow you to think in terms of functionality rather than to keep looking up which clip index holds a modified clip
and you could actually write your command file/string before you even know how many clips you need, what clip index they will be,
or even how you will actually create/process the clip.

Once you've tried ClipClop(), you will wonder why you spent all those years doing it the hard way.
(Repeat after me, "I dooo believe in Fairies!".)

# MatchFrames v1.02, by StainlessS:
# Find And return frames in c clip that are best matched to frames in f clip.
# Requires YV12, as uses LumaDifference(). Null Audio returned.
# ##########
# Args:
# c = clip, Source clip.
# f = clip, Consisting of frames that you wish to find in the c clip.
# Show = bool[true], Returns both find and found frames using StackHorizontal.
# Thresh = float[0.0 == Search for best match], Threshold for declaring match.
# Thresh2 = float[0.0 == NOT time ordered], If (Thresh < Thresh2) Then clip f is time ordered (in c).
# This arg can significantly cut down on the time taken to search for frames.
# Assuming time ordered f clip (Thresh < Thresh2),
# Where:-
# A match found where diff of find to found frames <= Thresh,
# Next search will start from found frame + 1.
# Else if diff of find to BEST found frame < Thresh2,
# Next search will start from BEST found frame + 1.
# Else
# Next search will start from current start position.
# End if
#
# FileName= string["MatchFramesCmd.txt"], Output Frames command file (For FrameSelect plugin).
# LogFile = string["MatchFrames.Log"], Output Log file.
# ##########

A mod of Gavino's FindFrame()

Advantages:-

Deals with a clip of frames to find rather than a single frame.
Can find best match or 1st match below or equal to a threshold.
Float Threshold.
Can show StackHorizontal required 'find' frame alongside source clip 'found' frames.
Can output a command file consisting of frame numbers found.
Command file can be used with FrameSelect() Plugin to select all found frames (useful if viewing StackHorizontal frames without 2nd SLOW run for extraction).
Outputs LogFile
Can cut down on search times if clip f is known to be time ordered (in c).

addcode 0.2
Jul 16, 2012 by jmac

An Avisynth plugin to add codes (like timecodes) as white lines to a video.

Usage:
addcode(clip clip, int line, int x, float width, int height, int bits, int order, int luma0, int luma1, int word)

clip - video to add code to
line - line to start code on
x - starting position of code
width - width of each bit
height - height of each bit
bits - number of bits to draw
order - 0 means draw lsb first, 1 means msb first
luma0 - luma to draw for 0 bit
luma1 - luma to draw for 1 bit
word - a number representing the bits to draw

This will only draw the bits as a block, overwriting the specified area of the video. Some parts of the video may still show at the sides. If you want a completely black background, either make sure the bits take the full width of the video, or draw a black line by using a full width code of 0 bits first. You can also create settings to draw arbitrary white or black lines anywhere on the video. It's even possible to turn this into a plot function with foreground and background pens. It could plot single pixels in YV12 which is normally quite difficult. It could also draw checkerboards.

To add a timecode, use something like this in a scriptclip:

addcode(last,last.height-4,0,last.width/18,2,18,0,16,235,current_frame)#good for at least 145 minutes

clip - video as template to plot on
cr_center pans the image left/right (use -2.5 to +1.5, start at -1.5)
ci_center pans the image up/down (use +-1, start at 0)
zoom - initial zoom, where 1=the full mandelbrot set
aspect - set the PAR. Use 1 for computer, 10/11 for NTSC.
startcolor - the lowest color
endcolor - the highest color, the colors vary between start and end based on iterations to reach bailout
maxiter - maximum iterations, this has the largest effect on speed but needs to be increased for higher zooms

The Mandelbrot set is moved/zoomed based on current frame. The colors are not animated, they are based
on iterations reached.

Thanks jmac698. To be honest I have no idea what this filter is intended for ! Could you explain why somebody would likely to use it and when ?

[jmac698]

It can measure the amplitude of a waveform. For example, let's say you draw a sinewave on each line, but a different frequency. The amplitude is 110 (the maximum possible). You can record this signal, and play it back. Now run the filter. The result is the amplitude on each line. Instead of the ideal luma=110 for each line, you start bright at the top and get darker on the way down. This means the sharpness is being reduced as you record higher frequencies.
In other words, this is a precise test of frequency response of a VCR. The official tvlines number is where it reaches half the amplitude, or -6dB. You can use this to test the difference between normal and edit mode, or how a TBC reduces sharpness.

Eventually I can create a script to precisely measure any recording/playback/passthrough system, and give a report on various things like noise, linearity, jitter, resolution, bandwidth, frequency response, differential gain and phase, brightness, contrast, tint, saturation, and so on, like an expensive test instrument does.

[sirt]

Thanks for the explanations but it looks quite complicated. In other words, I think your filter is intended to measure some specifical frequencies as you did to measure those refering to dot crawl but I guess it won't delete anything in practice, just underscore a category of frequencies. If I am correct, It's still unclear why somebody would be required to resort to it. In my opinion, somebody who wants to delete some video artifact will try to use a dedicated filter. Or do you plan to mix your new functions in future scripts ?

[jmac698]

Sirt,
It has no relation to general video filtering. It is only for interest of experts and for learning. However, based on the learning, in the future I think I can make better quality of video captures, because I can precisely calibrate the VCR and remove it's distortion effects. Also distortion effects from TBC or other pass-through devices.

[pbristow]

To Sirt: What jmac is opening up here is a whole new dimension to working with AviSynth.

Traditionally, what we do is work with an existing digitised video file, captured either by ourselves or somebody else. We look at it, analyse it, try to figure out what's gone wrong with it (or at least not gone wonderfully), and thus how best to clean it up and/or enhance it... And then we develop the AviSynth scripts (and sometimes whole new plug-ins) to do that.

In that approach, we're very often working "blind". We don't *know* what errors were introduced into the video, or how or when or why, so we have to try to figure all that out from looking at the end results of the capture process. Or sometimes, we *do* know what happened, and we wish it hadn't happened and that we'd been able to get involved in the process of analog to digital transfer sooner to stop it happening... But it's too late, so we just have to clean up the mess that we find, as best we can.

But in some cases... *We* have the analog source. We ourselves are doing the transfer from analog to digital. Thus, we have access to the hardware that's involved in that transfer, and we thus we have a chance to figure out what it's doing "wrong" (or at least, sub-optimally), that might be spoiling our results and need correcting (or at least reducing) via AviSynth.

With tools like the ones jmac is offering/hinting at here, and direct access to the hardware involved in our transfers, we can discover more about what our hardware is doing to the analog sources it gets. That in turn can help us to devise the best kind of filtering to apply after a video has been captured, to correct whatever the hardware is doing "wrong"/sub-optimally.

To jmac698: I salute you, sir. :) More power to your elbow, as we say around here.

[jmac698]

Couldn't have explained it better myself :)
My elbow needs more power for sitting on this hard desk :)
And you *get* it.. great!

preroll.zip (http://horman.net/preroll.zip)

This plugin attempts to solve issues caused with certain audio sources (such as nicac3source), that being that if a video frame's worth of audio is requested when the previous video frame's audio has not been decoded, then the decoder may not produce the expected audio (it may fade in from silence for example, which could become an audible glitch if a video is trimmed and re-spliced).

All the filter does is fetch the previous frame's audio if it wasn't the last frame requested, before then fetching the current frame's audio and returning it. Usage is just:

Download: quad.zip (http://horman.net/quad.zip)

quad is a quadrilateral transformation filter similar to vcmohan's reform, although (so far) quad doesn't crash ;) and does a true quadrilateral transformation. It uses spline16 interpolation (can be switched off for speed purposes) and is multi-threaded.

Minimum parameter requirements are 4 x,y pairs defining the corners of the target quadrilateral. The source quadrilateral can also be specified, if required.

No source, sorry - it makes use of too many half-written libraries scattered around my hard drive.

quad
====

An Avisynth plugin to perform quadrilateral transformations.

Usage
=====

quad(clip, tx0,ty0, tx1,tx1, tx2,ty2, tx3,ty3, [sx0,sy0, sx1,sy1, tx2,ty2, tx3,ty3, bool invert, bool normal, bool draft])

Parameters:
-----------

tx0,ty0-tx3,ty3: the four corners of the target quadrilateral.
sx0,sy0-sx3,sy3: the four corners of the source quadrilateral (default: clip's corners, clockwise from top left)
invert: invert the transformation (transpose t and s)
normal: specify that the coordinates are normalised to the range 0-1.
draft: don't use spline16 interpolation

[wonkey_monkey]

The example works (with AvsPmod & VirtualDub), but there is some unreproduceable flickering of black rectangles in the top right after clip start.

Not something I've seen... is the black rectangle always the same height? Is it 1/4 or 1/8 of the clip height? Is it full width or just partial width?

Can you post a screenshot?

RgbAmplifier v1.01 - Forensic Tool, new plugin

RGB24 and RGB32
========================================
An Avisynth plugin to amplify color shifts

Given a clip, this filter examines every pixel of every frame and independently multiplies the difference of its specific
R, G and B values from the average R, G and B values of that same pixel location spanning a defined radius of adjacent frames.
If the new values are above or below the allowed RGB values, they are capped at those limits.
The revised RGB values replace the original values, and the amplified clip is returned.
If the Multiplier is set to a value of zero, the plugin acts as a temporal frame averager.

This plugin will:
Convert seemingly imperceptible color changes into obvious color changes
Highlight seemingly imperceptible movements of high contrast pixels
Sharpen the details of moving objects
Cause distortion or ghosting/transparency effect to moving objects (an unavoidable side effect)

This plugin requires RGB24 or RGB32 color space, and is intended for forensic analysis of videos created from fixed position cameras.
Usage on non-stationary cameras may produce unpredictable or content destructive results. The faster the object and/or the greater
the radius, the greater the risk of negatively impacting the visual accuracy of the moving object.

RoboCrop() v1.00, new plugin.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1632662#post1632662


Plugin's for both Avisynth v2.5 and v2.6.

RoboCrop is an automatic cropping solution to crop black borders from video clips, loosely based on (but using no code from)
Autocrop by Glenn Bussell.

For the most part, you can just call it with RoboCrop(clip) and not bother with any other arguements, it is intended to be pretty
much autonomous in its decisions. You might however want to alter eg WMod and HMod if your encoder has special requirements, and
perhaps Laced if your source is likely to be fully progressive.

Borders are detected by sampling at Samples frames, at scanlines (h/v) using AverageLuma (RGB is converted to Luma Y at either TV or
PC levels, See Matrix). This sampling is done on all 4 sides of the frame.
If a scanline Average luma is below or equal to Thresh, then is considered possible black border, above considered possible image,
if Baffle [default=4] adjacent scanlines above Thresh, then it IS image.

Deshaker3D (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1690146)

3D image stabilisation - effectively an Avisynth substitute for pass 2 of guth's VirtualDub filter Deshaker.

[wonkey_monkey]

Inspired by RgbAmplifier (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168293), which I couldn't get to work, I've written a plugin called amp (http://horman.net/avisynth/amp.zip).

It performs temporal smoothing, then (optionally) enhances the difference between the windowed average and the current frame. In theory, this should let you do things like make pulses visible in videos of human faces or wrists, but I suspect you need a very low noise video to pick that up.

Also worth noting is that it will easily enhance codec artefacts, so for enhancing very small changes, it probably works best with lossless or intra-frame codecs like MJPEG or DV.

It works in YV12, YUY2, RGB24 and RGB32 colourspaces, and because of this its parameters are a bit changeable:


amp(clip c, int window, double y, double u, double v, double a)


window is the number of frames either side of the current one used for the temporal smoothing, i.e. a value of 5 will smooth over 5*2+1=11 frames.

For YV12/YUY2 colour spaces, the parameters y u v specify the level of enhancement for each channel. a is ignored.

For RGB24/RGB32 colour spaces, the parameters y u v [a] specify the level of enhancement for the channels r g b [a].

A value of 0 performs no enhancement (returns the unaltered channel of the source frame).
If you only specify y, the same value will be used for the other channels.
By not specifying any of these four parameters (or giving them the value of -1) the filter acts purely as a temporal smoother.

These options allow for weird shaped LUT's to eg create masks. Example, Leaving all other settings at default and

If you additionally set eg IMin=128 and OMin=180, then 0-127 would map to 180 and 128->255 map to 64.
The IMin <= (IMax+1) requirement allows you to map the entire 0->255 range to any two output values.



RgbAdapt_Graffer.exe demos the plugin and all arguments. (Will require VB6 runtimes, most will already have these.)


And here a pic of the Graffer:-

VD_EdKey. New Utility for Avisynth, v1.00


VD_EdKey v1.00.

VD_EdKey, is a compiled AutoIt script utility, intended to assist in creating Avisynth frames command files.
Create command file in VirtualDub with VD_EdKey, and use command file in Avisynth script functions.

VD_EdKey is used together with VirtualDub and NotePad. You must run the app, with BOTH VirtualDub and the
NotePad Editor VISIBLE, you can scroll through a video clip, and press eg CTRL/INSERT to insert the current frame number
into the NotePad Editor. You press the keys with VDub as the active window (not NotePad).
VD_EdKey requires VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod will not be recognised (It does not provide marked ranges in Status Bar).
After creating Command file in NotePad, Save as eg Command.txt and provide it as eg SelectRanges(Cmd="Command.txt") or
RejectRanges((Cmd="Command.txt") {Select/RejectRanges supplied with both Framesel and Prune Avisynth plugins).

*** Current frame is shown in VirtualDub in the middle of the status bar. ***
*** Ranges are marked in VirtualDub via HOME and END keys, shown at Left of status bar (when marked). ***

It is important to NOT do any VirtualDub clip editing, if you eg delete a frame in VirtualDub, then all frames after that frame will
be off by 1, and so all VD_EdKey edited ranges/frames inserted later into NotePad file will be also off by 1.
The VDub loaded clip can be either an AVI or AVS clip, it makes no difference.

All VD_EdKey Keyboard commands:-
# Inserted into NotePad Text file
CTRL/INSERT Insert current frame eg '42'.
CTRL/SHIFT/INSERT Insert current range eg '42,52'. (single frame range is converted to single frame)
# Special use (where script frames file processor gives special meaning to -ve frame or range):
CTRL/DELETE Insert -ve current frame '-42'.
CTRL/SHIFT/DELETE Insert -ve current range '-42,52'. (single frame range is converted to single frame)
# Terminate:
CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+PAUSE is TERMINATE Program (or close via System Tray icon). PAUSE is also known as BREAK, usually next to Scroll Lock.

NOTE: A range shown in VDub status bar as eg "Selecting Frames 100-102(2 frames)" represents frames 100 and 101, frame 102 is exclusive and
does not count. By default, VD_EdKey uses Inclusive END frame ranges (same as Avisynth where end frame DOES count).
You can change the default behaviour to behave the same as VDub by Running VD_EdKey.Exe at least once and changing the auto created
VD_EdKey.ini file contents from "RangeEndIsExclusive=0" to "RangeEndIsExclusive=1". When using VDub "RangeEndIsExclusive=1" mode,
we subtract 1 from the End Frame to convert to Avisynth End Frame Inclusive specification when writing range to NotePad command.
When sending a command using VDub exclusive mode with a status bar range of "100-100(frames=0)", it will beep and show a "No Frames"
type error message for a few seconds, in Avisynth Inclusive mode it will send a 1 frame range command to the NotePad window.

It is easy to see what is happening as the NotePad window will be visible and after each insertion into NotePad, an ENTER key
will also be sent to move the cursor down one line, each command is on its own line. If you make a mistake, it is easy to
just switch to NotePad window and delete the erroneous line.

That is it, thats all it does. Is easier than switching windows, insert/delete frame number, and then back to original window again.

AutoiIt compiled executable with source provided, just click Menu Tools/build to create executable (In Scite4AutoIt3 editor).
Requires AutoIt3 and Scite4AutoIt3 editor to re-build executable.

TWriteAVI v2.02, Plugin Update of existing plugin (never appeared in new plugins thread before).

TWriteAVI v2.0, can write lossless whatever can be played to AVI (or WAV), and using the ForceProcessAVI/WAV functions, can write the
files [or logs] without playing them.

Two Pass:

WhateverSource(...)
A_Two_Pass_Function(Pass=1) # Create some kind of deshaker log or whatever.
ForceProcessAVI() # Force Pass 1, creating log (A function From TWriteAVI plug)
A_Two_Pass_Function(Pass=2) # Use created log
return Last

The ForceProcessAVI function forcibly processes both video and audio streams (ie reads each frame/sample in sequence),
so that any eg log files produced by either video and/or audio processing filter will be forcibly written to disk.
ForceProcessAVI/WAV are runtime functions not filters and so only return on completion.

Simultaneous play and save AVI

WhateverSource(...)
FN="Output.AVI"
FOURCC="ULY0" # Ut_Video
TWriteAVI(FN,Overwrite=true,fourcc=FOURCC).
return Last


Do some kind of processing and save AVI, Then play Lossless file.

WhateverSource(...)
FN="Output.AVI"
FOURCC="ULY0" # Ut_Video
Sharpen(0.3) # Whatever
TWriteAVI(FN,Overwrite=true,fourcc=FOURCC). # Write Sharp AVI whilst clip is played
ForceProcessAVI() # Force Write above TWriteAVI file without playing clip.
AVISource(FN) # Load Saved AVI
return Last # Play Sharpened AVI lossless clip



Function TWriteAvi(clip c,String filename,bool "overwrite"=false,bool "showall"=false,string "fourcc"="",int "dwChannelMask"=-1)
ForceProcessAVI(clip c)
Force Process clip c, ie read from first to last frame, for TWriteAVI writes the AVI file (Video + Audio) without having to play clip.
Function TWriteWAV(clip c,String filename,bool "overwrite"=false,int "dwChannelMask"=-1)
ForceProcessWAV(clip c)
Force Process clip c audio only, ie read from first to last audio sample, for TWriteWAV writes the WAV file (Audio) without having to play clip.

SawBones/FrameSurgeon v1.00, a VirtualDub/Avisynth script, utility combo to edit bad frames.
Create Command file in VirtualDub with Sawbones, and use Command file in Avisynth script function FrameSurgeon().


SawBones v1.00

SawBones, is a compiled AutoIt script utility, intended to assist in creating Avisynth command file for FrameSurgeon.avs script.

SawBones is used together with VirtualDub and NotePad. You must run the app, with BOTH VirtualDub and the
NotePad Editor VISIBLE, you can scroll through a video clip, and press eg CTRL/DELETE to insert a FrameSurgeon DELETE (DEL n) command
for the current frame into the NotePad Editor. You press the keys with VDub as the active window (not NotePad).
SawBones requires VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod will not be recognised (It does not provide marked ranges in Status Bar).
After creating Command file in NotePad, Save as eg Command.txt and provide it as eg FrameSurgeon(Cmd="Command.txt").

*** Current frame is shown in VirtualDub in the middle of the status bar. ***
*** Ranges are marked in VirtualDub via HOME and END keys, shown at Left of status bar (when marked). ***
*** FXd clips (where d is Digit 1-9) are user provided to FrameSurgeon.avs function and default to source clip if not user supplied. ***
*** Interpolation commands in FrameSurgeon are for YV12 and YUY2 only, others any colorspace. ***

It is important to NOT do any VirtualDub clip editing, if you eg delete a frame in VirtualDub, then all frames after that frame will
be off by 1, and so all SawBones edited ranges/frames inserted later into NotePad file will be also off by 1.
The VDub loaded clip can be either an AVI or AVS clip, it makes no difference, you could eg have a stacked multi-window frame
open in VDub so as to choose from your FXd clips.

All SawBones Keyboard commands that are inserted into NotePad Text file:-

CTRL/F1 CopyFromPrevious frame to current frame (ie replace current frame n with frame n - 1. (CP n)
CTRL/F2 CopyFromNext frame to current frame (ie replace current frame n with frame n + 1. (CN n)

CTRL/1 Replace current frame with same frame from FX1 clip. (FX1 n)
CTRL/2 Replace current frame with same frame from FX2 clip. (FX2 n)
CTRL/3 Replace current frame with same frame from FX3 clip. (FX3 n)
CTRL/4 Replace current frame with same frame from FX4 clip. (FX4 n)
CTRL/5 Replace current frame with same frame from FX5 clip. (FX5 n)
CTRL/6 Replace current frame with same frame from FX6 clip. (FX6 n)
CTRL/7 Replace current frame with same frame from FX7 clip. (FX7 n)
CTRL/8 Replace current frame with same frame from FX8 clip. (FX8 n)
CTRL/9 Replace current frame with same frame from FX9 clip. (FX9 n)

CTRL/SHIFT/1 Replace range with same range from FX1 clip. (FX1 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/2 Replace range with same range from FX2 clip. (FX2 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/3 Replace range with same range from FX3 clip. (FX3 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/4 Replace range with same range from FX4 clip. (FX4 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/5 Replace range with same range from FX5 clip. (FX5 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/6 Replace range with same range from FX6 clip. (FX6 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/7 Replace range with same range from FX7 clip. (FX7 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/8 Replace range with same range from FX8 clip. (FX8 s,e)
CTRL/SHIFT/9 Replace range with same range from FX9 clip. (FX9 s,e)

CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/1 Interpolate current frame n using n-1 and n+1 as source frames. (I1 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/2 Interpolate 2 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+2 as source frames. (I2 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/3 Interpolate 3 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+3 as source frames. (I3 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/4 Interpolate 4 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+4 as source frames. (I4 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/5 Interpolate 5 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+5 as source frames. (I5 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/6 Interpolate 6 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+6 as source frames. (I6 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/7 Interpolate 7 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+7 as source frames. (I7 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/8 Interpolate 8 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+8 as source frames. (I8 n)
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/9 Interpolate 9 frames starting at current frame n, using n-1 and n+9 as source frames. (I9 n)

CTRL/DELETE Delete current frame. (DEL n)
CTRL/SHIFT/DELETE Delete range (DEL s,e)


NOTE, By default, SawBones uses Inclusive END frame ranges (same as Avisynth) whereas VDub uses Exclusive END frame ranges,
ie range 100,102 in Avisynth is 3 frames (100 to 102), in VDub it is only 2 frames (100 to 101), you can change default behaviour
to behave the same as VDub by Running SawBones.Exe at least once and changing the auto created SawBones.ini file contents
to "RangeEndIsExclusive=1". If using default setting "RangeEndIsExclusive=0", then if a marked Range is shown in status bar as
"100-102" then range used will be 3 frames, if "RangeEndIsExclusive=1" then range used will be 2 frames.
It is easy to see what is happening as the NotePad window will be visible and after each insertion into NotePad, an ENTER key
will also be sent to move the cursor down one line, each command is on its own line. If you make a mistake, it is easy to
just switch to NotePad window and delete the erroneous line.

Where same frames are flagged for replacment mulitple times, later one will take precidence.
All frame/range deletes will be done AFTER replacements, multiple deletes on same frame will only result on single frame deletion.
Already Interpolated frames/ranges CANNOT be replaced and will produce an error (In avs script), but they can be deleted.

FrameSurgeon.avs requires MvTools, GScript, RT_Stats, FrameSel, ClipClop and Prune Plugins.

c, Source clip.
SCmd, Default "", Commands supplied as string.
Cmd, Default "", Commands supplied as FileName. (Either SCmd or Cmd MUST be supplied).
Show: Default False, Show Info on Frame.
ShowMode: Default 0, When Show==true, then 0=Show ClipClop metrics(post replacement), else if 1 Show Prune Metrics(post Delete).
Dv, Default 0, ClipClop and Prune DebugView level (0 - 4, Need DebugView utility)
FX1-FX9, Default c, Defaults to source clip, and if Show==True then Subtitled as eg "FX1" in frame center.
User Replacement clips. eg could use FX1 clip as Light Denoise, FX2 as Medium Denoise or whatever.
Interpolation args:- MvTools args. Used for 'Id' commands (where d = digit 1 to 9).
pel Default 2, Default as for MSuper(), ie 2, range=1 or 2 or 4
sharp Default 2, Default as for MSuper(), ie 2, range=0 -> 2
rfilter Default 2, Default as for MSuper(), ie 2, range=0 -> 4
ml Default 100.0, Default as for MFlowInter(), ie 100.0, range=greater than 0.0.

Supported commands (where n=frame number, s= range start frame, e=range end frame, d is digit '1' to '9'
NOTE, e range End Frame behaves as in trim eg -20 means 20 frames starting at frame s, e=0 means to last frame):-
"CP n" CopyFromPrevious ie replace frame n with frame n - 1.
"CN n" CopyFromNext ie replace frame n with frame n + 1.
"I1 n" Interpolate 1 frame n (using frames n-1 and n+1 as Interpolation source frames, (Id commands YV12, YUY2 only).

Recent versions of ffmpeg for some reason seem to be heavy on CPU usage, so I'de like to set it permanently to Below Normal or Low Priority.


Prio v2.0.0.2960 (Process Priority Saver) (c) 2005-2011 OK Software.

Tool to Permanently Set Process Priority in Windows XP, and Win 7 [EDIT: Vista too if you care about that], (not Win 8 or above).

Prio is a very easy solution to this problem of Windows Task Manager not saving priorities because it’s actually an
add on component for Task Manager itself giving it the ability to do just that. This means you don’t have another
full blown program running in the background, only a Prio service exe consuming a tiny 384KB.

See Prio here:- http://www.prnwatch.com/prio/
And results of Virustotal scan on executable (0/56) here:- https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/593f35d595aa891f3e2a705da37098c1fd00653740850a5103a57b6e7981927e/analysis/1462641694/
Free for personal use.
EDIT: Prio saves its ini file in "%APPDATA%\prio.ini", on my XP system,
"Documents and Settings\UserName\Application data\prio.ini" but is also available
via the new Task Manager Menu "Prio\User Settings" option so you can inspect or manually edit (comes up in NotePad,
just clear all text or delete the ini to reset to all defaults).

For those with Win8 and above, perhaps something here will be of use
5 Tools to Permanently Set Process Priority in Windows:- https://www.raymond.cc/blog/permanently-set-process-priority-in-windows-task-manager-with-prio/

EDIT:
for some reason seem to be heavy on CPU usage

Windows pretends to be pre-emptive, ie says that it does not require application cooperation for task switching to occur,
this just aint really true. It seems that one of the ways in which Windows performs its trickery is to do task switching
upon calls to the OS (a Windows run of the mill app will usually spend about 90% of run time in OS).
In the past, an app had to call a specific function every now and then so that task switching could occur, they have
replaced this old requirement by strategically scattering task switching checking on OS entry and probably several
additional opportune times whilst inside the OS. Upshot of this is, that if an app does not call the OS over long periods
of time then task switching is so very bad (everything else in system grinds to a nearly halt). Try writing a Visual Basic
program to do nothing but loop indefinitely without calling anything else, it will be a bit of a struggle to try and get some
kind of control so that the offending task can be killed. (I have never tried that on a multi-processor system, perhaps it
does not perform so badly).
My old Sinclair QL computer from 1984/85-ish, had no problems whatever in doing proper task scheduling [EDIT: 32KB OS incl a Pascal like SuperBasic interpreter and rudimentary windowing system], and you could write a machine code program that did nothing after startup except loop around forever, and at highest priority [127 of 127], and it was no problem at all to switch to command line (Basic interpreter) and suspend or kill the offending task, why can windows not do this more than 17 years later ? (XP, or 30 years Win10, I expect W10 is exactly the same).
EDIT: Above in red no longer true, was true for Windows NT (and I think Windows 2000) but no longer so.

Anyway, I suspect that ffmpeg is spending less time in OS (or greater periods between calls) than it used to, hence the minor problems on
my dual core Core Duo XP32.

EDIT: Have installed and set ffmpeg to Low Priority, working well. When I'm not busy, ffmpeg ambles along at close to 100% CPU,
and can eg copy files across network without interference from ffmpeg hogging the cpu (and little difference to ffmpeg speed).
Would normally if eg copying file across network taking 2 mins for copy, and starting ffmpeg, suddenly copy time shoots up to 45 mins,
this no longer happens at all, and CPU still up around 100% and little difference to ffmpeg speed and none to copy speed.

Apply "rgb levels" filter - this way can inspect what is the quality of image (whether gradients are actually high precision).
Crop, flip, convert format also work.
Export at full precision as tiff sequence.
Basically, everything that current version of VirtualDub does, Plus More.


ScriptEd, A simple Avisynth/VapourSynth script editor plugin for VDDC:- https://sourceforge.net/p/vdfiltermod/wiki/scripted/

CTRL/Z Undo
CTRL/Y Redo
CTRL/F Find
F3 Find Next
SHIFT/F3 Find Prev
CTRL/N New file
CTRL/O Open File
CTRL/S Save File
F5 Save and reopen at current frame.
F7 Save and open.
Menu Only Revert
CTRL/SHIFT/O Insert FileName
CTRL/SPACE Start code completion


Currently implemented for Avisynth:-
Avisynth Syntax hi-liting and external functions hi-liting and completion
CTRL/P Insert current frame number
CTRL/R Insert Range
CTRL/T Insert Trim with range
CTRL/I Import Frameset as Trims (replicate VDub range deletions into script).
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/C Comment selected.
CTRL/SHIFT/ALT/U UnComment selected.

Currently implemented for VapourSynth:-
VapourSynth Syntax hi-liting and external functions hi-liting and completion
CTRL/P Insert current frame number



ScriptEd is implemented as a plugin for VirtualDub Deep Color, and as such could be fairly easily extended for further functionality
without having to re-compile the entire VDub Deep Color App
VapourSynth frame/range insertions should be quite simple to add, mostly copy/paste if someone knows VS/Python syntax for doing so,
ie how is range specified, with comma or hyphen?, how do you specify a Trim(), or multiple Trim()'s with AlignedSplice in between them,
basically that is pretty much all that is required together with some copy/paste.

qCombed() v1.00, new plugin, mod of IsCombed (c)Donald Graft.


qCombed(), by StainlessS @ Doom9.org. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1776495#post1776495

Runtime function to establish combing status of video frames, or to write a frames file of combed frames [Intent for ClipClop() use].

ColorSpace, Planar and YUY2. (v2.5 dll but as only examines the luma channel can also function with v2.6 colorspaces).

qCombed() is a mod of IsCombed from DeComb plugin for Avisynth, (c) Donald Graft. [can be found here:- http://rationalqm.us/mine.html].


qCombed has two modes of operation, can use in conditional filter eg Scriptclip() or ConditionFilter() [just like IsCombed()],
and also has complete clip scan and frames file writing capability builtin.

qCombed(clip c,int "Threshold"=20,String "FileName"="",int "ClipIndex"=1,Bool "Range"=False,String "RngSep"="",int "n"=current_frame)

Args:-

Threshold, default 20. Threshold used to establish combed-ness, 0 <= Th <= 255. [same as for IsCombed(Threshold)].

FileName, default "". When filename is default "", qCombed will behave the same as IsCombed() and all other args with exception
of Threshold (and additional 'n') are totally ignored.
When in this mode it uses current_frame as set at each frame by runtime script functions eg Scriptclip()
and WriteFileIf() or ConditionalFilter(). In addition, you can use it within at compile time eg in a GScript
script and interogate frames by setting the n arg to the desired frame number. In this mode the function returns
a Bool status, True = Combed.
If you set FileName to eg "ClipClop_Cmd.txt", it will switch modes from default IsCombed() style
function, to a function which scans entire clip and writes a frames command file. In this mode, all other
args (with exception of 'n', which is ignored) are also valid. Will take time to scan entire clip but
output file will exist on return, and qCombed() will return the number of combed frames in clip as Int.

ClipIndex, default 1. Ignored unless FileName != "", ie in File Writing mode. By Default writes a ClipClop() style frame command file
where commands may look like:
1 100 # Clip index 1, frame 100. (where arg Range=False, or single frame range).
1 200,210 # Clip index 1, frames 200 -> 210 (where arg Range=true).
The clip index (1 as above) is a requirement in ClipClop which supports up to 256 clips, and so needs a clip index.
A ClipIndex of -1, will omit the clip index and just write the frames or ranges.
Valid range -1 -> 255 although 1 is probably the only sensible setting for ClipClop (clip 0 being the unaltered source clip).

Range, Default false. If False (default), writes all frame numbers on individual lines, else if true, then concatenates adjacent
frames into ranges (single frame range will write only a single frame number).

RngSep, Default "". RangSep of "" will be converted to ',' COMMA and used only if Range is True, as shown above in "1 200,210".
Can set RngSep to any character Chr(32) SPACE to Chr(126), only the first character in string is used.

n, n defaults to current_frame when FileName is default "", ie Conditional filter mode, but can be given explicitly as
arg in eg GScript script. When FileName != "", n has no function.

SmoothLimiter, a slightly improved Limiter (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Limiter).
* Add a transition zone or "knee" to avoid "flat-topping" gradients.
* Independent limits in black,white,yellow,blue,green & red.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7umqvbpehntck3o/SmoothLimiter-demo-k3.png?raw=1

However,
* Don't try to use it as "color correction", or focus on a particular color.
* For example, don't try to kill reds while leaving all other colors untouched - it won't work.

StrFmt,

Simple plugin to produce formatted string, and additional function to string replace with another string.


StrFmt(String format, dat1,...,datn)

Returns a formatted string. The unnamed 'format' string and optional unnamed 'dat' args are used to construct the text string that is
returned, uses C/CPP printf() style formatting.
Format: compulsory string controlling format and describing the datn type args that are expected.
datn: Variable number of data args of any type (excluding clip).

printf Format spec here:- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/56e442dc%28v=vs.71%29.aspx
NOTE, the only support for printing Bool variables is %s as string, ie prints "True" or "False".

Formatting supported, %[flags] [width] [.precision] type

flags, one of "-,+,0, ,#"
width, integer, "*" supported (width supplied via dat arg).
Precision, integer, "*" supported (precision supplied via dat arg).
type,
"c,C,d,i,o,u,x,X", Integer type, c,C=character, d,i=signed, o,u,x,X=unsigned (o=octal, x=Hex).
"e,E,f,g,G", Floating point type
"s,S", String type (also Bool).

Formatting Insertion point is marked with '%' character in the format string (as in Avisynth String function), if you wish to use
a percent character within the returned string, it should be inserted twice in the format string ie '%%' will produce a single '%'.
The data datn arg strings do not require a double '%' character.

A Backslash character '\' introduces escape sequences, to insert a backslash character itself, you must supply a double
backslash sequence ie '\\'.
Converts embedded escape character sequences (Case Significant):-
'\\' Converted to '\' Single Backslash
'\n' Converted to Chr(10) NewLine
'\r' Converted to Chr(13) Carriage Return
'\t' Converted to Chr(9) Horizontal TAB
'\v' Converted to Chr(11) Vertical TAB
'\f' Converted to Chr(12) FormFeed
'\b' Converted to Chr(8) BackSpace
'\a' Converted to Chr(7) Bell
'\x', where x is ANY OTHER CHARACTER not included above, will be copied verbatim, ie '\x'.

eg
StrFmt("Hello there %s and %s.\nGoodbye %d.","Fred","Ted",2013)
would return same as:- "Hello there Fred and Ted." + Chr(10) + "Goodbye 2013."

*****
*****
*****

StrRep(string source,string find,string replace,bool "sig"=True) # Based on Algorithm by Vampiredom, Gavino & IanB.
String args 'source', 'find' and 'replace' unnamed and compulsory.
Takes a source string, searches for all occurences of find string and replaces the found strings with the replace string.
Can use "" in replace string (only in replace) to delete the found substrings from the source string.
Newlines are treated no differently to other characters, and could be replaced/deleted.
'sig' arg,default true is Case Significant. Set false for case insignificant find string.

New Script function, Duplicity() v1.01,


Duplicity(), by StainlessS @ Doom9.
A two faced scheming and double dealing [on your behalf] de-dupe tool. [writes duplicate frame number/ranges to Frames file].

Req RT_Stats v1.43 + CallCmd (c) StainlessS, + GSCript + Grunt (c) Gavino.
[GScript not needed if Avs+, Will Not AutoDelete DBase if CallCmd not available]

Avs 2.6 Planar, YUY2, RGB24/32 (RGB converted to Luma-Y using Matrix arg, defaults to PC levels 601/709 based on Width & Height).

DeDuppers use some method to determine if a frame is a duplicate of its predecessor, a typical measuring method might be
LumaDifference (average absolute luma difference per pixel), unfortunately the result of such measure may be due to a small
frame global change (lots and lots of pixels change by a small amount), or a smaller number of pixels change by a
larger amount, both these cases could produce the exact same result. Another case may be that of a very small number of
pixels change by a very large amount (eg a person closing a fist with remainder of frame static) and such measure might seem
to be a duplicate as it could produce much smaller numbers than a frame global change of a small amount.

Duplicity() uses a double measurement system, Primary measurement (LumaDifference) to detect frames 'Unique' to their immediate
predecessor (large or 'frame Global' changes), and a Secondary method to determine if 'Non-Unique' frames are either 'Low Motion'
or 'Duplicate' frames. This second measurement method is LumaPixelsDifferent (result 0.0->255.0 where 255.0 is equivalent to
100.0%, user args for this method actually require Duplicity arg 'IgnorePercL' in range 0.0->100.0%).
LumaPixelsDifferent(as far as this dupe function is concerned), compares frames and shows percent of pixels whose
corresponding pixel absolute luma difference is greater than Int arg 'ThL', if this percent difference is greater than 'IgnorePercL',
then it is deemed to be a 'Low motion' frame and if less or equal to 'IgnorePercL' then is a duplicate ('IgnorePercL' can be
0.0, meaning any pixels at all with difference greater than 'ThL' is a 'Low Motion' Frame). Where both 'ThL' and 'IgnorePercL'
are 0 and 0.0 respectively, will show percentage of pixels that are not Exactly the same. 'IgnorePercL' could be set to 0.0
in which case the function is governed soley by any pixel differences exceeding 'ThL', or can set 'IgnorePercL'= eg 0.001%
meaning the it will disregard as noise 1 pixel difference exceeding 'ThL' in every 100,000 pixels [eg 1 pixel in every
316x316 region].

The function determines if the current frame is a 'Unique' frame or not (via 'ThG' LumaDifference to predecessor), if Unique,
then the job is done and is considered a Non-Duplicate, these Unique frames are marked in a DBase as Unique. If a frame is
'Non-Unique', then the function scans both backwards and forwards looking for 'Unique Start' and 'Unique End' frames (and if
necessary, marking them in DBase). This Backwards/Forwards scanning permits jumping around in the clip for perusal and getting
exact same results as if travelling forwards only (even backwards traversal only, should work just fine). When the
'Unique Start' and 'Unique End' frames are established, we then know the extent of the unknown (unvisited) frames, and can scan
and measure those with the second measurement method (LumaPixelsDifferent) to determine Low Motion/Dupe status.
When determining Low Motion/Dupe status, we compare with an 'Anchor Frame', which at the beginning of a 'Non-Unique' sequence
is the 'Unique Start' frame. When scanning a Duplicate sequence the 'Anchor Frame' is the predecessor frame to the very first
duplicate in the current sub sequence of the 'Non-Unique' sequence, so potential duplicates are not necessarily compared with
their immediate predecessor. When a frame is determined to be 'Low Motion' (not a dupe), any detected duplcates are written to
the DBase and also to the output Frames file, and it switches to detecting sequences of 'Low Motion' frames within the
'Non-Unique' sequence. On each detected 'Low Motion' frame, the Anchor frame for the next frame (whether it be another
'Low Motion' frame or a new 'Dupe' frame) will be switched to that newly detected 'Low Motion' frame. With this method,
all frames BETWEEN (but excluding) the 'Unique Start' and 'Unique End' in the 'Non-Unique' sequence are detected as perhaps
multiple 'Low Motion' and 'Duplicate' sub sequences.
Setting LagMax arg to some low number (min 1), will limit distance of the Anchor frame prior to the current frame, eg setting
LagMax=1, would always do LoMo/Dupe compare with the current frame and its predecessor.

Although you might be able to scan backwards and get same detections, results are written to file in visited sequence and
you should NOT jump about whilst writing the final frames file. Also, this is a Multi-Instance script, can use multiple instances
at the same time (view side by side metrics) but you should really choose a unique 'Frames' filename for each instance.

Probably not worth it's own thread, but I made a bar generator for VapourSynth. NTSC on up to 8K is supported with SDR/HDR (HLG, PQ) and 709/2020 primaries.

ColorBars is a filter for generating test signals. The output is a single frame of color bars according to SMPTE RP 219-1, 219-2, or ITU-R BT.2111-0. For NTSC, the bar pattern is described in SMPTE EG 1. For PAL, EBU bars are generated.

ForceProcess v1.00 - 24 July 2018

A standalone drop in replacement for RT_Stats v2.0(currently Beta11) RT_ForceProcess().


ForceProcess(), v1.00, By StainlessS @ Doom9

Requires VS2008 CPP runtimes,

ForceProcess(clip, bool "Video"=True,bool "Audio"=false,Bool "Debug"=True) :- Returns 0


If Video (default true), Force read every frame of clip from 0 to FrameCount-1.
If Audio (default false), Force read every sample of clip from 0 to NumberOfSamples-1.
Useful where a clip outputs some kind of file for use in a second filter, this function would in such a case
forcibly read and therefore write the file, so that it may be available to other filters or to a second pass of the filter that
initially wrote the file.
Debug, default true. Write Progress to DebugView.

The ForceProcess function forcibly processes both video and audio streams (ie reads each frame/sample in sequence),
so that any eg log files produced by either video and/or audio processing filter will be forcibly written to disk.
ForceProcess is a runtime function not filter and so only returns on completion.

Example:

Two Pass:

WhateverSource(...)
A_Two_Pass_Function(Pass=1) # Create some kind of deshaker log or whatever.
ForceProcess() # Force Pass 1, creating log
A_Two_Pass_Function(Pass=2) # Use created log
return Last

DirtBox_MI(), v0.03

[ Take your time saying the name out aloud when in public place ].

Req:- GScript OR Avs+, Grunt, MvTools2, Masktools2, RemoveGrain, CallCmd, RT_Stats v1.43.
CallCmd() optional, will auto delete DBase on clip closure if present.
YUV Only (well whatever MvTools2 + MaskTools2 supports).

Function DirtBox_MI(clip c,clip "dc"=c,Float "Th"=1.3,Float "ThMin"=0.5,Int "MinLen=1",Int "MaxLen"=2,
\ Int "SPad"=16, Int "SSharp"=1, Int "SRFilter"=4, [* MSuper *]
\ Int "ABlkSize"=16, Int "AOverlap"=4, Int "ASearch"=3,Int "ADct"=0, [* MAnalyse *]

\ Int "OthSCD1"=400,Int "OthSCD2"=130, [* Detect Override *]
\ bool "Show",Int "Chop",String "SurgeonFile",String "OverrideFile"
\ )

Args:-
c, Source clip.
dc, Detection Clip, Default c. Must have same number of frames as Src c, no other requirement.
Intent to use eg Zebra Bands to better tune for detection, Used only for primary detect of
leftmost and rightmost frames where damage occurs.

Th, Bad Ratio Threshold, default 1.3. If eg Cur->Nxt / Max(Prv->Cur,0.001) > Th then Nxt
frame is possble 1st of damaged frames (but Cur->Nxt must also be >= ThMin as described below).
Suggest much higher for flash frame detection (probably dont need Zebra dc clip)..
Default Th of 1.3 is VERY sensitive, take care with this setting, it could well chew up your
prized video clip.
ThMin, Difference of Cur->Nxt must be at least this to detect Left 'breakup'. default 0.5.
(Avoid detection where current frame is a duplicate of prev frame and Cur->Nxt diff is very small.)
[Same in reverse for detecting RHS breakup]. Do Not set to 0.0, ie OFF.

MinLen, Minimum length of damaged sequence to fix, default 1.
MaxLen, Maximum length of damaged sequence to fix, default 2 (1 <= MinLen <= MaxLen <= 9).
MaxLen provides the maximum supported by the FrameSurgeon script, ie 9, and so will not be
increased further.
Suggest only use MaxLen of 9 where Th is really quite high, bare minimum of maybe 5.0 or
perhaps even 10.0, even then is probably a bit dodgy.

MSuper args:
SPad, Default 16, See MvTools MSuper(hpad=8,vpad=8) [We use same for both].
SSharp, Default 1, See MvTools MSuper(sharp=2)
SRFilter, Default 4, See MvTools MSuper(rfilter=2)

MAnalyse args:
ABlkSize, Default 16, See MvTools MAnalyse(BlkSize=8,BlkSizeV=8) [We use same for both].
AOverLap, Default 4, See MvTools MAnalyse(OverLap=0)
ASearch, Default 3, See MvTools MAnalyse(Search=4)
ADct, Default 0, See MvTools MAnalyse(Dct=0). Using other than default value can be VERY slow.

MRecalculate args:
RBlkSize, Default 8, See MvTools MRecalculate(BlkSize)
NOTE, RBlkSize = 0 Will Switch OFF MRecalculate, probably a bit faster at possible expense of quality.
ROverlap, Default 2, See MvTools MRecalculate(Overlap)
RthSAD, Default 100, See MvTools MRecalculate(thSAD=200)

MFlowInter args:
Iml, Default 200.0, See MvTools MFlowInter(ml=100.0)
IBlend, Default True, See MvTools MFlowInter(Blend=True). Blend or copy frame at scene change.
IthSCD1, Default 400, See MvTools MFlowInter(thSCD1=400) : (0 < IthSCD1 <= (8*8)*255)
IthSCD2, Default 130, See MvTools MFlowInter(thSCD2=130) : (0 < IthSCD2 <= 255)
Threshold which sets how many blocks have to change for the frame to be considered as a
scene change. It is ranged from 0 to 255, 0 meaning 0 %, 255 meaning 100 %.
Default is 130 (which means 51.0%).
Used by MvTools2 MFlowInter during interpolation.

Detection Override args:
OthSCD1, Default 400. as MVTools MSCDetection arg. (0 < OthSCD1 <= (8*8)*255). See MvTools2.
OthSCD2, Default 130. as MVTools MSCDetection arg. (0 < OthSCD2 <= 255)
These two thresholds govern whether frames either side of bad sequence are determined to be
from the same scene, if not from Same scene then detection is Overidden and 'E' flag is set in metrics,
on what would have been the 1st/leftmost interpolation Source frame.
NOTE, If OthSCD1 > 8*8*255 or OthSCD2 > 255 then switches OFF scene change testing, will NOT override
any detections that seem to have good frames either end from different scenes. (will likely
result in blended scene transitions).

Metrics Args:
Show, Show Metrics, default True.
Chop, Show Mode if Show=True,
0 Normal
1 Left half of frame is fixed, Right original.
2 Top half of frame is fixed, Bottom original.

File Output args:
SurgeonFile, Default "FrameSurgeonCmd.txt". If Non "", then writes a FrameSurgeon() command file to
recreate result, so can manually edit the result file and re-render in FrameSurgeon.
[part of the Sawbones/FrameSurgeon combo which also requires ClipClop()].
If using Multi-instances, each instance should have its own SurgeonFile file.

OverrideFile, Default "Overridden.txt". Detected Sequences that were Overridden because the interpolation
source frames seemed to be from Different scenes
[In FrameSurgeon() format,
"I2 666" would be two frame bad seq starting at frame 666, where interp src frames would have
been frames 665 and 668].

Dc clip implemented to assist in detection, where can use eg Zebra() to create a 'tuned to error' diagnostic clip.
Most damage will likely occur horizontally (in eg VHS tracking gunk), and so we might use Zebra Default Row=true
to create a vertical set of Zebra bars (same height as clip c), and can use the Zebra args, Threshold, Lo and Hi,
to tune some of the bars to better reveal where errors occur. If any of the bars seem of no use, then best
get rid of those bars (crop) so as not to 'water down' the detection metrics.
May be able to detect several kinds of frame corruption, including flash frames, up to 9 frames catered for.
Where it can detect flash frames, will only likely be possible where frames are from the SAME SCENE, not two
different scenes separated by white gunk.
Dc clip probably not needed for flash photography flashes.
To deal with Interlaced clip, can eg SeparateFields / SelectEven/Odd and handle each separately, then weave them
back together again afterwards. Is multi-instance capable and so (despite use of global vars) will work just fine.
Probably better to not jump about, jumping into middle of bad sequence will start detect from jump point,
but OK to go backwards where already visited.

Shows Flags where hi-lited,
E = End Of Scene
Shown only on 1st detected Interpolation Src frame (frame before bad sequence starts).
Override where detected bad seq interpolation source frames are NOT from same scene (by OthSCD1 and OthSCD2)
0 = Any Digit 0 to 9, 0 when E flag not hi-lited, else digit representing length of bad sequence
that was Overridden as for E flag above.
L = Left Intep Src frame
R = Right Interpolate Src frame,
* = Interpolated frame.

TitleBar, v1.02, new plug.


TitleBar() - by StainlessS @ Doom9:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176062

Requires VS2008 CPP Runtimes.

VIDEO: Planar, YUY2, RGB32, & RGB24.

Plugin's for both Avisynth v2.58 and v2.6 (avs+ x86 & x64).

Filter to Add a 20 pixel Black TitleBar to top of clip, and to write a title string and optional Frame Number to each frame.
Uses DDigit text renderer & where showing FrameNumber, does not require ScriptClip() filter call.

Titlebar(clip c,String "Tit"="",Bool "ShowFrameNo"=True,Int "Col"=$000000,String "ColChr"="",Bool "Esc"=True)

Tit, Default "", Title string to write above video clip to the TitleBar.
The Tit title string may also contain Escape codes if Esc Arg is True, see later.

ShowFrameNo, Default True. If True, then also writes Frame Number as in eg "1234] My Title String".

Col, Default $000000. RGB color of the TitleBar background.

ColChr, Default "" (Starting Color = default). A single character as a string which sets the Starting color used for printing the FrameNumber/Title text.
If the ColChr string contains more than a single character, it will throw an error.
Valid single character can be any one of these (upper or lower case):-
"0123456789ABCDEF" # 16 Color character codes '0' to 'F'
"GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV" # 16 Greyscale character codes in ascending order of lightness 'G' to 'V' ($00 -> $FF)
"-!*" # 3 Specials,
# '-' = Default color. : As '7' [White] in Color colorspace : As 'S' [Near white $CC] in Y8.
# '!' = HiLite color. : As 'A' [Orange] in Color colorspace : As 'V' [White $FF] in Y8.
# '*' = Silently converted to '-', ie Default color. (Only has real meaning embedded in the Tit title string).

Esc, Default True. If True, then Escape codes "\a?", and "\x??" can be used to embed data into Tit Title string (The 'a' and 'x' MUST BE LOWERCASE).
Where "\a?", '?' is any character valid as in above ColChr, enables changing color on title bar, within the Tit title string.
In such a case, "\a*" switches to the OnEntry or Starting color, ie same color as set via ColChr.
Where "\x??", each '?' character MUST BE an UPPERCASE hex digit '0' -> 'F'. Enables embedding 8 bit Hex character code into the Tit title string.
You can use eg "\\x00" to embed a literal sequence of "\x00" into the title string, ie "\\" embeds a single backslash and so does not interpret as hex insertion code.
Use similar to avoid color escape code eg "\\a-" to embed literal "\a-".
Esc=False, does NOT process color Escape codes nor Hex insertion Escape code.
NOTE, the only character in range 0->31 that can be used in Tit title string is BEL [chr(7)] (where "\a" is converted to BEL color switch code), all other codes
in range 0->31 (eg chr(9) TAB) are converted to SPACE character. Also, CarriageReturn(13) and Newline(10) will terminate the title string early, eg you cannot
use Newline(10) to print on the input clip [neither as "\n" nor Chr(10)].
Likewise, characters $E0 -> $FF will be converted to SPACE character (they also do not exist in font).

eg,

# Chr(137) [$C9]is Copyright symbol (c).
ColChr = "!" # Hilite Code (takes effect from FrameNumber as ShowFrameNumber=True)
Return ColorBars.Titlebar("TitleBar \a-\xC9 StainlessS \a*2019",True,ColChr,Esc=true) # FrmNo=Hilite, copyright in Default, Year in same as FrmNo

Shuffle, plugin v1.03, (req VS 2008 runtimes). https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176193


Shuffle, by StainlessS @ Doom9.

Shuffle spacial columns or rows (1D), or blocks(2D) of frames, or temporal shuffle (frame order), all shuffles Inversable, ie undoable.
Potential usage in clip obfuscation using 'secret keys', or slideshow random ordering of frames.

Plugin for all Avs/+ valid colorspace.
Dll's for Avs v2.58, v2.60/+ x86 and x64.

Shuffle1D_X(clip c, Int "Seed"=0, Int "blkW"=8, Bool "Once"=False, Bool "Inverse"=False ) # Horizontal 1D Shuffle
Shuffle1D_Y(clip c, Int "Seed"=0, Int "blkH"=8, Bool "Interlaced"=False, Bool "Once"=False, Bool "Inverse"=False ) # Vertical 1D Shuffle
Shuffle2D (clip c, Int "Seed"=0, Int "blkW"=8, Int "blkH"=blkW, Bool "Interlaced"=False, Bool "Once"=False, Bool "Inverse"=False ) # 2D Shuffle
ShuffleT (clip c, Int "Seed"=0, Bool "Inverse"=False ) # Shuffle Temporal, ie frame order.

c, Clip to Shuffle
Seed, -1=Random seed (Non inverse-able), 0 (default) same shuffle every time, Else any other int = UserSeed or 'SECRET_KEY'.
BlkW, Default 8, width of blocks or columns to shuffle.
(Must be compatible with X Crop args, eg 2 or multiple thereof for YV12, also must divide exactly into Width of clip, use crop or Addborders where necessary).
BlkH, Shuffle1D_Y Default=8. Shuffle2D Default=BlkW, NOTE, Changed from original default 8.
Height of blocks or rows to shuffle.
(Must be compatible with Y Crop args, eg 2 or multiple thereof for YV12, also must divide exactly into Height of clip, use crop or Addborders where necessary).
Interlaced, If True, then doubles minimum requirement of BlkH (Shuffle1D_Y and Shuffle2D ONLY).
eg YV12, where Interlaced=False blkH would require multiple of 2, and where Interlaced, Would would require multiple of 4, so as not to destroy interlacing.
Once, Default False. If true, then uses the same shuffle pattern for every frame, else shuffled differently for every frame.
Perhaps better compression if not using ShuffleT.
Inverse, Reverses previously done shuffling, Must Use Same Key as was used for the Shuffling stage (and maybe ideally all in reverse shuffle order).

Where ONLY 2 x 1D shuffles (ie both X and Y shuffling), then the order for de-shuffling does not matter, can use Inverse X and then Inverse Y or vice versa.
Shuffle2D is much better than 2x1D shuffles ie Shuffle1D_X + Shuffle1D_Y (or vice versa).
Shuffle2D together with either of the 1D shuffles is a bit pointless.
If using ShuffleT (frame order shuffle) suggest before or after ALL other shuffles, and in reverse order when Inverse = true.
If Inverse, then must uses same Seed, BlkW, BlkH, Interlaced and Once args to recover obfuscated source.
Seed, can be different for all Shuffle instances, if any of them use random seed (-1), you will not be able to inverse the result.
For ShuffleT(), source clip should be frame accurate and ideally not from eg DIVX/XDIV (they can often have a key frame only every 8 seconds or so, so would be VERY slow).

(Q) What use is seed=0 ? (A) Exact same sequence every time.
(Q) What use is Random seed ? (A) maybe for ShuffleT() of pics for slideshow.

The AVS Folder has a number of Demos (7 at time of writing) that will run with Colorbars or An Avi.

NumCommandProcessor() v1.02


# NumCommandProcessor.avsi

NumCommandProcessor(), v1.02 by StainlessS @ Doom9 : https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1870956#post1870956

Call some clip function with int command args taken from a Command String or File.
Can write/append generated commands to Logfile for further hand edit and frameserve with raw log commands and without NumCommandProcessor.

Required:-
RT_Stats v1.43+ [(c) StainlessS]
Avs+ [(c) Ultim, Pinterf & others], OR GScript [(c) Gavino].

NumCommandProcessor(clip c, String CMD,String CmdFunc,Int "NumMax"=c.Framecount-1,Int "NumMaxStep"=0,Bool "Reverse"=False,Bool "Debug"=True,String "LogFile"="",Bool "LogAppend") : returns result clip

Two modes of operation governed by CmdFunc string,

1 ) EMBEDDED single Number, eg "DeleteFrame(%d)" where Commands in CMD(String or File) must be single integer number only, no ranges allowed.
'%d' in above string is the insertion point for the integers read from CMD String or File.
If CmdFunc function is some kind of Delete or Insert function eg DeleteFrame or DuplicateFrame or RemovePixelRow or etc, then assuming the CMD string/file
integers are in ascending order, then should set Reverse=True, as when deleting/inserting something, higher number eg frames will move by 1 place due to the deleted/inserted frame/pixelRow.
In addition, if eg deleting frames, then should also set NumMaxStep=-1, to reduce the frame count so that validation check is decremented after each frame deleted.
If CmdFunc is some kind of Insertion function eg "DuplicateFrame(%d)" then should set NumMaxStep=1 as frame count will grow at every frame duplicate insertion.
If ANY kind of EMBEDDED non frame style function, eg "RemovePixelRow(%d)" then MUST set NumMax = c.Height-1 to validate cmd integers against height, and if eg
"RemovePixelColumn(%d)" then set NumMax = c.Width-1 (assuming that your clip is called c).

2 ) APPLYRANGE (NON-EMBEDDED), eg "Blur(1.58,1.58)" [NO insertion point ie no embedded '%d'].
In this mode, the CmdFunc is applied using ApplyRange with the numbers obtained from the CMD string/file (Can be single frame or range).

NEITHER of the above modes are of any use for trimming a clip, if you require command file for trimming ranges see
FrameSel Plugin (Especially SelectRanges.avs, which also requires Prune if trimming audio)
FrameSel:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=167971&highlight=FrameSel
Prune:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162446
FrameSel SelectRanges.avs allows for Either Selecting or Rejecting command frames/ranges.

CMD, If First character is an Asterisk(*) then is interpreted as a multiline Command String of command numbers[one number/range per line], Otherwise a FileName of command numbers.
EMBEDDED mode allows only single Integers in CMD, whereas APPLYRANGE mode allows for 1 (frame) or 2 (range) on any command line.
Best if numbers/ranges in ascending order, and non overlapping ranges suggested (but not enforced).

CmdFunc, Function Name and optional positional insertion marker '%d' where the command number will be inserted, eg "DeleteFrame(%d)".
Do not include source clip, uses Last as in "DeleteFrame(%d)" or "Blur(1.58,1.58)".
See previously noted EMBEDDED and APPLYRANGE (NON-EMBEDDED) modes.
Do not use more than 1 insertion marker, it will produce error alert (there are no checks).

NumMax, Default c.FrameCount-1.
Maximum possible valid command number for validation, eg if "DeleteFrame(%d)" then use c.FrameCount-1, or for "RemovePixelRow(%d)" then c.Height-1,
For "RemovePixelColumn(%d)" use c.Width-1, etc (assuming that your clip is called c).
For APPLYRANGE (Non-EMBEDDED) mode, always set as as Default c.FrameCount-1.

NumMaxStep, Default 0. (Range: -1, or 0, or 1 ONLY)
Adjustment to NumMax validation check after some EMBEDDED mode delete or insert style CmdFunc,
eg use NumMaxStep=-1 for "DeleteFrame(%d)" or "RemovePixelRow(%d)" and NumMaxStep=1 for "DuplicateFrame(%d)" or "DuplicatePixelRow(%d)".
NOT USED in APPLYRANGE mode.

Reverse, Default False. If True, then Process CMD list of numbers in reverse order, from bottom of list to top, Else from top to bottom.
If eg Deleting or Inserting frames, then after each operation, all frames above would change their frame number, so must do in reverse order.
Probably does not really matter in APPLYRANGE mode unless ranges overlap (which they really should not).

Debug, Default True. Send Func calls to DebugView as each are called (Google DebugView) .

LogFile, Default "" ie No Log file. Give it a Filename to Produce log of commands used.

LogAppend, Default False. Only valid if LogFile!="". If True, then Append to existing Logfile, else Delete existing Logfile at Start.
LogFile and LogAppend, allow you to 'Collect' a bunch of generated commands for perhaps further hand edit, using NumCommandProcessor
just to generate a template with correct frames/ranges (including Reverse order if necessary, and validating ranges),
then make small adjustments eg Change Subtitle text or colors for one off adjustment.


Returns result clip after all commands executed, ALL processing of frames/ranges done before frame serving commences.

Because this is the "New Plugins and Utilities" thread. The first post may not be any use, but the last ones are.

This thread is monitored by RSS feeds all over the world (for new plugs).
sadly, whenever anybody posts some inane remark, the feeds also get that too, (like this inane remark) :(

[lansing]

You can always start exploring from the last post...

I thought the main purpose of this thread is to have a place for people who're looking for plugins to find them easily in a list with brief descriptions on the first post, like a wiki. And the fact that people were posting their new plugins here is to have them added to the first post so others can find them easily. Having regular users digging up the thread looking for plugin themselves completely defeated the purpose.

[StainlessS]

It is for new/nearly new plugs that cannot be found anywhere else when initially posted.

At time when this thread was new, OP could handle a few new plugs and add to first post, but as gets bigger, then can no longer do that,

problem where eg dll has been downloaded from another computer or internet, and is blocked by the system because of this, you need to remove NTFS Alternate Data stream for the file.

Problem already posted about here[and some dozen posts following it]:- http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1837271#post1837271

https://i.postimg.cc/13hhcYbq/Untitled.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Solution, can Unblock via file Properties[as shown by above image arrow] , or use SysInternals Streams.exe or easiest found so-far is to use NirSoft "AlternateStreamView"
which allows mass removal via "Delete Selected Streams" menu option.
AlternateStreamView:- https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.html

Below showing the Zone.Identifier Data that needs removal.
https://i.postimg.cc/HssDSyLp/Untitled.jpg (https://postimages.org/)


NOTE, some of Nirsoft tools may flag an Antivirus warning about PUP's (potentially unwanted programs), as many of its utils are sys fix tools to show passwords and such.
All Nirsoft tools are hi quality top notch tools and are nothing whatever to worry about [EDIT: So long as you download direct from NirSoft].

EDIT: After scanning all my drives, I found I had hundreds [if not thousands] of blocked files.

EDIT: Files are so blocked for your protection, only unblock if you think they are safe [non-malware].

EDIT:
To STOP all downloaded files from being blocked by system, under XP with GpEdit.msc, [Group Policy Editor].

gpedit.msc
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager
Enable: "Do not preserve zone information in file attachments"

Above GpEdit.msc does NOT have an icon in Administrator tools (bit of a secret one and already exists in basic XP, Server 2003 Admin tools install not necessary), need use Start/Run or from command line.
For a easy removal of multiple Alternate Data Streams, can move all files to FAT32 partition [FAT32 dont support alternate data streams] and then move them back again.

EDIT: Below, Registry edit for fixing the problem [folder contents].

Folder: "STOP_DownloadedFileBlocking"

Function to estimate required rFactor for Nnedi3_RPow2() upscale function.
(Purpose is to enable automated decision for rFactor without human intervention.)


Function Estimate_Nnedi3_Rpow2(clip c,Int OutW,Int OutH, Float "Th"=Sqrt(2.0),Bool "Debug"=False) # https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176437

Requires:- RT_Stats if DEBUG==True, else no requirements.

Estimate required rfactor for nnedi3_rpow2() based on greatest output dimension (OutW or OutH)

Returns Int, 1(dont use nnedi3_rpow2), or 2^(1->10).
c, Input clip, used to obtain input frame size.
OutW, Output resize clip Width.
OutH, Output resize clip Height.
Th, Default sqrt(2.0) ~ 1.4142 (range 1.0 <= Th <= 2.0), choice threshold.
Th=1.0 : Always upscale twice as much as required [DONT USE]
Th=1.5 : Produces rfactor that when upscaled greatest dimension is at least 50% greater than that produced by next lower rfactor (if that makes sense).
eg, out c.Width is biggest = 100, and Th = 1.5, then
result = 1 if OutW < 150 and 2 if OutW >= 150.
result = 2 if OutW < 300 and 4 if OutW >= 300.
result = 4 if OutW < 600 and 8 if OutW >= 600.
result = 8 if OutW < 1200 and 16 if OutW >= 1200.
Th=1.1 : eg, out c.Width is biggest = 100, and Th = 1.1, then (10% greater)
result = 1 if OutW < 110 and 2 if OutW >= 110.
result = 2 if OutW < 220 and 4 if OutW >= 220.
result = 4 if OutW < 440 and 8 if OutW >= 440.
result = 8 if OutW < 880 and 16 if OutW >= 880.
Th=2.0 : Never upscale enough [DONT USE]
Debug, Default False. When true return Messageclip with some debug info, else return Int rFactor result.

Simple Client using Debug mode (requires RT_Stats)

BlankClip(width=100,height=100)

Estimate_nnedi3_rpow2(600,600,1.5,Debug=TRUE)

Return Last

https://i.postimg.cc/htdnNngL/pow-00.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Default Th=SqRt(2.0), Assuming both dimensions equally scaled and upscaling between 1.0 and 2.0 times, then SqRt(2.0) threshold is broken when Input clip is to be doubled in Area.
Similar decision when deciding between rFactor of 2 and 4, 4 and 8, etc.

Hello,

This new script brings the RGBAdapt plugin an automatic mode to achieve the white balance.

The default white balance results from the combination of gain, contrast, average, gamma (rpow) and gamma correction with S (spow) curve on each color channel.

The correction in agreement with the gray-world theory results from the combined action of a correction of bias and a correction of rpow, the second treating the part not taken into account by the first one. The script calculates for each image the proportion of work done by each process. Finally a spow correction (S curve) is added.

The data used to calculate these corrections, ie the average, maximum and minimum values ​​of the color channels, do not allow a continuous description of the histogram curve of the three basic colors, so they are not sufficient to choose the inflection point of the S curve. By default, the script proposes for each channel, an inflection centered on its average value. For a little disturbed movie, this solution may be satisfactory, but in general, you will need to adjust the spmid of each channel by watching the movie.

SpotLess(), new de-spotting script filter.

Script filter to remove Spots and noise using mvTools2 and Medianblur2.
Copes with spots on multiple consecutive frames, setting RadT accordingly.
Based on an idea by Didée.
Mvtools2/MedianBlur2 by Pinterf, so AVS+ colorspace and x64 compatible.

Chosen function name would seem to be a very good choice, not perfect, but very nearly is.

Adjective: spotless
1) Completely neat and clean

You should also try spotless as a prefilter in smdegrain. Worked very good for me with almost zero artifacts left from spotless.

yes, it's do better job than any methods ...

This is a wonderful tool. As it happens, I've been cleaning a VHS cap and the silly video has quite a lot of spots and scratches in every other field. SpotLess cleans them up nicely and also takes care of most of the chroma noise too.. I haven't checked things with longer samples but looks good anyway.

Plugin for stabilizing scanned films using perforation as a reference: https://github.com/arnean/PerfPan

[StainlessS]

Arnea, maybe make a thread here somewhere too.
Panning algorithm

I took the Avisynth core AddBoders filter and modified it to do panning - i.e. on one side it will add borders but on the other side it will crop to keep the image size.
It will work with all image formats and should be quite effective. Just one remark: if the original clip is in YV12 colourspace then it is possible to pan only in steps of two pixels.
The plugin will automatically do it, but the result is not as good as with other formats.

AddBorders (presume typo),
can be replaced with some resize, and can even shift YV12 by fractional pixel.
Something like (untested - Hope I did it right)

W=Width
H=Height
XSHIFT = -0.5 # Half pixel shift; -ve = right shift, +ve = left shift
Spline36Resize(W,H, XSHIFT,0, W,H)


EDIT: -ve = right shift, as it is where we get source from, rather than we put dest.

Could of course do like this

W=Width
H=Height
XSHIFT = 0.5 # Half pixel shift; +ve = right shift, -ve = left shift
Spline36Resize(W,H, -XSHIFT ,0, W,H)


EDIT: Arnea, dont reply here, is for new plugins only. Start new thread if necessary.

EDIT: Wonkey Donkey posted this in your Avs Devs thread,
For that you can use env->Invoke(...)

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Filter_SDK/Env_Invoke

Crop and AddBorders will only get you pixel-accurate (or less, depending on colour format) panning, though. Instead you can use one of the resizers with offsets (be warned that bicubicresize will soften your image unless you set b = 0 and c = 0.5, if I remember correctly).
And my edit was this,

EDIT: Below, Wonkey suggests resizer rather than crop, yes, that is better than crop.

I just happened to be on GitHub at the right moment lol.

I just tried out RIFE on the "lady in red" scene from The Matrix and I'm impressed with the results. All of the other methods I have tried usually have a lot of artifacts of blurring (blending), with RIFE is as sharp as the source and minimal artifacts.

Dogway, can you add it to your deinterlaced scripts??

[anton_foy]

Asd-g great work!

Would it be possible to use RIFE for motioncompensation of filters such as temporalsoften for example? I was thinking the way mflowfps was used to mocomp.

Edit: DPIR for avs+ maybe? :D

Thank you yes now after I used the required version of AVS+ libplacebo is working. Yet RIFE and w2xncnnvk gives me the same error.

EDIT: okay I fiddled with the folders and rife and w2xncnnvk now runs but I get alot of 'vkAllocateMemory failed -2' and
'vkQueueSubmit failed -4' on both of them. I actually got a few frames from RIFE with some black frames now and then but w2xncnnvk is all black frames. Will try to adjust 'setmemorymax' some more.

It can run for denoise - but slow and require lots of accelerator memory (6 GB can fit only about equal to MDegrain1 with 1920x1080 frame and 3 AVS+ threads) - https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1976763#post1976763

Though do not have any user-adjustable params (content-depending). So may be much more beginners-friendly.

May be any framerate converter with increasing framerate by calculate intermediate frames may run as a source for denoising script in AVS or in compiled form.

" get alot of 'vkAllocateMemory failed -2' and
'vkQueueSubmit failed -4' on both of them."

If it run out of HWA memory or other resources it looks the only way is to decrease AVS threads number (or calls to Vulkan device other ways).

Excellent Asd-g, It will open new era for avs+ :D

Asd-g made 'compiled' version of RIFE-denoise (about equal to MDegrain1 in 'degrain strength') plugin to test - https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynthPlus-RIFE/issues/2#issuecomment-1423270259 . I do not have access to required GPU for several days to check until next work day.
It now should work like

RIFE(denoise=true, ... other params for RIFE if required)


Still require Average() plugin loaded.

From my old tests of 2022 - it work about good with sharp and detailed enough content like from 3chip video camera FHD, but fails with soft enough 35mm film scan in 1080p producing lots of bad blended areas. May be need to adjust better 'model' or use new models from 2023 if available.

[kedautinh12]

Latest ver now. It should be used only for denoising.
denoise parameter is removed.
New parameter denoise_tr. Default 1, it must be greater than 0.
New parameter denoise_blending_mode. 0 - average (still average plugin required); 1 - none. Default 0.

Well - it now should be possible to run RIFE motion compensation and interpolation and some external blending engine with better protection against bad blends in the areas where RIFE fails with perfect motion compensation. Like tr=2 mode using MDegrain1 as blending engine and MAnalyse as SAD computing:


tr1=RIFE_denoise(denoise_blending_mode=1, denoise_tr=1)
tr2=RIFE_denoise(denoise_blending_mode=1, denoise_tr=2)
sad1=MAnalyse(delta=1, (some way to feed current frame or tr1 as + or -1 frame to MAnalyse - may be Interleave() ?)
sad2=MAnalyse(delta=1, (some way to feed current frame or tr2 as + or -1 frame to MAnalyse - may be Interleave() ?)
out=MDegrain1(sort of Interleaved(last, tr1, tr2), mvbw=sad1, mvfw=sad2, thSAD=our_protection_value)


When using MAnalyse with fastest modes (like zero search if possible like searchparam=0, pel=1 and may be optPredictorsMode=fastest_current_plane_sad_only for newer versions) it should run with low CPU usage and with all motion-search and motion-compensation quality provided from RIFE. Or may be other external blending engines possible with protection from too bad blends (may be block or sample-threshold based or median or ?).

So interesting! But how can MDegrain pick up motion vectors from rife? Or is there a way to surpass it to get the interleaved data?

[DTL]

It no more need MVs for motion compensation - it can run as simple enough blend engine for already motion compensated frames (MVs dx, dy equal to dx=0,dy=0). With internal protection against bad blends where RIFE fails with motion compensation. Today at testing I found internal tr=1 RIFE denoise based on simple (non-bad blends protected) Average() plugin works looks like OK. At 1080p clip and GTX1060 card even 2 AVS+ threads already saturate 'compute1' performance counter to 100% and fps reach 4 limit. Single thread run at about 3 fps. CPU load is only 5%. More AVS+ threads only increase GPU memory load and at about 5 threads it crashes with vk_errors (like out of memory).

But attempt to output motion compensated frames to external blending engine fails (looks like some bug corrupts AVS environment) - reported to Asd-g. Or may be it is bug in old (3.7.3 AVS+ version) - we wll see later.

Script like

src_den=last
tr1=RIFE(denoise_tr=1, denoise_blending_mode=1)
tr2=RIFE(denoise_tr=2, denoise_blending_mode=1)
Average(src_den, 0.2, tr1, 0.4, tr2, 0.4)

corrupts AVS+ environment (clip 'src_den' got much more frames as before RIFE() calls) and Average() plugin fails. At least with my AVS+ version of 3.7.3. Same is with attempt to use 'last' variable in the Average().

At 2 threads of AVS the performance at GTX1060 6 GB is about 2 fps. GPU-Z shows GPU chip power about 100..120Watt. CPU load is very low about 5%.

Testing shows it is important to adjust sc_threshold by content to avoid bad interscenes interpolated frames at scenechanges. The default 0.12 may be too high for low-contrast scenechange. Too low value may cause unstable RIFE processing inside scene and flickering or no denoise at all. It looks skip=true uses VMAF for scenechange detection and it looks work better.

Can use Clense() instead of MedianBlurTemporal, its faster.

Same as Clense() but much slower:
MedianBlurTemporal(radiusy=0, radiusu=0, radiusv=0, temporalradius=1)

[DTL]

Yes - instead of Interleave/blurtemporal/selectevery it may work simple

Clense(src, tr1, tr2)

Also it looks the skip may be default false and not used for scenechenge detection as I understand. I can not test new build until about middle of next week. You may try any blending engine that work good for you.

Also Clense http://avisynth.nl/index.php/RgTools/Clense looks like 8bit only.

Also as alternative blending engine possibly vsTTempSmooth may be tested https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynth-vsTTempSmooth . It have more settings about temporal weigthing and thresholding.

Yes vsTTempsmooth is very good but sadly very slow. If you need more than 3 clips for clense I think Dogway has scripted an extended version?

It is simply because it is still C-only and process each sample in a long enough loop. If put to SIMD it should work several times faster.

Thanks DTL great news! Did you do the update or Asd-g? Edit: ok I see Asd-g optimized it.

[DTL]

Asd-g is great programmer and made SIMD update with new-generation of SIMD library of vector functions (not intrinsics low-level based but with more high-level syntax). Currently I see some place of possibly better performance if current design issue will be somehow changed - gathering array of pre-calculated weights pointed by each sample diff value is strangely very slow and eats about 50% of total fps. So may be if that issue with gathering internal service data (not input planes samples) will be workarounded somehow (may be even runtime weight calculation instead of pre-calculated array with poor SIMD performance) we can get about 2x more processing speed.

Also in new uploaded 1.2.1 release the crash with separated to planes interlaced was finally fixed. At least at my current quick tests. Better more users testing required before closing issue about one possible crash reason.

As I see vsTTempSmooth rarely used in large users scripts and marked as 'stronger' in MCTD.avsi https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynthPlus-Scripts/blob/3a0da2968b9a67a702c9678162e09a85895190a2/MCTD_.avsi#L52 if used instead of MDegrain.

If it had an option for binomial weights I think it could be used more, I don't know in what cases IDW is more useful? Or TemporalSoften with binomial, whatever fits better.

[DTL]

For simple denoising work after (perfect) motion compensation the simple enough blending engine may be used. The protection from bad blends may be started from simple threshold-based for low enough noise levels (but still very visibly degrades MPEG compression performance as shown in https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1983505#post1983505 ).

The temporal-distance-based weighting is only sort of additional decreasing of possible bad part in the total output blend result for 'far from current' frames motion compensated expecting its quality of motion compensation is significantly worse in compare with 'near' frames. It may increase quality (sharpness) on moving parts of image but decrease denoising in static parts of footage with typically equal quality of motion compensation over total tr-distance.

As I understand current vsTTempSmooth may use additional difference-based weighting with some smooth weighting curve (like weight for other frame sample=f(difference between current and other frame sample) and that pre-computed table for it) - to not have too hard discontinuity at the threshold-based decision of either blend samples values or not (i.e. weight either 1 or 0) based on the difference.

I still not sure if binomial weighting can make better signal to noise level in case of working with natural gaussian-distributed photon shot noise. Are there any research about it available ? Or may be it is more effective against bad blends in case of not perfect motion compensation ?

Currently for performance at todays CPUs with SIMD the best algorithm must be SIMD-friendly with no inter-sample-dependent runtime computing and without random pre-computed lookup table usage (gathering) for each 'SIMD-thread' processing each sample separately. Currently usage of pre-computed weights table with per-sample data gathering in non-SIMD fallback like https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynth-vsTTempSmooth/blob/f71a46709225add4670452c697815cbfa8196b44/src/vsTTempSmooth_AVX2.cpp#L55 degrade performance at about 50%. Also usage of new data-gathering instructions of AVX512 (partially started from AVX2) can not helps greatly because cache still slow on fetching data from different lines and even levels. The switching from 'scalar single threaded' computing to SIMD 'internal multi-threading' also require changing of algorithm to get all possible benefits from SIMD.

So may be some new 'simple-fast weighting' mode for vsTTempSmooth possible to use is with external motion compensation engine with much more simplified and SIMD-friendly weighting for significantly better performance.

[DTL]

Release 1.2.3 of vsTTempSmooth https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynth-vsTTempSmooth/releases/tag/1.2.3 looks like final version with SIMD optimizations added. Run about 8..10x times faster in compare with C-ref (opt=0) at AVX512 chip depending on processing mode (use difference- and frame-distance weighting (slower) or only frame-distance weighting (faster)). AVX2 is about 20..30% slower.

Scalar gathering loop in C finally was changed to SIMD gather hardware instruction (more SIMD-way of execution) https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynth-vsTTempSmooth/blob/77400e19d990ff7251c99b24af8e7d4bda644692/src/vsTTempSmooth_AVX512.cpp#L88 available at AVX2 and AVX512 architectures and last significant slowing down part of processing was removed. Now vsTTempSmooth Asd-g version 1.2.3 can be used (added to AVS documentation like FilterSDK) as example of simple enough processing re-design to use SIMD architectures. It have C-reference and SIMD implementations of the same processing at 3 different SIMD architectures SSE2/AVX2/AVX512.

First release of M_QTGMC() . https://github.com/DTL2020/QTGMC/releases/tag/m_0.1 (M is sort of Monster-QTGMC)

It opens Super and Ultra Slow processing. Release includes required new .dlls - release for test of mvtools2 2.8.0-a.00 and new created plugin MostDiffVal (used in M_QTGMC). Also some version of QTGMC2() based on Dogway version v3.384s .

With current settings (internal) it attempt to create sharpest possible - so most of noise also keeping in.

M_QTGMC is aggregator of 4 calls to QTGMC2 with blocksizes of 8x8 and 16x16 and PP on (for preset="slow") and off. Also each calls of QTGMC2() uses new AreaMode (with not very high AM params - only +4 additional points of search) of MVs internal refining in MAnalyse and new predictor modes for TrueMotion and for median predictor.

Total performance is expected about 0.1 of classic QTGMC(preset='slow') or maybe a bit higher. (Update: at Core2Duo E7500: 11 vs 0.17 fps = 64x times slower.)

Test on BetacamSP (into DV25) capture: https://imgsli.com/MjYxMTMx https://imgsli.com/MjYxMTQx

Most of details saving expected at fast moving subjects. Also may add something good to old noised BetacamSP sources.

Also supplementary plugin MostDiffVal https://github.com/DTL2020/MostDiffVal/releases/tag/0.1 . It may be somehow created using Expr() but I do not know how. It used in function GetSharpest(clip1, clip2) and can be used to create sharpest version of a clip from 2 different processing ways each making sharpest only some parts of a frame and blurs others.

Update 2: With i5-9600K CPU it is not so slow - only about 6x times slower in compare with QTGMC(preset="slow") with x264 running with preset=slow for h.264 transcoding. 7.5 fps with M_QTGMC and 45 fps with QTGMC.

Have you tried using globals to try speeding up the script?
https://raw.githack.com/Dogway/Avisynth-Scripts/master/MIX%20mods/QTGMC%20Docs%20(v3.33).html#ExternalLinkage

Support for progressive input would be much appreciated, by me at least

Note: Why the loading and imports in M_QTGMC? I find it odd since avs+ auto loads plugins/scripts

[DTL]

If you mean MVs reusage between different calls to QTGMC via globals - it is not possible because the total idea of M_QTGMC is gathering details from different QTGMC calls with different MVs search params (different block size and different pre-processing). The details keeping or blurring at different areas of QTGMC output depends on the generated by MAnalyse MVs field and it is different for different analysis params (block size and pre-processing and others).

M_QTGMC is a sort of additional layer of 'statistical wrapper' around QTGMC processing to gather max variance from a set of observations of 2D random values. It is 'anti-denoise' processing. So with details it also gathers max residual noise over all areas of a frame. It can be also used with QTGMC 'classic' (and mvtools-2.7.x) - simply make a copy and remove all params of mvtools-2.8.x (named mvt_*). It will be much faster and also gather some more details.

"Support for progressive input would be much appreciated, by me at least"

I am not good at script writing. So it means we simply need to pass all not-used params from the M_QTGMC wrapper to underlying QTGMC calls ? I will try to do it in the next version.

"Why the loading and imports in M_QTGMC? I find it odd since avs+ auto loads plugins/scripts"

I do not use auto-loads in AVS+ and different mvtools versions can not be mixed with a single AVS+ process. So I think the only way to use different versions of mvtools is to load all required .dlls from a given path from the script (current working dir or any other). I hope but I not sure if loading some .dll from script directly can prevent AVS from loading 'auto-load' same named .dll from some 'auto-load' path too ? Also users of Computers become more and more lazy and the number of AVS required .dlls become more and more so users typically complain that it is too hard to find all required .dlls (and in the required versions) to run complex scripts (like QTGMC). So I include all required .dlls in the release archive and script loads it from the current working dir. So users can simply unpack the archive to some dir and it is ready to use as a 'portable' version on any host with only AVS+ core .dll installed. And with the addition of source plugin by user's choice.

I think this reply may be moved to either some thread for QTGMC or may be a new thread if there is some discussion for this update.

Addition: The only idea about globals: M_QTGMC with mvtools 2.8.x can export MVs for example for next denoise stage gathered from all internal QTGMC calls and averaged via MAverage() filter added in 2.8.0 build. Because computing of good MVs is very expensive - the already computed MVs may be reused in some next processing. It is possible in next versions but only will be compatible with mvtools 2.8 and later. Also typical QTGMC only produces MVs for tr=6 max in current versions. Though we can ask pinterf to add MAverage and MTransform new filters to 2.7.x builds too - they are simple and separate from all others.

I'm posting it here 'cause I don't know where else to say this.
Besides, I'm also not really sure whether anyone needs it, but here's the thing: asd-g ported BWDIF to Avisynth here https://github.com/Asd-g/AviSynth-BWDIF/releases and he did an amazing job, however he didn't include XP compatible builds.
In case anyone needs them, I've included them here: https://github.com/FranceBB/BWDIF/releases/
All credits are on asd-g for all the hard work, I've just got his release, constrained the whole thing to SSE2, included /Zc:threadSafeInit and compiled with v141_xp targeting Windows XP x86 x64.
I've only really tested it on XP x86 'cause I don't have an x64 version lying around, but it should work on x64 too nonetheless.
I also added a tiny link in the wiki at the end of the page here: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/BWDIF pointing to the XP compatible builds too.
Please note that I've also included the standard Windows x64 x86 builds compiled with v143, however if you're on Windows 10/11, unless you wanna be constrained to SSE2 only, you should really use the official asd-g ones compiled by him with the Intel Compiler which include AVX2 and AVX512 as well.

MergeClips.avsi (https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/MergeClips.avsi)

I understand, but the idea of ​​MergeClips is to enlarge to the size of the largest clip, not to a given resolution.

In the latter case, it is better to use CropResize.

The idea came when I had to combine several clips from a miniDV camera, each 720px wide and DAR 4:3, but different heights (quasipanorama with black bars). The 720x576 fragments get black bars on the sides, and the 720x436 fragments are enlarged to 952x576 (which width you don't have to calculate).

I had a bit of time to kill so here's an improved version.

It still works somehow better in comparison with QTGMC(preset="slow"). Test/compare script example included in the release archive. Currently highest complexity preset M_QTGMC_high() looks also working and make some better result (but even much more slower).

Also expected to be much faster without new complex motion estimation modes for MAnalyse.

Pre-release of RIFE 1.2.5 for better denoise frame interpolation with small temporal radius https://github.com/DTL2020/AviSynthPlus-RIFE/releases/tag/pre-1.2.5

The quality of the interpolation for fast and complex motion quickly degrades with increasing symmetrical temporal radius around the current frame. So new frames setup for interpolation mode were added - direct input of back and forward frames from current count. Now for total tr=2 it is possible to request up to +2 more interpolated frames for next processing (by some averaging or other engine).

Example for total (max) tr=2: (with RIFE 1.3.0 release - denoise_bf offset must be positive too).

ConvertToPlanarRGB(bits=32)
# Old symmetrical frames
#tr=1
den_tr1=RIFE(denoise=true, denoise_bf=-1, denoise_ff=1)
#tr=2
den_tr2=RIFE(denoise=true, denoise_bf=-2, denoise_ff=2)
#2 new asymmetrical frames with better quality in comparison with tr=2
den_m1p2=RIFE(denoise=true, denoise_bf=-1, denoise_ff=2)
den_m2p1=RIFE(denoise=true, denoise_bf=-2, denoise_ff=1)

#process with some temporal-median engine
# all interpolated frames + source - max denoise, less details
Interleave(den_tr1, den_tr2, last, den_m1p2, den_m1p2)
ConvertToYUV444()
vsTTempSmooth(pmode=1, maxr=2, ythresh=255, uthresh=255, vthresh=255)
SelectEvery(5,2)

#no tr=2 worst frame, low denoise, more details
Interleave(den_tr1, den_tr1, last, den_m1p2, den_m1p2) # more weight to best tr=1 frame
ConvertToYUV444()
vsTTempSmooth(pmode=1, maxr=2, ythresh=255, , uthresh=255, vthresh=255)
SelectEvery(5,2)

# even less denoise, more source details
Interleave(den_tr1, last, last, den_m1p2, den_m1p2) # more weight to input frame
ConvertToYUV444()
vsTTempSmooth(pmode=1, maxr=2, ythresh=255, , uthresh=255, vthresh=255)
SelectEvery(5,2)

#no input frame - only 3 interpolated
# average denoise, average details
Interleave(den_tr1, den_m1p2, den_m1p2) # equal weight to all interpolated frames
ConvertToYUV444()
vsTTempSmooth(pmode=1, maxr=1, ythresh=255, , uthresh=255, vthresh=255)
SelectEvery(3,1)


Note: The old method denoise_tr=X may be broken (denosie_tr=2 returns same frame as denoise_tr=1) - waiting for Asd-g to make checked/fixed release. I can not make debugging with Vulkan acceletator at my current development config.

Convolution revisited https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=186926
This implements a fast 5x5 convolution to replace generalconvolution(), suitable for typical sharpening or corrective kernels.
You need not compute and specify the divisor, it is automated.
Optimization: Zero-coefficients (sparse matrix) are removed before computation.

SCDetectEOD — histogram-based scene-change detector for AviSynth+.

Stateless, no motion estimation, no external dependencies. Designed for scanned animation and other material where MVTools MSCDetection struggles: shot/reverse-shot dialogues, hand-drawn cel animation with static backgrounds, sources with heavy film-grain flicker.


Y + UV 2D histogram distance with flicker guard and minimum-scene-length post-filter
Writes _scd_boundary frame property — works with any downstream filter that reads frame props
YV12 input, pixels pass through untouched
Forward-sweep cached, O(1) random seek

==========================

SCDetectEOD v2.0 — histogram-based scene-change detector for AviSynth+.

v2.0 adds three parameters for broader coverage:


downscale (0/2/4) — internal box-average downscale before histogramming. Drops compute cost ~4×/16× on HD/4K material. Detection thresholds are normalized per pixel so calibration carries over. Note: SD and 720p sources should not use downscale — the UV histogram becomes too sparse; see README for a resolution-minimum table.
ignore_borders — crops a border ROI before histogramming. For film scans with visible perforation, variable letterbox/pillarbox, or otherwise noisy edges that should not contribute to cut decisions.
mono — explicit monochrome mode. Disables the UV criterion entirely. Required for black-and-white material — without it, a B&W clip will never produce any cuts because dHistUV is always near zero on constant chroma.


Backward compatible — v1.0 calibration and usage work unchanged. New parameters all default to off.

AutoLevelsEOD — adaptive per-channel auto-levels for AviSynth+.

Port and extension of the VirtualDub AutoLevels filter v1.2 by EOD. Same per-channel histogram-stretch math, plus automatic correction strength per frame and scene-locked stabilization so the decision doesn't flicker across frames.


auto_bright rule set picks effective bar_bright per frame from full-histogram metrics — mild casts corrected, artistic color (sunsets, tinted titles, dark scenes with bright accents) left alone
Scene-lock via SCDetectEOD (https://github.com/schpuppa-art/SCDetectEOD-Avisynth-): eff computed freely on every frame of a scene, the minimum (most aggressive) locked for the whole scene — one stable decision per scene, no flicker
AutoLevelsEOD_Measure companion filter writes all metric frame props without touching pixels, for calibration
RGB32 input

SpliceRepair v1.0 — automatic removal of film splice mark artifacts (AviSynth+ script)

Automatically fixes horizontal artifacts left by cement/tape splices on scanned film. Uses SCDetectEOD (https://github.com/schpuppa-art/SCDetectEOD-Avisynth-) scene boundaries to identify first/last frames of each scene and replaces damaged top/bottom rows with clean rows from a nearby frame within the same scene.

No resampling, no blurring — just a surgical strip replacement.


sd = last.SCDetectEOD(mono=true, downscale=2)
last.SpliceRepair(sd, repair_top=48, repair_bottom=0, offset=2)

DustPort 1.0.0 — a limit-clipping spatiotemporal denoiser for AviSynth+, in the philosophy of Steady's DustV5 (2003).

The guarantee: every output pixel is bounded within source ± limit. No drift, no hallucinated detail. Aimed at film restoration where modern denoisers can produce plausible-but-wrong output.

Features

Four classic names: FaeryDustPort / PixieDustPort / GoldDustPort / SpaceDustPort
Temporal radius 1..5, mean or median
External motion compensation via prev / next arrays (compose with MVTools)
Edge-aware per-pixel limit map (Sobel-based)
Planar YUV 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 bit
Per-plane processing
SSE2 / SSE4.1, x86-64 Windows, AviSynth+ 3.4+


Not bit-exact with the original DustV5 (source was never published) — independent implementation of the same philosophy, built from reverse-engineering of the 2003 binary plus the public ReadMe.

generate_tfmovr v1.0

This tool was created to ensure accurate deinterlacing without errors or omissions.

Description
This tool processes and cleans up TFM output files. It analyzes telecine (interlace) cycles and corrects them into consistent, clean patterns. By eliminating incorrect match code (c/p) detections, it enables high-precision deinterlacing.
