Chromashift before or after denoising
Question for the experts. Is it better to use chromashift before or after denoising? In my scripts, after i use QTGMC lossless (without sharpening, sharp=0.0), I usually use TemporalDegrain2 with postFFT=1 and set the sigma afterwards. After that, I adjust chromashift and do sharpness with LSFmod. My problem is that the left edges are 99% perfect in the image, but the right edges often have a very slight halo or still a tiny bit of chromableeding. There used to be a filter called FixVHSOversharp that you could use for the right or left side but it works only in Avisynth not Avisynth+. I know there is DeHalo_Alpha but i only use DeHalo_Alpha in an emergency because it usually destroys too many details in the image. Is there an alternative to FixVHSOversharp, or is it my fault that I shift the chroma at the wrong time. My captures are most from old retail VHS PAL widescreen movies and the target is to get a anamorphic widescreen DVD.
Here is the script i use most of the time and i tweak the settings to the capture i have done: Avisource() KillAudio() AssumeTFF() QTGMC(Preset="slow",SourceMatch=3,lossless=2,MatchPreset="slow",MatchPreset2="slow",TR1=2,TR2=1,NoiseTR=2,Sharpness=0.0,EdiThreads=4) SelectEven() Crop() ConvertToYV12 TemporalDegrain2(degrainTR=1,grainLevel=1,postFFT=1,postsigma=2.0,postsigmaC=2.0,fftThreads=4) ChromashiftSP() LSFmod(Strength=60,Smode=5,ss_x=1.5,ss_y=1.5) AddBoarders() ConvertToYUY2() Splin36Resize() Prefetch() I know you want samples of my raw Capture and my encode. But i think there is no need for it because this problem is in most of my encodes. And i set the Chromashift on different places already to test it out but i can't get it perfect. For capturing i use a Phillips or JVC or Sharp VCR with TBC or a Panasonic without TBC ( belongs of the tape) passthrough Panasonic ES10 or ES60 or a electronic Design TBC to my Hauppauge LiveUSB for PAL/ Secam or Diamond 500 for NTSC. I capture with Lagarith or Huffyuv in Virtualdub or AmarecTV. And i use Histogram in Virtualdub to avoid black - white crush. My results are very good and sometimes they look like commercial DVD's but to get it perfect i want to kill this last small error. Last edited by 25FPSBB; 25th March 2025 at 08:55. |
