Some way to apply a filter to a limited number of frames within a clip?

[cobo]

Is there some way I can specify to apply a filter to just a limited number of frames within a clip that I'm running through some other filters? There are 5 frames within a scene that are darker than the previous and subsequent frames. I'd like to try using tweak or coloryuv to lighten just those frames, but I don't know how to script it.

Use ApplyRange if they're contiguous.

If they're scattered, you might want to try my RemapFrames (http://www.avisynth.org/stickboy/) plug-in. (See its documentation for examples.)

OK. I found ApplyRange here (http://www.avisynth.org/Animate).

When I added this to my script:

ApplyRange(1995,1999,"Tweak",bright=20)

I get:

Script error: ApplyRange does not have a named argument "bright"

I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

I find it works if I include values for all the "Tweak" float variables preceding and including the one I want changed from it's default in the order they're arranged in the Avisynth documentation without naming them. Like this:

ApplyRange(1995,1999,"Tweak",0,0,20,1)

With "ColorYUV" I had to include values for all the float variables including those that followed the one I wanted to change.

Yes, ApplyRange is not great. Fortunately stickboy makes JDL_ApplyRange, which is much simpler, since you just include the call as you normally would. =D There's also JDL_ReplaceRange, which is just a different and somewhat more flexible way of doing it.

Since ApplyRange and Animate are ordinary functions, AviSynth's script parser has no way of knowing that the named argument corresponds to "Tweak" and not to ApplyRange itself.
