Pls check my filters

Please check my filters, I am archiving camcorder footage from mini DV codec.

function CamcorderFilters(clip c)
{
c = KernelDeint(c, order=0)
c = RemoveGrain(c)
c = LanczosResize(c, 640,480)
c = Tweak(c, sat=1.1, cont=1.1)
c = MSharpen(c, mask=false)
c = ssrc(c, 48000)
return c
}

:thanks:

I'd personally use a better deinterlacer--Yadif or TDeint.

I'd also use a better denoiser--fft3dgpu is a good one.

Thanks DS, you are everywhere!! :) I appreciate the advice

I'd also replace msharpen with something else. msharpen was mainly made for anime, so with camcorder footage, not telling what it'll do :p

Try something like Limitedsharpenfaster or Seesaw with fft3dfilter/gpu and TTempSmooth.

Yes I am now using the FFT3DGPU sharpen filter.

However, it brings up a question - I thought it was best to denoise, resize, and then sharpen. If I use the combined denoise/sharpen, then I'm sharpening before resizing.

Is that a problem? Thanks!

I usually resize last, depending on the footage.

Besides, your filters will probably run faster. However, if you are getting better results by resizing first, then by all means resize first.

How big are the input videos?

Why not use See-Saw or LSF as your sharpener instead?
