I think this is just an "s-curve" using RGB curves. You just raise the highlights, and bring down the shadows. If you want you can do individual channel adjustments. Google for "photoshop s-curve" or something like that

You could use RGB curves in vdub for example. (Same for photoshop, AE etc...). ; I'm not sure how to do non linear changes in avisynth alone

I posted an example here of your current source, and the curves graph
http://www.mediafire.com/?mwnm4md4ojt

The problem with the "after" example you first posted, is the effect is too strong - the blacks are crushed , there is posterization/banding, and you see less detail in the womans' hair - so be careful how far you adjust the curves

^ It's a video on which i am working!

I need a script. To adjust it :(

Did you miss this part:

"You could use RGB curves in vdub for example."

[Back4mHell]

^ how to install that plugin in vdub ?

[poisondeathray]

Another option might be to use GiCoCU and gimp curves, then you could possibly use it though avisynth
http://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/externalfilters/gicocu.htm

The vdub plugin is called "gradation curves" and you put it in the virtualdub plugins folder (or plugins32 folder) . There are tutorials on the author's website

[Guest]

The same way you install any other vdub plugin.

[Guest]

Follow the guide at the author's site.

How to load source file in it ?

[Guest]

Are you asking how to load a video file into VirtualDub? File/open video file.

[Back4mHell]

Loaded the .m2ts file! + Loaded the plugin..

After that how to save it ? in .avs ?

[Guest]

Apply the filter in the usual way, choose a compression, and then save AVI.

[Back4mHell]

Hey how to save the file in gimp.cur ? i followed everything .. but when i am going to save it's getting save in .png format

As the author says save it in .cur format .. how should i do that ?

[Back4mHell]

I am going to dinner!

Will be back in 1hr 45mins ..

[poisondeathray]

in gimp, in the curves menu, push the triangle button (it looks like it's pointing left, it's right beside the "+" button) . I think you have to save using old curves file format (checkmark the box)

did you abandon the vdub method?

[Back4mHell]

Yea i got till that "+" beside button..

but after that i am not getting u^

@Back4mHell

You have to answer the questions we ask you! Please answer this one:

"did you abandon the vdub method?"

If so, why?

[Back4mHell]

I am not getting the method how to make it :(

[Back4mHell]

Hey it's done !!!!!!!!!! via vdub ! thanks alot friends .. but the problem is only one that **** my quality :(

[Back4mHell]

What about quality ? it got worst :(

[Back4mHell]

Same here^ it take lots of time to create index.. update ur megui .. and u will be able to cr8 ffindex .. install ffdshow.. and with TSmuxer u can exact audio .. :) but it will take lots of time ...

[Guest]

What about quality ? it got worst :( You need to explain what you did. We are not mind readers.

Did you save to an AVI? If so what compression and bitrate did you use? What do you mean by "worse quality".

To be honest I am losing patience with this thread.

[Back4mHell]

^ Okay Okay! Cool!

Dont worry.. i did it now, you may close this thread

Thanks alot friends!
