Motion x64 and MotionProtectedFPS, can you help me use it?

[Gargalash]

Hi!
I have discovered a 64 bit version of Motion here (http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/).

I had never heard of that plugin before. I am happy to discover what it does (in team with MotionProtectedFPS, I think...), but I am unable to use it. There is not usage file and nothing in the wiki.

I have loaded the 64bit Motion.dll in my script and I have tried something in the dark: Motion(), nothing. I discovered that I had Motion.dll 32bit in my plugins along with MotionProtectedFPS.avs. So I imported that avs in my script and called:
MotionProtectedFPS(FPS=50)
This time I got: "Invalid arguments to function "MotionProtectedFPS". I tried putting all parameters with their default value:
MotionProtectedFPS(clip=last, FPS=50, mode="warpfast", protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)
and I got the same error.

I am quite lost here! Any additional information will be happily welcomed! Thanks!

Are you aware of the motion() thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=101859) ...?


And BTW, the first 'clip' argument of a filter usually is unnamed, hence
MotionProtectedFPS(last, FPS=50, mode="warpfast", protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)

MotionProtectedFPS is a script function, not a plugin function.
The clip argument is called 'input'.
A peculiarity is that 'mode' is an int, not a string, so it should be
MotionProtectedFPS(last, FPS=50, mode=warpfast, protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)
ie no quotes on warpfast, which is actually a function returning an int (confusing interface, IMHO).

I wasn't, thanks! I did a search, but you imagine the kind of results searching for "Motion" brings. I will go in there and read.

Gavino:
I have tried this line
MotionProtectedFPS(last, FPS=50, mode=warpfast, protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)
and I still get the same error.

I will describe what I use to be more clear:
This is my script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins64\motion.dll")
Import("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins64\MotionProtectedFPS.avs")
AVISource("C:\blabla.avi")
MotionProtectedFPS(last, FPS=50, mode=warpfast, protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)
And I open it in vdub x64. Then the error.

I will look for a "better" version of that .avs in the thread.

Thanks for helping!

Edit: Actually, what would you use to double the frame rate of a SD video? I might be trying to use something deprecated...
Edit again: I read in the Motion thread that it is most probably surpassed by MVFlowFPS.
Another edit: restarting from scratch helped me get further, MotionProtectedFPS.avs seems runs with the x64 plugin, but I am now working on the "There is no function named "fity2uv" error. I actually get the same error in the 32bit world.
Thanks

I should have spotted this earlier - FPS is a mandatory parameter, so cannot be named. So use
MotionProtectedFPS(last, 50, mode=warpfast, protection=80, iterate=2, reset=50, initialise=6)
#or simply:
MotionProtectedFPS(50)

If you're happy with just repeating frames, you can use ChangeFPS.
Or for interpolation with motion vectors, you can use MVFlowFPS.

Thanks Gavino!
Yeah, simply using MotionProtectedFPS(50) got me further.

I now have discovered that "fity2uv" is part of the masktools.

Still in my 64 bit world, I have loaded mt_masktools-26-x64.dll first then tried mt_masktools-25-x64.dll and I still get "no function named fitv2uv...". Any ideas?

Down to 32 bit, I managed to make it work only by loading MaskTools.dll. fitv2uv is not seen in mt_masktool_25.dll or mt_masktool_26.dll.
I don't have the documentation for this function and the links are broken, does anyone happend to have it?

I just had fun raising the fps to 2000 and observing what happens during a scene change, that's pretty fascinating!

Thanks!
