AVS+ and 10-bit DeepColor

[Hotte]

Hi,

I have not fully understood how it works with deep color. Maybe someone could help me to understand the matter. Of cause I read the documentation. However I was amazed that simple filtering seems to work without any issues

Hopefully the result really is 10bit :scared:.

I recently moved to 64bit and now my setup is: Load a 10bit deep color AVI (Exported vom NLE Edius with Canopus HQX Codec) into AVS+, apply some internal and/or external filters, export 10bit HQX AVI with VDub2.

Why does this work ? Or do I loose sth and I just do not see it ?

However I am not sure, wether I should use commands like "ConvertBits" to do things right.

Should all the filters usually work ? I am mainly using MDegrain, FFT3D, santiag, defish, dehalo_alpha, levels and binomial smoothing.

However it seemed that external filters TimelLapseDF which smooths out some aperture flickering unfortunately does not work properly. But this could be a special matter.

Any hints or advice ?

Yeah that's exactly how avs+ works but you have to check every external filter separately if they support avs+ colorspaces. Most filters that don't support them will through an error or the output will be garbage. Most likely the filters will at least support Stacked 16-bit which is a hack for normal avs, in which case you need to use ConvertToStacked and ConvertFromStacked. http://avisynth.nl/index.php/ConvertStacked
If neither works than you indeed have to use convertbits to go to 8 bits which seems to be the case for TimeLapseDF.
