Try to remove it and you'll know, "zdf" part looks transparent, other part maybe opaque or has low transparency.
Deinterlace it first to the lossless file before doing anything, for example: "QTGMC(Sharpness=0.0)".

The mask looks horrible. I used this settings:

InpaintDelogo(Automask=1, Analyze=3, FrB=1,FrW=30,aMix=-3, Loc="52,42,-546,-508", mask="D:\mask.bmp")

ConvertToYV12: only 8 bit sources allowed

I was try to extract hardsub, but met this error. What should I do, do I need to reencode the video?

[VoodooFX]

ConvertToYV12: only 8 bit sources allowed
What should I do?
Share script and sample.

The file is 10bit, is there a way to get around it as simple as possible?

[VoodooFX]

The mask looks horrible. I used this settings:
InpaintDelogo(Automask=1, Analyze=3, FrB=1,FrW=30,aMix=-3, Loc="52,42,-546,-508", mask="D:\mask.bmp")

Read the manual about parameters you are using.

For Loc you didn't left any borders.
FrB/FrW parameters are not for Analyze=3, FrW=30 is not even a white frame.

Try this to create the basemask:

InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\mask.bmp", Loc="40,30,-536,-498", Automask=1, Analyze=-4, aMix=-4)


After you got the basemask use:

InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\mask.bmp", Loc="40,30,-536,-498", Analyze=1, Mode="Deblend")

or

InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\mask.bmp", Loc="40,30,-536,-498", Analyze=2, Mode="Deblend")


EDIT:
Is your video 50 FPS after deinterlace?

[VoodooFX]

The file is 10bit, is there a way to get around it as simple as possible?

Add "ConvertBits(8)" after the source filter.

PS:
Looks like I've autoconversion to 8bits in my personal "dev" version, maybe later I'll dump some useful stuff from there to a public version.

[banaguitar]

Read the manual about parameters you are using.


Is your video 50 FPS after deinterlace?

Yes, 50 fps
This is the result. What are your thoughts about it? For me it looks ok.

[VoodooFX]

Looks ugly for me.
Post your full script and share the ebmp/txt files created by the script.

EDIT:
I see, I forgot Mode="Deblend" in the previous post [corrected it now], run a corrected script then ebmp/txt files will be created and you can post them.

[banaguitar]

Now it looks much more better. I really don't know if it gets even better.

I used this script:

LWlibavVideoSource("D:\Disco.mkv")
SetFilterMTMode("QTGMC",2)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Slower",sharpness=0.0, EdiThreads=3)
Prefetch(10)
InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\mask.bmp", Loc="40,30,-536,-498", Analyze=1, Mode="Deblend")
BilinearResize(720,546)

Here is the result:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17dNEtlwAWFHnooKZ6pcicHAqc46fuDeE/view?usp=sharing

Attached the txt/ebmp files

[VoodooFX]

Attached the txt/ebmp files
I can't see them, upload them to gdrive too.

I really don't know if it gets even better.
Try "Analyze=2", then you'll have more masks to compare what is better.

Did you deinterlaced to the lossless file?

[banaguitar]

I only used the script above and the mkv-file. That's all I have.
Here are all the files you need
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zK4DV1WegvumvnW3reH7SCsKHB-RqXl0?usp=sharing

[VoodooFX]

The txt and ebmp are in the zip file
Where is gdrive link to them?

I only used the script above
Told you that before doing anything you need to deinterlace to the lossless file.
Or do you prefer to do empty deinterlacing ten times for no reason?

[banaguitar]

Where is gdrive link to them?


Told you that before doing anything you need to deinterlace to the lossless file.


Ok, I will do

[VoodooFX]

For some reason I can't download them from gdrive, upload to Wetransfer.
I see there some "RemoveWatermark Analyze=2.mkv" file, if you ran "Analyze=2" then you must have ebmp/txt files for it, upload them too.
I don't need your encoded files.

[banaguitar]

Please try again. It should work now.
There is no big difference between both.

[VoodooFX]

Managed to download them after I generated links for every file, strange that download on mkv files worked OK.
Why did you renamed them??? Post the real filenames of those files...

[banaguitar]

Added now the real filenames. Thanks for help.
If you habe problems with download on gdrive you can download the files here on wetransfer
https://we.tl/t-1zZbqarzNA

[VoodooFX]

Those mask are not from that script.
Share the proper masks or the proper script.

I just wonder how many times did you "deinterlaced" that clip... :D

[banaguitar]

Thats correct.

First I deinterlaced. Just one time. :)

LWlibavVideoSource("myclip.mkv")
SetFilterMTMode("QTGMC",2)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Slower",sharpness=0.0, EdiThreads=3)
Prefetch(10)
BilinearResize(720,546)

Then I saved it to an uncompressed file.

Second step is to create the basic mask from the lossless mkv

InpaintDelogo(mask="mask.bmp", Loc="40,20,150,60", Automask=1, Analyze=-4, aMix=-4)

Third step:

InpaintDelogo( mask="mask.bmp", Loc="40,20,150,60", Analyze=1, Mode="Deblend")

The same for Anaylze=2

That's all I did!

[VoodooFX]

1) Your ebmp masks looks like made on that 1 min sample, they are useless... Why would I need them?
2) Don't resize before delogo. Why resize with crappy filter or resize at all?
3) Your encodes looks blurred. If you didn't denoise then you need to investigate your setup.

1) That's correct. Sorry. I didn't know that. I uploaded all the files again for a similar complete clip, 10 min.
How can I open a ebmp-file?
2.) That's the reason
https://youtu.be/C4PyyQoz6eo?list=PLYVUzyF0TAYMC8USP0aIFe0XgPHdKfidt&t=3093
3.) The original video does not look blurry.

Please download the files here on wetransfer. The rendered video doesn't look perfect. You can still see some "leftovers" from the logo.
The Loc are "40,26,146,60"

Hi,

I apply the logo as text in the bottom right corner using the multiply overlay https://youtu.be/gzhSOqUgA4E
What advise to apply for difficulty of a script DeLogo?

[banaguitar]

I can play a bit with the settings. Maybe I get better results. For now it is ok, but not perfect.

[VoodooFX]

@banaguitar
1.) Images you can open with ImageSource().
2.) Then better to do upscale.
3.) Nevermind, I used different QTGMC settings.

Again your masks don't fit any of your shared scripts... [EDIT: My bad, actually they are OK]

My advice: Don't waste your time, anything you add there can be removed.

[Dogway]

VoodoFX, do you know a good way of removing the letters
http://i.imgur.com/qMBEiYCm.png (https://i.imgur.com/qMBEiYC.png)

I made the mask with (over a bright background):
InpaintDelogo( mask="Q:\Mask.bmp",
\ Automask=1, aMix=0, Loc="1376,64,-66,-874",
\ Mode="Inpaint",interp=0,
\ Analyze=3, FrB=18024, FrW=18024, FrS=2, GrainPP=3, turbo=3)

Output (Using Analyze=2 I got a black frame only):

http://i.imgur.com/T16vOK3m.png (https://i.imgur.com/T16vOK3.png)

Then I also got another mask called Mask_AutomaskTemp_A3:

http://i.imgur.com/1ffYPyBt.png (https://i.imgur.com/1ffYPyB.png)


I spent some time editing the mask by hand in Photoshop and got the next :/

http://i.imgur.com/c9IDBEWm.png (https://i.imgur.com/c9IDBEW.png)

[VoodooFX]

VoodoFX, do you know a good way of removing the letters
Your example script doesn't make sense, but if you got your mask then use:

InpaintDelogo( mask="Q:\Mask.bmp", Loc="1366,54,-56,-864")
or this can be a bit better:
InpaintDelogo( mask="Q:\Mask.bmp", Loc="1366,54,-56,-864", preBlur=4, postBlur=8, Radius=16)

Are those letters in whole video?

[Dogway]

"Are those letters in whole video?"
No, in a few places it's off.
The call is to create the mask, that's why automask=1 and analyze=3. But it doesn't fill the letters with white.
The letters are white with a 1px black border and a faint shadow towards right-bottom.

[VoodooFX]

But it doesn't fill the letters with white.

Because script is nonsense. ;)
Maybe you copied from some early examples in the thread, old Analyze is deprecated and now can be activated by adding "-", but anyway, your FrB/FrW are pointing to the same frame.
New Analyze=3 is analyzing whole clip, strange that you got that shadow in the mask.

The letters are white with a 1px black border and a faint shadow towards right-bottom.
I would try a mask with that shadow excluded .

EDIT:
And your [I]Loc has borders less than 10 pxs.

[VoodooFX]

@banaguitar
Actually, the masks from your last post are OK, I didn't noticed that I ran them on WIP script...

Delogo result is not perfect but you can't do better on this video, maybe I would add more Gaussian blur to it with dPP=5.

Not a single logo can be erased with high quality even by specialized programs for removing objects (DaVinci Resolve and NUKE Studio)

The brain is arranged in such a way that it is easier for it not to notice a static object (logo) than a spot that changes in color and shape in place of a remote logo.

Fake news, you need to join VideoNonsense forums.
Top - your logo (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1975054) [Trim(5921,-260).Crop(3420,2000,-20,-60)], bottom - after InpaintDelogo:

Btw, good to know that those "even" programs are not good.

Is this some kind of propaganda or it's self-hypnosis?
My brain definitely is choosing the bottom video.

Nonsense should be addressed, especially on Doom9 forums.

For reference: I'm still waiting for lordTroll's MS Paint skills there (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/399360-so-where-s-all-the-Topaz-Video-Enhance-AI-discussion/page19#post2667474), the last news that the guy started to see ghosts on his TV, most likely it's a case for Ghostbusters. :D

I remembered the film "Un homme et une femme" 1966 in which I could not remove the stains that can be considered logos)

Can anyone try to remove the stains? Humanity and I will be grateful)

1) Save frame with the spots to image.
2) Open that image with some editor and mask/mark the spots then save it to lossless image.
3) Apply that mask to the selected frames with InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\spots.png", Loc="0,0,0,0", Inflate=0 )

Notes:
With current version you would need to paint the background in black.
If you don't want to bother with the background then get v3 InpaintDelogo.
Use full white to mask/mark the spots.
"Inflate" expands mask, its default is 1 px, so I disabled it here.
You can use fastest preset with "Turbo=3".

Are you sure?

[doctorkhv]

Yes, this is probably because XviD4PSP 5 only supports AviSynth + v3.5.1
I want to see how well the spots are removed in the 2 minute episode "Un homme et une femme" 1966 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mmNZu6PgSFEK4SIvfH8-OY-rVRjj5Y4b/view?usp=sharing

2.
You didn't show me the video fragment with the stains already removed

[VoodooFX]

1. Finally you've posted something tangible... How you expect to see "video without spots" or "apply" if you couln't even import InpaintDelogo?
Probably InpaintDelogo is not there, check if your path, filename and extension is correct.

2. I posted a fragment as image "Result (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1975214)".

[doctorkhv]

1. It's very easy to remove spots from one image and show the result, but I asked you about the episode VIDEO

If you want to upload a sample there's lots of places.

2. What AviSynth GUI are you using and what does the script look like for this case?

[VoodooFX]

1) Do it by yourself.

2) GUI is not important, it was posted already.

Video is interlaced, so first deinterlace it to lossless file.
Logo is transparent = use Deblend mode.
Trim to exclude parts where there is no logo or logo is animated.
Run the script posted below with Automask=1 to create "bmp" basemask, then run with 0 to create deblending masks and delogo.
Animated parts you can delogo with Inpaint mode.


LWLibAvVideoSource("D:\EONIAN_deinterlaced.mkv")
Trim(61,10907)
InpaintDelogo( mask="D:\mask2.bmp", Automask=0, aMix=1, Loc="1252,878,-90,-64", Mode="Deblend")


Similarly you can remove logo at the left side too.
