How to mask blocks during motion compensation?

[althor1138]

Firstly, I apologize if there is some thread explaining this but I could not find anything.

I would like to generate a motion compensated clip and then mask off the blocks that fail based upon the input settings. I don't want to mask the vectors. I want to mask only the blocks that would have passed through a filter untouched. Is it possible?

You might try looking at this massively long thread. I've provided a link to the middle of the discussion where things get interesting:

Thanks. I've now read through most of that thread and the official thread. I should be able to adapt the script to my needs. It's too bad that nobody knows really how the inner workings of mvtools works. Nobody active anyway. Seems like a thing that could be implemented. Using mmask to mask the vectors just never really has worked out very well for me.
