Please help!
I've been working on creating an AviSynth Video Enhancement Script for years.
So I don't have any time to work and I need financial support.

Let's refresh memory:

By the way, I don't plan on creating a software to sell.

I'm trying to create a Freeware.

Hard to believe it's been six years since you posted those same clips:

AviSynth equivalent of the Super-Resolution technique in Adobe Photoshop? (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1889042#post1889042)

I sincerely hope that you are able to finish the project some day.

As for getting money for your scripts, here's a link to the post VoodoFX referenced:

I'm trying to create a Freeware (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1901566#post1901566)

Those who are new to this might want to start reading that thread at the point linked to, and skim through the next two pages.

It is very unnatural. I can get a better unnatural result with AviSynth. My goal is to get a natural result anyway.

For example I can get a better result about denoising. But without loss of detail, I can get a result like this at most.
And one of my goals is to get a better result about denoising without loss of detail.

But you have not yet showed it. Goorawin did but yours still has "wobbly/creeping" artifacts. No script, no help. This is "AviSynth Usage" and requires a script to tweak somewhere.

To the next question, please specify what you find unnatural. I find your result unnatural with the wobbly sky after denoising but you maybe have another concept of "unnatural" than others here.

ingoldie

13th July 2023, 12:49

To the next question, please specify what you find unnatural.

The result is like painting. It doesn't seem realistic.

Try with postFFT=4 or 5 in TemporalDegrain2. You need try edit parameters in SMDegrain, don't use default settings

Both are very bad. Detail loss, multiple deformities, etc.

Can you screenshot where detail lost between original and denoised video? And deformities relate interlaced not noised. Denoised script can't fix interlaced, you need use Deinterlaced script to fix that

ingoldie

30th September 2023, 12:42

Open two files via the same AvsPmod and view them sequentially to see all the difference between "Results without denoising" and denoised results ("SMDegrain Result", "TemporalDegrain2 Result 2")

When I upscale(lanczos4resize(1024,768)) or zoom 200% the following Original(512x384) files in the second AvsPmod and compare them with the Results without denoising, I can't see any problem except noises.

Have you tried to open two files via the same AvsPmod and view them sequentially(one by one, not side by side but on top of each other) to see all the difference between "Results without denoising" and denoised results ("SMDegrain Result", "TemporalDegrain2 Result 2")

As I told deformities cause video to be interlaced, you need to use deinterlaced filters before upscaling. Use my scripts with original video to fix that:

tfm(cthresh=10) # deinterlaced before upscale
lanczos4resize(1024,768)
ex_unsharp(0.3,Fc=width()/1.5,safe=true) # Remove some of the dreamy look
ex_unsharp(1.0,Fc=width()*2.0,safe=true) # Extra fine sharpness

30th September 2023, 17:44

With original2, I think we can use this script for a good result:

converttoyuv420
tfm(cthresh=10) # deinterlaced before upscale
lanczos4resize(1024,768)
YAHR3() # dehaloing
TemporalDegrain2(postFFT=4, fftThreads=2) # denoised

real.finder's Zs_RF_Shared.avsi requires the old SmoothUV version. No idea if the new version is compatible.

Download ver 2.1.1, you can use beside latest smoothuv ver (change name SmoothUV2.dll to SmoothUV.dll from 2.1.1 cause avoid same name with SmoothUV2.dll from latest ver) cause ver 2.1.1 have name of function is only smoothuv()

I think we need to denoise before sharpening so I think this script is better for original1:

lanczos4resize(1024,768)
TemporalDegrain2(postFFT=4, ppSCD1=1, thSCD2=20, fftThreads=2) # denoised

There is still a loss of detail. It looks very smooth and unnatural. It doesn't seem realistic. Also dehaloing is very bad.

kedautinh12

4th October 2023, 13:13

Yeah, i can't make a magic to add more details lost when your original source was lost details too. I compared with my encoded and your original source frame by frame with 400% zoom in AVSPmod

kedautinh12

4th October 2023, 13:21

And if you want realistic from your video after denoiser, you need add clean grain back with this script
FilmGrainPlus(preset="Vision2 5218 500T")

Btw, you don't requested very high when your source video lost very much details. Hope someone can do very well with your high requested :D

Your life will better when you reduce high requested when your video source lost very much details but you blame denoiser (i compared frame by frame). If you want your source video take back details, you can try some software to draw details were losted (maybe) :D

And deformities relate interlaced not noised.

I'm so sorry. You were right. I realized the original (full) video was progressive.

But I exported it as interlaced to split it into the following sample parts.

Original(512x384)
https://mediafire.com/file/ldfiyrscrrv85gz/Original1.avi/file

Original2(512x384)
https://mediafire.com/file/24uvlc89yzx6atx/Original2.avi/file

But I guess both interlaced and bad denoising causes deformaties during noise reduction.

For example when I use DegrainDenoiseSharpen with the default values, it doesn't cause deformaties in the original (full) progressive video.

But when I increase the value of the denoising parameters(sigma,thSAD etc.), or use other denoisers, it causes deformaties in the original (full) progressive video.

https://i.ibb.co/DW5k1h2/1.png (https://imgbb.com/)
The incompatible name of the dll does not lead to a crash. The dll name is only important for a correct assignment of the functions and parameters for e.g. the sliders or the tooltips in the editor.

If AvsPmod crashes without showing an error message (only system error message), then there is usually a serious error. It is then usually a crash due to an access violation. So Avisynth or a dll crashes and takes AvsPmod with it into the abyss.

Are all Dll's really 32bit versions?
I have an archive here with which TemporalDegrain2 works for me. I didn't check whether they were current versions because I no longer use 32bit.

Default has to have a default value, eg "SomeArguementName = Default(SomeArguementName,Default_Value)"
http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Internal_functions#Default

Default

Default(x, d)
Returns x if Defined(x) is true, d otherwise. x must either be a function's argument or an already declared script variable (ie a variable which has been assigned a value) else an error will occur.

Examples:

function myfunc(clip c, ..., int "strength") {
...
strength = Default(strength, 4) # if not supplied make it 4
...
}

When I use AviSynthPlus-MT-r2772-with-vc_redist I'm NOT getting "invalid arguments to function 'Default'" error with the filter I use.
No, but you are getting "unexpected charecter "["" error with TemporalDegrain-v2.6.7
TemporalDegrain-v2.6.7 must use arrays, cannot be used with AviSynthPlus-MT-r2772, as already stated, you should use AviSynthPlus_3.7.3.

When I use AviSynthPlus-MT-r2772-with-vc_redist I'm NOT getting "invalid arguments to function 'Default'" error with the filter I use.
Thats because (I presume) you are still getting the error, "unexpected charecter "["" error with TemporalDegrain-v2.6.7
Avisynth will halt on the first error it encounters, only when you switch to the required AviSynthPlus_3.7.3, will you get the "invalid arguments to function 'Default'" error.

@ingoldie, the forum and Avisynth lives through the users and developers who share their work and thoughts with others.

StainlessS tried to help you and asked for your script or at least a part of it.
You are using AvsPmod, which is freely available to you including source code.

And you are making a fuss about your script which is most probably just the result of other thinkers who wrote all these functions you are using.

Do you know the proverbs:
It is more blessed to give than to receive. One hand washes the other.

But all you want to do is take. I'm surprised that anyone is still willing to help you.
Give this some thought...

Better try with latest AVS+ 3.7.3 builds and also post the question to the thread of this script - https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175798&page=16

I do not see empty arguments in Default() calls but it uses Select () ? and may be something is broken in latest AVS+ builds and it is subject to report to developers. Post error message about line of script where error with Default() raised.

Originals/Final Results

Results are now better about not loosing detail and causing deformaties.
I'm also getting much better results about denoising on other videos but i can't get it on these videos.
I don't know why?

By the way, i have changed only denoising part of my AviSynth script.

I don't think the results are good enough but better.

Is there any AviSynth equivalent of the Super-Resolution technique in Adobe Photoshop shown in the video below? ...

Since 2017, as far as I can recall, he has been requesting technical and monetary assistance, refusing to share the scripts he uses for his testing.

His posts have been repeatedly reported for violating rule 6 and attempting to obtain monetary benefit by using our forum without providing anything in return.

I remind users that the vice of asking is countered by the virtue of not giving, both for the help he requests, at least sincerely, and for the scripts he uses.

I agree.

Of course you can get money from me, if you have a script that works better than mine. For now, just provide the video result of the script.
I will send you the money and you will send me the script. I would rather pay for you than pay for other softwares(Topaz,AVCLabs,HitPaw,VanceAI Enhancers)
Why? If the script you will send me can work better than mine, it means it can work better than the other softwares.
Because it's obvious that mine works better than the other softwares.

I'm already looking for a software that would give a good(realistic, without detail loss, natural) result on video enhancement. But I can't find it.
That's why I'm trying to write an enhancement script.

So I would be grateful to you if you could send me a script that would work better than mine.

I still don't know if I've done anything significant. No one commented positively except for a few people.

Maybe I'm wrong but when I try many video enhancement softwares/scripts, I can't get a good result(natural, realistic, without deformaties and detail loss)
on video enhancement(denoising, resizing, sharpening).

If you think I'm wrong, can you please provide before(original) and after(enhanced) videos or any software/script.

For example, I prefer my AviSynth script to enhance videos I have. But if you recommend a better software/script, I would prefer it.

So which softwares/scripts do you prefer to enhance videos you have?

Or, would you prefer my Avisynth script after looking at the enhanced results? YES or NO? Why?

If we don't eliminate the side effects of AviSynth plugins, it is impossible to get a natural/realistic result.

If we don't eliminate the side effects of AviSynth plugins, it is impossible to get a natural/realistic result.
Unless you use something like diffusion model which basically invent details&co you will basically always loose information when filtering.

Can you help me with modifying EZdenoise_v4 to get an effective result about denoising without loss of detail?

function EZdenoise(clip Input, int "thSAD", int "thSADC", int "TR", int "BLKSize", int "Overlap", int "Pel", bool "Chroma", bool "out16")
{
thSAD = default(thSAD, 150)
thSADC = default(thSADC, thSAD)
TR = default(TR, 3)
BLKSize = default(BLKSize, 8)
Overlap = default(Overlap, 4)
Pel = default(Pel, 1)
Chroma = default(Chroma, false)
out16 = default(out16, false)

Super = Input.MSuper(Pel=Pel, Chroma=Chroma)
Multi_Vector = Super.MAnalyse(Multi=true, Delta=TR, BLKSize=BLKSize, Overlap=Overlap, Chroma=Chroma)

Input.MDegrainN(Super, Multi_Vector, TR, thSAD=thSAD, thSAD2=int(float(thSAD*0.9)), thSADC=thSADC, thSADC2=int(float(thSADC*0.9)), out16=out16)

When I lower thSAD to 150,
that is the default,...
Can you help me with modifying EZdenoise_v4 to get an effective result about denoising without loss of detail?
Try something like SMDegrain instead.
If there was an obvious way to denoise without removing details, we would use it all,..
The problem is that nobody has come up with a way to reliably identify noise or details. So everything out there uses some heuristics/guesses what is noise and should be removed. :D
All the different DeNoise&Degrain filters are just different approaches to separate details from noise.

As a side note: If you want to remove compression artifacts and not noise, you might want to look into Oyster (it's probably too slow for most cases, but it can produce nice results when adjusted to the source.)

LWLibavVideoSource("C:\Users\Admin\Input.mkv") <-- or any source filter of your choice.
EZdenoise(TR=8, Chroma=true, out16=true)
ConvertBits(10, dither=1)
Prefetch(4)

Quality/SpeedUp trade-off: Use TR=X where X is any value. Higher=slower but more noise removed.
Quality: Chroma=true, out16=true. Higher quality at the cost of speed.
Quality: Use ConvertBits(10, dither=1) for 10bit encodes, otherwise use 8.
SpeedUp: Use Prefetch(X) where X is half of your "Logical processors"

When I add FFT3DFilter(sigma=1.3), I can achieve more effective noise removal without losing detail, but it is not enough.

function EZdenoise(clip Input, int "thSAD", int "thSADC", int "TR", int "BLKSize", int "Overlap", int "Pel", bool "Chroma", bool "out16")
{
thSAD = default(thSAD, 150)
thSADC = default(thSADC, thSAD)
TR = default(TR, 3)
BLKSize = default(BLKSize, 8)
Overlap = default(Overlap, 4)
Pel = default(Pel, 1)
Chroma = default(Chroma, false)
out16 = default(out16, false)

Super = Input.MSuper(Pel=Pel, Chroma=Chroma)
Multi_Vector = Super.MAnalyse(Multi=true, Delta=TR, BLKSize=BLKSize, Overlap=Overlap, Chroma=Chroma)

Input.MDegrainN(Super.FFT3DFilter(sigma=1.3), Multi_Vector, TR, thSAD=thSAD, thSAD2=int(float(thSAD*0.9)), thSADC=thSADC, thSADC2=int(float(thSADC*0.9)), out16=out16)

Personally, I prefer pictures a little blurry than looking like they've been sharpened.

I let my guard down and managed to find myself involved in this via PM a few days ago, so here's my contribution to the encoding of Original 1. It's not as sharp as other offerings, but at least bits of the picture aren't wobbling around. Well... very little.

LSFMod(Strength=75)
GradFun3Plus()
ConvertBits(8, Dither=0)
Prefetch(12)

The second sample has noise in the form of background "mush"' for want of a better description. Can it be de-mushed without losing at least a tiny amount of detai?

@ ingoldie,
I forgot to answer your question regarding the MDegrainNL functions I sent you. Try specifying Precise=true to see how much better that works, or doesn't as the case may be. It'll be slower.

@ Everyone else,
The MDegrainNL functions I just mentioned are much like the EzDenoise function posted above, only with more bells and whistles. MDegrainNLS is much like the MCDegrainSharp function, because it can sharpen.....

I offered the above explanation because it felt a bit rude, mentioning something in a post here that we'd only referred to via PM, so now I don't feel rude.... and if anyone wants to try the functions, there's a link below. They usually remove very fine noise or film grain quite well, but I don't use them for much more than that.

I will definitely share the scripts in return for financial support, but I don't know how to prove it.
Why I want financial support? Because I want to devote all my time to this job instead of working in another job.
To achieve a better result.
By the way, an invention that makes money for its inventor is more respected.

I think the results are good enough now. If I share my AviSynth Video Enhancement Script we can improve upon it together to get better results.

Do you know of an organization that can provide me with financial support?

Who knows what you did?
In my opinion, you should redo your tests and make sure your result is based on the source that you represented here, otherwise all your results do not really seem trustworthy.
side note: your results seem oversampled, at least on a larger screen I prefer a smoother variant https://www.mediafire.com/file/fmruyoezyc2l563/not_so_oversharpend.mp4/file, sharper (https://www.mediafire.com/file/6x77ec90xj46eav/sharp.mp4/file) still not as oversharpened as your result.

I suppose it demonstrates YouTube's super resolution as well as any other random clip. But we have no idea what resolution the upsampled one was, originally. Was it just 480p (the highest non-super resolution available) or was it higher? Who knows.

And the same with the "native" 1080p one. It's not from the same image as colour and geometry is different.

So, in short... we can't really tell anything from that.

I think I've completed my video enhancement script.

Does anyone know of any companies that need video enhancement service?

If you can somehow help me earn just $1000 a month, or give an AviSynth script that produces better video enhancement results than mine, I'll release the code.

There's zero market for Avisynth scripts in general, let alone one that someone has spent years on yet can be broadly matched or bettered in five minutes with modern tools.

Not to mention all your examples seem to be enacted on sources of low quality and dubious legality.

I already showed you an example that I spent 5 minutes on and was pretty much indistinguishable from your result. And your latest one is barely differentiable from a bilinear upscale with a bit of (too much, in fact) noise reduction.

I think you're talking about

* Left: mine (took a few minutes of messing around with filters), right: yours (https://i.ibb.co/QjhPgQYY/image.png)

Can you provide the video?

I still don't know if there's any software that will provide better results than mine.

I think there's plenty lol

There are many answers, but no proof.

Can you name a software and provide an enhanced result?

The answers are not convincing.

For that specific case I think the ingoldie result looks better. Less auras. E.g., look at the red arrow in the top left and the word WANTED. JMHO

This could probably be matched with either something like temporal degrain 2 or maybe even just a little blur

I think I've completed my video enhancement script.

I was wrong.

I am using 2 different denoisers and one of them is fft3dfilter.

I realized it causes an annatural result.

fft3dfilter is not a great choice for a denoiser, although it still can be used as a prefilter in some circumstances.

I accept everything that has been said about me so far. Forget about all my posts. Suppose I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.

Can you provide an AviSynth script or a software that produces the following results with the noise removed based on the original?

If the Avisynth script or software I'm looking for isn't available, or you don't know if it is available, why is it so difficult for you to tell me that?Answer: because we don't know what you are looking for. Most other people in this forum are very happy with the dozens of noise reduction scripts that have been developed and presented here, for free, so that others can enjoy the benefits of their work. Most other people are happy to accept the inevitable and unavoidable tradeoffs that each script presents. They then do their work, enjoy the results of their efforts, and get on with life.

There is no noise reduction solution that won't produce artifacts of some sort. That is the nature of any restoration, whether digital or otherwise.

I think it is admirable that you are chasing perfection, but since it does not exist, you should instead restore your videos as best you can and then watch them!! That is, after all, the point of the whole exercise.

I use SMDegrain for denoising.

https://github.com/Dogway/Avisynth-Scripts/blob/master/SMDegrain/SMDegrain.avsi

But I realized it causes deformities. I tried it for many video files.

I think "prefilter" is the reason for this problem.

Could you help me resolve this problem?

But I realized it causes deformities.

It also causes detail loss.

So I used another denoiser.

More detailed, natural and no deformities.

You can take clean source of your type and add noise and try to denoise and use some compare filter to measure similarity like psnr or ssim or others.

This will make quality measurement for you.

Columbo

22nd August 2026, 13:40

How do we check on our own clips? AFAIK, the script is closed source so you cannot test it on your own clips, unless the author does it for you. The author is waiting for financial support to release the script.

some additional emphasizing:

zoomed in:
https://i.ibb.co/HfCWSwmp/grafik.png (https://ibb.co/8LbWCvF4)
'no deformaties' seems too enthusiastic.

I like the detail enhancement, in some parts, but in others details 'appear' that naturally would not be noticeable, which kind of breaks the 'natural' part.

Still trying to enhance some old XviD rips is probably not what most people are looking for. Especially when buying or streaming offers better quality sources.
Using VHS/DV captures as example source might be better,..
(not really knowing what the target audience is you are aiming for)
