Soothe() - small helper function for sharpening with less temporal jitter

[salehin]

Re mod16: As foxyshadis said, it's not mandatory. But if you do that, then it is generally better for compression.

ok,but if i want to do it,how?

With MC'ed temporal limiting which is the right place for soothe()?

a. Before limiting:
s = last
den =s.myden
sharp = den.mysharpen

calm = soothe(sharp, den, 49)
calm.mt_clamp(pmax, pmin, 1, 1, U=2, V=2)


b. after limiting:
s = last
den =s.myden
sharp = den.mysharpen

limS = sharp.mt_clamp(pmax, pmin, 1, 1, U=2, V=2)
soothe(limS, den, 49)


c. before and after limiting:
s = last
den =s.myden
sharp = den.mysharpen

calm = soothe(sharp, den, 49)
limS = calm.mt_clamp(pmax, pmin, 1, 1, U=2, V=2)
soothe(limS, den, 49)

Oh, oh-oh ... that's because I used the Soothe function of SeeSaw, which has the parameters inversed (in SeeSaw the meaning is not "keep", but rather "strength") ... Standalone Soothe doesn't even use "negative" values.

In this respect, it's all a big mess with Soothe. Agreed. :D


Need some clarification.

Can we use the standalone Soothe function with SeeSaw, or does SeeSaw already has a Soothe function built in?

you can use soothe of seesaw (SootheSS) from https://github.com/realfinder/AVS-Stuff/blob/54de25b916b9c816af57cc506eb572fb1762ded7/avs%202.5%20and%20up/Zs_RF_Shared.avsi#L140 (it is sh_SootheSS now)

Just an update:

Using Soothe() today with Avisynth+ x64, and MaskTools2 x64, I've been getting an error saying yv12lutxy is an invalid function. I believe this can be fixed by editing the soothe.avsi script and replacing yv12lutxy with mt_lutxy instead. There are 3 instances that need to be replaced.

Example:
"diff = yv12lutxy(orig,sharp,"x y - 128 +", U=1,V=1)" changes to "diff = mt_lutxy(orig,sharp,"x y - 128 +", U=1,V=1)".

Seems to work for me, but I'm an Avisynth idiot, so maybe someone better than me can confirm?

Or you can try other development ver of Soothe
