Visual Color Correction App

// Update:
New Version 0.4.7 is uploaded here: (still Beta)
7z = 1.700 KB

more Infos
end Update //



Hello,

I have written an App that should make ColorCorrection a bit easier.
Screenshots are added to the post.

The App has a Readmefile that tells how to install. (simple unzip, but needs VB6 Runtime and registered dll for used Controls)
A (currently short) Help is inside the app.
It supports KeyboardShortcuts for the most common Tasks, so it could be fast and simple in use. ( also intuitive I hope, but this can be discussed ;-) )

It is written in (old) Visual Basic 6, because this is the only programming language I know, (besides PHP, what is a script language). For all AviSynth-Editing I use AvsP and like it very very much. To "colorcorrect a bunch of DV-Captures" is not a very convenient Task in a TextEditor, e.g. if you do it with ColorYUV. So I have started writing the vcc4avs. It would be very useful to have this feature directly into AvsP, there for I will ask the author (qwerpoi) if he can support COM-Interface by AvsP-Macro. It is not my intention to create a new AVS-Editor, but also I cannot contribute to the AvsP-Project because I don't know Python or any other then VB. Maybe the COM-Interface is a practical way.

Following a copy/paste from the Helpfile:

-----------------------------
HELP :: GENERAL

vcc4avs = Visual Color Correction for AviSynth


STATE: first TEST !!

Most of the planned functionality is implemented, but not at finished state. Also some parts are not functional or be in a very basic state. (like the output, this currently is only presented in a Textbox for copy and paste)



Current Overview:

It can visual show videostream and lets you define color correction for your AviSynthfiles.

Currently supported ColorFunction is 'ColorYUV' (also with the new Plugin ColorKeyFrame of Fizick! Great Tool, even simple handling with my vcc4avs ;-) ). If Testphase is over, I will add the functions 'Tweak' and 'RGB_Adjust' too.

It allows define Clipsections/KeyFrames.

It allows seeking with Sliders or Keys, (see KeyboardShortcuts).

In EditMode (CorrectionControl) it presents ColorInformation of selected Pixel and it's immediate neighbours.

Simply toggle between PreviewModes by Keypress, e.g. for ColorYUV: P = Preview, A = Analyze, Y = ShowYUV, with SHIFT and P,A,Y the uncorrected SourceStraem is shown. Pixelinfos in ColorInspectorWindow is updated automaticaly for last selected Pixel.

Supported Colormodes for ColorInfos are RGB, YUV and HSB.


For a first start, please have a look to KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Section of this help and than play around a bit and let me know what you think about it.

-----------------------------

If you currently don't know ColorKeyFrame Plugin, see this Thread, get it and test it.

@Fizick: it is awesome! :-)


What to tell more? - The app saves configuration into ini file. Nothing is written to Registry. It can be started from USB-Stick too, because it handles/store config for different PCs identified by "Computername" in the inifile.

You should try it out ;-)
