Good antialiasing in avisynth?

[Srivas]

Hi there.

I have a video and I dont know how to do remove the jaggy edges while maintaining the sharpness. It's an interlaced source and will be uploaded to youtube. So after noise reduction, qtgmc and upscaling, the jaggy edges are still quite visible. I wouldn't want to blur it out either. There are many antialiasing filters but I thought asking before starting to poke around as usual. Any suggestions?

And here is a clip of the source also.

Try Santiag() or TurnRight().Santiag().TurnLeft() or both.

assuming the video is deinterlaced you can try:
NNEDI3(field=-2)
Merge(SelectEven(),SelectOdd())

Try Santiag() or TurnRight().Santiag().TurnLeft() or both.

Thanks jagabo! Pretty good now.

TurnRight().Santiag().TurnLeft() is slightly better than simply Santiag()

One thing though, it seems to degrade the bobbing effect of QTGMC. Is there a way to avoid this? Is it because the clip is interlaced and Santiag is meant for progressive input?

Edit: Dunno it is the right way but when adding Santiag after Qtgmc then it comes out good with nice bobbed frames.

[jagabo]

Yes, you must use Santiag() after QTGMC(). Otherwise it will blur the two fields together.

santiag() or aaa()
Remember that you can stack them for better results. Sometimes it helps, sometimes now.

santiag()
santiag()
santiag()

or

santiag()
aaa()

etc

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.
