InPaintDelogo weird colors

[kinglerch]

I will post some samples if needed, but hoping this is an easy issue to solve. I have a logo.bmp with a perfectly white logo, and an AVI file. Using the following script does work (I guess) but rather than a grey logo, there are neon colors inside the logo. Darks are purple, skin is pink, etc. The rest of the picture is fine, but the delogoed part is weird. What am I missing?

avisource("clip.avi")
inpaintdelogo(mask="D:\mask6.bmp",Loc="788,400,-672,-410", Automask=0, Mode="Deblend")

FWIW, Inpaint doesn't have the color issue, but since the logo is semi-transparent, Deblend would have a better result. Thanks!

Share the files created by InpaintDelogo and cut a sample of the video [or whole video].

Ok, here is my entire test directory: https://we.tl/t-Mcbuo0r74A

I used Automask=1 to create the mask, not sure why it made a dartboard, but this is a test so that part doesn't really matter right now. You can see the crazy colors within the mask:

Your video is less than 2 minutes and logo takes ~half of the screen.
InpaintDelogo can't remove such automatically, usually you need ~hour long video and smaller logo to remove it automatically. So you would need to do that manually.

Btw, the logo is not "semi-transparent", it's just transparent.

I am just using this 2min video and large logo to test my installation and see of InPaintDelogo is working. Are you saying if the logo was smaller and the video was longer, it wouldn't have those neon colors?

I'm saying what I wrote, the rest is your imagination.

Then what you wrote had nothing to do with solving this issue with InPaintDelogo, but thanks anyway

When you don't understand the issue and the answer, you can't make an intelligent conclusion.

If the issue is "neon colors" then solution is simple - don't touch the video and it will be without "neon colors".

I asked for help, on a site called "Video Help", which I have been doing for over 20 years. But the answer was not clear, nor intelligent. I guess the site is not what it used to be.

But the answer was not clear, nor intelligent.

Looks clear to me:

Why you have the issue? - "InpaintDelogo can't remove such automatically".
How to solve the issue? - "you would need to do that manually".

[kinglerch]

Just because it is clear to you, doesn't mean it's clear to anyone else. "InpaintDelogo can't do that automatically" is not an answer to "why are the colors neon?". Also what does "do that manually" mean? Like, go into Photoshop and remove each pixel by hand? Or create the mask manually? Or use another tool entirely?

Because FYI, I also tried this on a much longer video with a much smaller mask and the problem was the same.

"InpaintDelogo can't do that automatically" is not an answer to "why are the colors neon?".

"the colors neon" is irrelevant to your issue.
Btw, in your test you didn't set Loc and the basemask doesn't contain logo at all.

Also what does "do that manually" mean? Like, go into Photoshop and remove each pixel by hand? Or create the mask manually? Or use another tool entirely?

That means you have to make the masks manually, you can do that with InpaintDelogo, Photoshop & ect. To do that you would need to understand the delogo principles and InpaintDelogo parameters.

I also tried this on a much longer video with a much smaller mask and the problem was the same.

Probably that's different issue.
