subtitle blurring

[videobruger]

Your height h of 104 is wrong.

It should be from the bottom of the subtitles not the bottom of the frame

Also the sum of your y (437) and h (104) is 541.

However the height of your frame is only 536.

it is from bottom of subtitles the height I'm a bit lost when you say frame

you mean exact bottom of screen



so how do I make correct measurements


where you finding height of frame is 536

I just changed height to 88 so 437 + 88 = 525 which is under 541 so why do I still get this error

Why don't you just read the documentation for the delogo filter? It clearly spells out the parameters:

http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#delogo

The coordinates of the of the delogo box are the top left corner of the box, followed by the width and height of the box. No part of the box may extend outside the frame.

ok many thanks once again for all your help and others here I will search for some youtube videos on it, as I'm not that good yet

[Budman1]

@natty...

Hi thank you so much for your help. in that 1st picture I see you have 4 rulers on picture, so basicly I would have to measure 1: left side of screen to left side of subtitle
2: top of subtitle to top of screen. 3: width of ST , and 4: height

so is that x y w h so batch file would say in accordance to your picture

Yes x= number of pixels across and y = number of pixels down. So for a 720x480 video (upper left being 0) would have x=0 to 719 across and 0 to 479 down. W = the width of the box you wish to blur and H = the height of the box you wish to blur:

You can measure with just one ruler and do the math as shown below. 200 is the X point where you wish to start the blur upper left and it extend for 380 pixels to 580. Then just rotate the ruler and do the same for Y measurement. so X would = 200, W would = 380 and then Y and H would be from vertical measurement.

ATTN Number 280 should be 580, duh!

I dont quite understand about that ffplay, would i have to make another bat file for that
this is a bit confusing for me as like i said earlier I am useless at all this but willing to learn
btw I did notice when I played my converted movie back where i blurred subtitles. it was just a single line blurred, as it showed a ST above where i blurred so it seems you have to look for the biggest ST like maybe 3 lines

I download ffmpeg from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ and in the bin folder there are ffmpeg, ffplay and ffprobe. FFplay allows testing your ffmpeg script without using output filters or filename. That is why

"c:\Program Files\ffmpeg-3.3.3-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg" -i "%1" -vf delogo=x=425:y=415:w=449:h=120 -c:a aac -b:a 192k "%~dpn1.delogo.mkv"

becomes

"ffplay" -i %1 -vf delogo=x=340:y=400:w=230:h=30:show=1

to view the test blur.

would i have to make another bat file

You would not have to make another bat file but it would making testing easier by just dropping the video on the 'display.bat'
Regarding the ST... you will have to make your blur box big enough to cover all of the subtitle, including possible multiple lines, or make separate areas in your ffmpeg script:

Ok many thanks budman1. I will study what you said

But I am a bit confused what it says for delogo

X

Y
Specify the top left corner coordinates of the logo. They must be specified.

[jagabo]

I export a frame of the video to an image editor (an old version of PhotoImpact) that has the ability to mark a rectangle show show the coordinates:



Note the status bar at the bottom of the image shows the x and y coordinates of the top left and bottom right of the box, and the width/height of the box.

I have actually done this with irfanview put x y w h coordinates in bat file but still get errors so am lost to where I am going wrong. Will try again.

[jagabo]

Upload a sample video, a sample frame that you exported, the coordinates you got, and the ffmpeg command line. We'll tell you where you went wrong.

How do you mean a sample frame. I exported

I'm sorry to be such a pain. But like I have said before. I am a slow learner but willing to learn. I have learnt so much from all you people. And believe me it's most appreciated

[jagabo]

How do you mean a sample frame. I exported

You said you used an image editor to get the coordinates. So you must have exported a frame from the video and imported it into the image editor.

Oh I see what you mean now will upload what you require tomorrow and thanks again

[Budman1]

In case it helps, this is how an image or video coordinates are laid out. I just took an image of your original post and have shown how you get the coordinates of that image. Your video may be another size but the layout and measurements are done the same. Using an image editor is an excellent way to get the coordinates but if you play a video, pause and use the ruler, this is how the X/Y/W/H are derived from upper left to lower right.

Hi thanks for this but I still get errors. its doing my head in now. I have made a short clip, which is still uploading to drop box, but taking ages to upload, mind you it is 371MB so probably thats why, so once its uploaded I will place link here. I paused the video using VLC player at 00:10 I used the rulers 4 in all. also used Irfanview to draw a oblong box around subtitle. but as you can see the measurements are completely different to the Rulers, so am baffled by all that. in this snapshot below in the yellow oblong box which is x and y numbers, as i assume its 1st number is x 2nd number is y then w and h



this is what i did with rulers and also as you can see I made a box around subtitles with Irfanview, but both methods different



this is box i made around subtitle with Irfanview



VLC player measurements



this is the bat file I used

I cant believe how long this clip is taking to upload so dam slow it says now still 34 mins been uploading for ages I just checked it again it says 30 mins, then again its back up to say 31 weird now again says 33mins dont make sense dropbox then back down again to 30mins

at last here is movie clip I used

What's the error message you get with that command line? The forum has messed up the command line (use code boxes, not quote boxes, or turn on the "Disable smilies in text" option) but I think your problem is the comma at the end of the third delogo=... line. That makes ffmpeg think there is another filter coming. And, of course, the frame numbers are totally inappropriate for this video.

Yes you did. I didn't post a batch file, I posted text in a code box. So you must have made the batch file from that text. And somewhere along the line added the crap.

[natty]

this is bat file

 "c:\Program Files\ffmpeg-3.3.3-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg" -y -i %1  -vf ^
"delogo=enable='between(n,24,71)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98, ^
delogo=enable='between(n,96,143)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98, ^
delogo=enable='between(n,168,215)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98, ^
" -c:a copy "%~dpn1.delogo.mkv":show1
pause

I already told you there should not be a comma near the end of the last delogo line. And there should not be that extra :show1 after the output filename?

I think its best if I give up on all this as all i get is errors most of the time. just cannot see what i do wrong. I make a oblong box around subtitle, place these x y w h coordinates in the bat file, but just get constant errors.

If you stop adding extra junk to the batch files you wouldn't be having these problems. I put things in code boxes so you can copy/paste exactly.

I think you are wrong saying stop adding junk to the batch files. I never made those batch files at all. someone here did, cant remember who.

My post #55 does not have any of that extra crap.

It's not until later in your posts 74 and 76 that the extra junk shows up:

Ok yes you are correct, I did add code to bat file wrong please accept my apologies, its just that i get so confused, with all this. and it seems by that I have added wrong things

anyway I just removed :show 1 at end also removed the extra comma

  ,

from end of line 3 as you said tried movieclip, and it didnt blur all of subtitles, only a few is this wrong or is it suppose to remove only a few

this is new bat file i used

  "c:\Program Files\ffmpeg-3.3.3-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg" -y -i %1  -vf ^
"delogo=enable='between(n,24,71)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98, ^
delogo=enable='between(n,96,143)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98, ^
delogo=enable='between(n,168,215)':x=449:y=428:w=392:h=98 ^
" -c:a copy "%~dpn1.delogo.mkv"
pause

I think its best if I pack all this in as its been going on for quite a while now. what ever I do it comes back with errors. I have used both methods, to make a oblong box around subtitles, used the coordinates from Irfanview. also used rulers but measurements are not same as Irfanview so I give up now

I just like to thank all here who have helped me, believe me its most appreciated. its just a pity its not working right for me but i cant see where I go wrong most times. I do as asked yes I have made mistakes etc. but all i wanted was a script to blur subtitles, never knew it would be so hard

[jagabo]

it didnt blur all of subtitles, only a few is this wrong or is it suppose to remove only a few

Of course it didn't remove all the subtitles. The whole point of post #55 was to show an example of how you could remove individual substitles. The 'between(n,24,71)' text means apply the particular filter only to frames 24 through 71. And it wasn't made for your latest video but for videobruger's "before.mkv" sample video in post #10. The three frame ranges correspond to the first three subs in that video.
