O.K probably was wrong. Have you tried show preview in delogo itself?
I mean load it for example to color or so. But it is not right.
Iam downloading delogo and going to try it by myself. Will tell you.
Edit: Can't find for VD2 delogo... sorry then...

Attached is a short video made from your sample image in post #1 and a BMP image suitable for the VirtualDub Delogo 1.3.2 filter by Karel Suhajda. My image in post #16 was made with these. Here's the delogo dialog with the BMP image loaded:
Also included is a batch file that uses ffplay to play the video with its delogo filter. You'll need to change the path to ffplay.exe. Then just drag/drop the video onto the batch file to play it. -
Hi its very kind of you to do all this. but Im afraid it still has not removed subtitles. I did exactly the same added video to VD add filter delogo. load that bmp image. I couldn't click repair as it was ghosted. then went to save a small clip of video to test. as .avi. checked it and at 1st lot of subtitles was still there. I took a snapshot below
also in the delogo.zip file it contained these files below, but that video was just a slide show of that delogo.bmp picture no video
so i decided again to mess with that pandys script the 2nd one in my 1st post. and got it at last to cover subtitles. but is there anyway the blur can be adjusted, as it seems a bit too much to me
I am very grateful for your help jagabo, plus also everyone elses too. but things dont seem to be working only that script.
if anyone here can say how to adjust the % of the blur it would help a lot -
The BMP file I provided was specifically for the video that came with it, not some other video that's of unknown frame size. I believe that's the reason you can't enable the repair option -- your video and the BMP image need to have the same dimensions. I don't know the dimensions of your source video since you've only provided a few cropped/scaled images. The point of sending a matching pair was so you could see a working example.

What is the resolution of your video?? Your repair image is 1920x800. That looks like it is only one field from the frame. This is why I disagree with the advice to copy/paste the frame because some copy operations only end up working on one field (as one example, if you use any version of Vegas, and set the preview resolution to anything other than "Best," you only get half-sized videos when you copy). If your video is 1920x1080 (the typical HD video format) and you try to repair with an image that is 1920x800, and if your logos are at the bottom, then that repair mask will be completely misaligned. You can test this theory by looking halfway down the video, in the Delogo preview window, and see if you notice some fuzzing where the logos would be if there were halfway up the screen from the bottom.
The right way to do this -- and it is so trivial to do that there is absolutely no reason to do it any other way -- is exactly what I showed in the video: in Delogo, on the Analyze Frame line (the first line in that big group), you click on Save Frame. You save it as a bitmap (BMP) file and then open that file in Photoimpact. Proceed from there.Last edited by johnmeyer; 11th Oct 2018 at 14:32. Reason: typo

Hi I must really apologies to you. I didnt realise that video.mkv was a test I tried that .bmp image included and yes its worked
is there a way to make the blur more faded

Ok yes you are right the video is 1920x800
and I have exported this image from movie in VD
made a red box over subs
opened VD opened video which is 1920x800
added delogo and said load the image above. but when I looked at preview the subtitles are still there. mind you maybe its because I have not yet saved as avi
so i think I am slowly getting there -
Seem delogo filter doesn't allow blur adjustment, blur can be controlled indirectly by stacking trough overlay frame with and without delogo filter (as overlay allow to control translucency. Alternatively you may think on processing only limited part of video (crop) trough delogo and apply result to source trough overlay.
ideal delogo (but also subtitle removal) will use some form of inpainting - sadly ffmpeg doesn't have such filter (yet!).
Above explanation for my understanding of the "adjust how much blur" .
But perhaps you asking how to control coordinates (adjust area size and place where blur is applied).
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#delogo
delogo in script is controlled by:
Code:@rem video width @set vwidth=720 @rem subtitle area width @set subw=160 @rem delogo filter is centered on video @set xv=(%vwidth%-%subw%)/2 @set yv=217 @set subh=47

Will do some testing on the above thanks
Jagabo Your red box isn't perfectly red. It has RGB values of 248,20,20, not 255,0,0. It's also a PNG file, not a BMP file. But that may be imgur's conversion. Try this BMP image:
I can assure you it was a .bmp file which i saved from photoimpact. and I used ShareX v12.2 to upload it here so cant see why it says .png also how can I get RGB values like you said in PhotoImpact as I just made a red box with paintbrush over subs.
and your PObtzmL.zip has worked so Im a bit confused as I save as .bmp from PhotoImpact -
Probably it uploaded as PNG because it is way smaller and lossless, so 100% accurate to original and saved lot of space. Other way of using any uploader than save time and bandwith i don't see . Try look in pallete, didn't know that program. You should be able to choose any color by typing in palette Red, Green and Blue values you want. Krita and Gimp are free and first seems to me be more useable, i don't like Gimp.
Bernix -
Yes, I said both in my tutorial, and then again here in this thread, that the red MUST be pure RGB red: 256,0,0. If it isn't, the mask won't work at all.
As for adjusting the blur, I also covered that in my tutorial (not to be snarky, but did you look at it more than once?). At approximately the 1:10 mark in that video I say, "You an adjust the depth, power, and pixel aspect ratio" to make the repair look better. These controls will adjust various aspects of the blur, just like you asked. Also, as I said in the tutorial, make sure to click the "Interlaced" check box, if your video is interlaced.
That tutorial has now been viewed 28,000 times, and I've only had about ten questions (out of the 31 comments), so I'm pretty sure most of the bases are covered.
I think I've done all that I can with this situation. Hopefully you'll get it worked out. It looks like you've gotten it to work once, so I'm sure you'll get the rest worked out. -
Yes I heard you saying in your video about depth. Power. And pixel aspect. But on mine they are all ghosted so therefore how am I suppose to use them if I can't even move them. I can see now the image with red square has to be as same size as video. 1920x800 as .bmp but just couldn't see where to make it 255.0.0 but will try again tomorrow as not on PC
Thank you all Ever so much. It's been really informative.
And it's most appreciated. Like I said I'm very amateur on all this but learning loads from you experts
I will keep studying your tutorial -
This can be outcome of conversion from RGB to YCbCr and back (can't check now fully reversible RGB -> YCbCr -> RGB conversion) - IMHO you cannot have Pure RGB 255,0,0 in 8 bit YCbCr domain as pure Red lead to Y:62.5 ; Cb:102.25 ; Cr:240 (709) - after truncating to 8 bit YCbCr probably some errors will occur.
-
I have now tried using paint.net cant even now remember what i did. so will try again later, but made sure it saved as RGB 255.0.0 as .bmp loaded it in VD etc. and its worked as I just couldnt see where in photoimpact you save as RGB 255.0.0 I have now watched the tutorial 5 times. I see you zoomed into image. and I also have those sliders same too.
all i need to know now is where to have these 3 sliders, also How do i tell if video is interlaced
I just like to say many thanks to all who have helped here, I know this has gone on a bit, but I do appreciate it all -

Also i think your video is in 2,4:1 i would leave pixel ratio at 1:1.
Damn show signature, always forgot.

Well when I say show preview. and try to move sliders it says not responding, so VD freeze up cant do anything. I was just asking as if I move sliders before i say preview they will then move, but was just asking so i can then set them up
bernix Also i think your video is in 2,4:1 i would leave pixel ratio at 1:1.
And power as small as white from subs are not visible.
Damn show signature, always forgot.
what do you mean byDamn show signature, always forgot -
Hi,
I mean and this is my personal problem. Don't like showing my signature, software on bottom that I used or using now. It is in additional options. Time to delete my signature, to get rid of unticking it in options when replying.
2,4 because 1920x800 is 2,4 ratio. You have mentioned this. It is almost 2,35 and the pixel ratio difference is really small. But your latest screenshot doesn't seems to be 2,4:1 it is something between 4/3 and 16/10.
And since it seems not be from camera, expecting pixel 1:1

The place where the logos used to be will be replaced with a blur of the adjacent pixels. You are not going to have some magic where the logo is erased and then replaced with some perfect clone of the adjacent area. What you show is exactly what I'd expect to see.
-
The subs will never be visible because the filter uses inpainting, not blurring.
The only way to get less blurring is to use a more form fitting mask. But that's not really practical with subtitles over an entire video. You'd have to make a different mask for every subtitle.Last edited by jagabo; 12th Oct 2018 at 11:16.

Of course it will never be visible. I was mistaken by white color on the right edge. Once it has rectangular mask it is logical. And you are @Jagabo right. Sorry to confuse others. Will delete it.
Bernix -
Well this will be last post on this subject now. as I have it working ok at long last Phew. is that a big CHEER heheh thank you so so much johnmeyer, for your tutorial. even though I am now using paint.net, as cant see where to change RGB to 255.0.0 but can on paint.net so thats why PhotoImpact wont save as RGB 255.0.0 as cant see in video how. well correction photoimpact probably does but buggered if I can see where
Also many thanks to Pandy, Jagabo, plus Bernix apology if this went on a while, but like I said Im a real amateur
many thanks all -
Personally, I'd rather see static subtitles than the big moving blob you get from inpainting.
-
I don't disagree, although it does depend on the nature of the source material. For instance, I have a lot of music concerts from the 1960s that were recorded on stage, and have the broadcast timecodes burned permanently at the bottom of the screen. The timecodes have 1/10 second increments, so they are changing almost every frame, unlike subtitles and logos which are constant. Really distracting.
However, because they are at the bottom of the screen, and because the talent is often brightly lit, and the bottom of the screen is either below the stage, or the dimly-lit up-stage area (i.e. the bottom of the screen is dark, with no details), the Delogo operation blends the timecode with the almost pure dark background, and they disappear with almost no trace left behind. In this case, the result is far more watchable.
