The lines are too thin for my tastes

remove the awarpsharp2, or use a lower depth value

when someone suggests something , it's only meant as a possible starting place. You should always explore the settings and adjust until you get something you like - everyone has different opinions/tastes and quality is subjective

How I can explore the deen? (parameters etc)

How I can explore the deen? (parameters etc)

Most filters have INSTRUCTIONS and DOCUMENTATION that describe the settings, but unfortunately deen does not (not officially anyways)

You can read a brief description here
http://www.aquilinestudios.org/avsfilters/spatial.html#deen

EDIT: whoops jagabo beat me to it...

There are other filters described there, but most of them are very old, and not used very often these days


I suggest you use avspmod, push f5 for preview . It also lists the settings when you are typing for some functions (see screenshot). You can compare different filters or script versions in multiple tabs (push number keys to flip between them quickly) , and you can programs sliders (so it's like a GUI), and use macros

I used "Deen("mode="a2d", rad=4, thrY=7, thrUV=9, min=0.5)"

Deen (j/k) Then I got it.

[poisondeathray]

the quotations are in the wrong place
Deen(mode="a2d", rad=4, thrY=7, thrUV=9, min=0.5)

[LeoHenrique]

Same thing

[poisondeathray]

it's working for me

make sure it's exaclty like that, no weird spaces or characters. Copy & paste it.


what version of deen.dll ? IIRC there are a few floating around and some of the earlier versions didn't have all the modes available


If you still get error message, post your exact script (copy & paste it back here, verbatim)

[LeoHenrique]

I can't remember, send your .dll, please.

[poisondeathray]

The one I am using is actually an older version with the different modes available as explained on that page

MarcFD's page and the AVISynth Filter Collection both contain only the most recent version, which does not have these modes.)

I can't find an official site , this one is hosting the newer version, so I will upload it below
http://avisynth.org/warpenterprises/

[LeoHenrique]

I can spot some interlacing here and some other frames as well.

[poisondeathray]

I haven't looked at any of your videos closely yet ; is that screenshot from a video you posted? If so , which one ?

If you haven't posted it, then post an unprocessed sample that contains the problem

Also post your current avs script

[LeoHenrique]

Yes, It is a screnshot from the episode, not from the frames above

[poisondeathray]

Well, then post a sample that has a problem, not a sample that doesn't have the problem

[LeoHenrique]

I need go by today, sorry cuting it in the middle.

Thanks for you helps I'll came here by (local) tomorrow.

[LeoHenrique]

I think the very first one (in compressed video) has a interlace issue in the Usagi's (blonde haired'girl) Mouth.

Doesn't help

You need unprocessed sample with intact fields

[LeoHenrique]

Interlaced issues corrected, but I can't AwarpSharp2() only I AwarpSharp() I want to warp the lines a bit but not so, it has parameters too?

[poisondeathray]

There are 2 versions of awarpsharp. You probably need them both because the original awarpsharp is a prerequisite for some other filters and functions

What I do is leave the original awarpsharp in the plugins folder (so it's autoloading), and use LoadPlugin for awarpsharp2 in a separate folder (I place it in a subfolder within the plugins folder)

awarpsharp2 can be found here
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=147285

In general, "depth" is the parameter you want alter to control the strength of thinning the lines, but there are other settings as well.

For awarpsharp2, the default depth is 16, so try something lower , maybe 8 or 6. Again, avspmod really helps here for quick preview and adjustments

*Both awarpsharps have instructions, make sure you read them, and the settings and values are different between the two

[LeoHenrique]

I don't know if I'am alowed to bump it sorry if not.

In some instances it looks noised like in the attachment, I also added some color "corrections" cause the fansub wants it.

[poisondeathray]

If you feel some frames are still "noisy", apply a stronger filter to those sections. This applies for any filter - You don't have to use the same filters for the entire episode.

e.g use trim() to divide up into segments

[LeoHenrique]

Besides that The script could be improved?
Where I can get a nice encoding guide?

[poisondeathray]

Besides that The script could be improved?

It depends on your definiton of "improved" . This is all subjective. I might do things differently. Some people like sharp, some people like smooth. Some people like red, some like blue .... you get the idea. The adjustments you make are subjective and different people might prefer different things

Where I can get a nice encoding guide?

search some anime forums , there should be some guides there

[jagabo]

Sharpen() is going to enhance noise. You want to remove noise before sharpening.

[LeoHenrique]

There is a better sharpening filter?

I like a smoothing like it.

[lordsmurf]

Most anime sites I've seen have some horrible misinformation.
Many of the guides truly butcher the quality of the videos, too. So be aware of that.
