Using different filters on different frames problem.

[killerteengohan]

I am trying to do something I did a long time ago. I want to apply different filters for different areas of the video. I am having a problem with it this time though.

The old source I did this to, I did not use hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)) in it. I want to use it for minor halo removal this time but I keep getting this error.

" Invalid arguments to function "deen" "




This is the script I'm trying.


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll" )

source=DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\User\Desktop \Encoding\ID OVA\Ep1\VTS_11_1.d2v", info=3).ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0).crop( 4, 2, -4, -2).LanczosResize(640,480) # Lanczos (Sharp)

clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593).hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)).maa2 ().blur(0.092)

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728).QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3).hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2, 2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0).hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)).maa2().b lur(0.092)

Return clip1 + clip2 + clip3




Now when I try it like this, I don't get any error, but none of the filters at the bottom are having any effect at all.


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll" )

source=DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\User\Desktop \Encoding\ID OVA\Ep1\VTS_11_1.d2v", info=3).ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0).crop( 4, 2, -4, -2).LanczosResize(640,480) # Lanczos (Sharp)

clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593)

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728).QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3)

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0)

Return clip1 + clip2 + clip3

hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2))
maa2()
blur(0.092)




I don't have any problem using deen, or using hqdering on the entire thing and not using the clip parts of the script.

It works fine like this but then I cant use different filters on different frames.


crop( 4, 2, -4, -2)
LanczosResize(640,480) # Lanczos (Sharp)
hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2))
maa2()
blur(0.092)



Any suggestions on what the issue here is?

[killerteengohan]

If I use hqdering() with no extra parameters in the clip1, clip2, and clip3 lines it seems to work okay so far. but I still get the " Invalid arguments to function "deen" " when I try to add any custom parameters to it.


EDIT: It is also working if I put it in the source= line of the script right after the resizer, but I still get the " Invalid arguments to function "deen" " when I try to add any custom parameters to it.

1) "Deen" has no source clip, since default clip "Last" is empty.
2) Early "return" statement bypasses the lines below it.
Some suggested changes below in color:

"Invalid arguments to function 'deen'"

This is the script I'm trying.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")

source=DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\User\Desktop\Encoding\ID OVA\Ep1\VTS_11_1.d2v", info=3).ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0).crop( 4, 2, -4, -2).LanczosResize(640,480) # Lanczos (Sharp)

clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593)
clip1=clip1.hqdering(smoother=clip1.deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728)
clip2=clip2.QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3).hqdering(smoother=clip2.deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0)
clip3=clip3.hqdering(smoother=clip3.deen("c3d",1,9,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

Return clip1 + clip2 + clip3

Now when I try it like this, I don't get any error, but none of the filters at the bottom are having any effect at all.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")

source=DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\User\Desktop\Encoding\ID OVA\Ep1\VTS_11_1.d2v", info=3).ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0).crop( 4, 2, -4, -2).LanczosResize(640,480) # Lanczos (Sharp)

clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593)

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728).QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3)

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0)

#Return clip1 + clip2 + clip3 --> script exits here

clip1 + clip2 + clip3 
hqdering(smoother=deen("c3d",1,9,2,2))
maa2()
blur(0.092)
return Last

EDIT Missed a couple deen's, fixed. Also, the deen source must be Trim'ed the same as the main clip.

When I enter it like you suggested, hqdering works with parameters in it now, but everything gets all garbled up and ruined.


LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")

clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593)
clip1=clip1.hqdering(smoother=clip1.deen("c3d",1,9 ,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728)
clip2=clip2.QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3).hqdering(smoother=clip2.deen("c3d", 1,9,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0)
clip3=clip3.hqdering(smoother=clip3.deen("c3d",1,9 ,2,2)).maa2().blur(0.092)

Return clip1 + clip2 + clip3

[killerteengohan]

Thanks! I'll tamper with it a bit.

[killerteengohan]

Thanks for the suggestions. I figured it out for the most part.


I just gave clip3=clip3.hqdering(smoother=clip3.deen("c3d",1,9 ,2,2)) its own line and moved .maa2().blur(0.092) right after the trim like so.


clip1=Trim(source, 0, 20593).maa2().blur(0.092)
clip1=clip1.hqdering(smoother=clip1.deen("c3d",1,9 ,2,2))

clip2=Trim(source, 20594, 22728).QTGMC(preset="slow", fpsdivisor=2, sourcematch=3).maa2().blur(0.092)
clip2=clip2.hqdering(smoother=clip2.deen("c3d", 1,9,2,2))

clip3=Trim(source, 22729, 0).maa2().blur(0.092)
clip3=clip3.hqdering(smoother=clip3.deen("c3d",1,9 ,2,2))



The only problem I am having now is that no matter what I try, it will not let me use hqdering() at all in clip 1. I get a cache error.

To match the first script you'd need

hqdering(smoother=deen(source,"c3d",1,9,2,2))

The script in post 4 works fine for me using DGDecodeIM instead of MPEG2Source.
