Hello! I need a bit of help here. I'm not really an expert in video restoration, and I'm trying to find a way to remove annoying rainbow-like artifacts. I'm not sure what they're called.
This video is sourced from a DVD - I've attached a small sample. It's really noticeable, for example, in the scene with a close up of the girl, in her hair, or in the scene with Freddie Mercury's sillhouette, in the digital computer drawings.
I've tried various methods I thought would work, with no avail. I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Cheers

not every rainbowing artefact is the same. it would be helpful to know what have you tried before -
I didn't see much rainbowing in that clip, except near the beginning in the girl's hair. If it were me, I'd just live with it.

Nice, what did you use?
(fft3dfilter on chroma only with sigma=20, would also work but smooth chroma quite a bit)Last edited by Selur; 21st Nov 2022 at 22:33.

The chroma blurring was done with BinomialBlur and a SMDegrain. I used a mask to apply the blurring only near chroma/luma edges.
Code:Mpeg2Source(...) src = last emask = Overlay(UtoY().mt_edge(thy1=4,thy2=4), VtoY().mt_edge(thy1=4,thy2=4), mode="add").mt_expand().PointResize(width, height) emask = Overlay(emask, mt_edge(thy1=8,thy2=8).mt_expand(), mode="multiply").mt_expand().BinomialBlur(5.0) bchroma = src.BinomialBlur(0.0, 5.0, 2, 3, 3).SMDegrain(tr=5, thSAD=5000, refinemotion=true, contrasharp=false, PreFilter=4, mode=0, truemotion=true, plane=3, chroma=false) Overlay(last, bchroma, mask=emask) MergeChroma(src, last)
Note that I treated the video as progressive though it contains a few interlaced shots (most of which were b/w). It may need to be modified to work properly with interlaced shots. -
Nice.
I attached how QTGMC+maskedFFT3DFilter and QTGMC+maskedFFT3DFilter+SpotLess+MCTemoralDenoise look like.users currently on my ignore list: deadrats, Stears555, marcorocchini -
Is there any way to disable that grain freezing on QTGMC? The denoising makes the video look kinda dull, and grain freezing is really distracting. Otherwise it's a nice output must I say.

Sure, there are tons of options in qtgmc to lower the denoising.

These can reduce the effectiveness of the antialiasing and buzz reduction. -
oh thanks these definitely will be helpful in my qtgmc usage. for a long time i'd just use veryfast to buypass denoising
