Utawarerumono R1 scripts

Anyone got any scripts to share?

I've been experimenting a bunch of filters but I can't get rid of some nasty looking noise and small traces of interlace artifacts.

can you post the script that has been giving you the best results so far?

before/after shots would also be nice

Sure! Here's my script.

Code: Select all

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=false)
LanczosResize(848,480)
Crop(8,0,-8,-0)
deen("a3d",4,11,10)
FastLineDarken(thinning=0)
SSXSharpen()

Before

I'm sure my dialup wants to cut itself right about now...but onto the script

second set looks horrible, it might just be one of those frames that occur at scene changes every now and again...assuming you're using dvds and preprocessing I'd try adding cpu=4 or cpu=6 to mpeg2source

Deen is taking care of the noise, but is also destroying a lot of detail in the process. I'd back off on deen and use fluxsmoothST() to get rid of that noise around the lines.

If that doesn't satisfy you, try adding vagueDenoiser() &/or removegrain() (modes 2 and 5 for removegrain are my favorites. I'm using v1.0)

ssxsharpen isn't doing too much, try messing with the settings or using another sharpener like limitedsharpen/limitedsharpenfaster

The "cpu=4 or cpu=6 to mpeg2source" didn't work because I already exported my vid. So here's my new script:

Code: Select all

#ASYNTHER AVISource
AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\Greg\My Documents\AMV source\UTAWARERUMONO\01.avi")

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=false)
LanczosResize(848,480)
Crop(8,0,-8,-0)
Deblock(quant=25)
fluxsmoothST()
removegrain(5)

Wow... I can barely notice the changes haha.

it should be removegrain(mode=5)

I'd still use deen, but with much weaker settings (I usually use a3d,2,4,4)
having a sharpener in there will make some difference too

try this

Code: Select all

converttoyv12(interlaced=false)
LanczosResize(848,480)
crop(8,0,-8,-0)
removegrain(mode=5)
removegrain(mode=5)
fluxsmoothST()
deen("a3d",2,4,4)
fastlinedarken(thinning=0)
ssxsharpen()

but make ssxsharpen a little stronger

Looking at those, I think some reordering may be called for. The 'after' images look to me like they could use a little sharpening.

Hmmm... Kariudo, all the filters u posted worked except for removegrain (not because it's posted twice haha).
I get an error saying, there is no function named "removegrain".

Anyways, the results look great even without the remove grain filter. So thanks for all the help! =)

yeah, I put the two removegrains in there on purpose (extra denoising, preserves details really well)

what version of removegrain are you using?
if it's not 1.0, you can get it from here

glad it works
