avisynth vmToon()

ive got the latest V of the amvAPP program and ive been trying to get the vmToon() filter to work but no matter what i do the program doesnt read it. even if i set different variables (eg vmToon(strength=x) etc the command only ever comes up in black and my quality on my export doesnt change. is there something else i should get for avisynth? or an option i need to change or what.

oh and to clarify in the script the vmToon() command always remains black, it never changes colour like other scripted occurances once they are put in.

k heres what i have atm

BiFrost(interlaced=false)
BlindPP(cpu=4, quant=8)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5)
vmToon()
Crop(2, 18, -2, -18)
LanczosResize(640, 480)

the other functions are working fine, but no matter what i change the vmToon() around with it never takes effect. dunno if its a plugin error or if im doin sumtin wrong.

not really sure what's causing your problem, but here's something that managed to fix my problems with vmtoon

add the lines: addborders(16,16,16,16) before vmtoon and crop(16,16,-16,-16) after vmtoon

this managed to solve a problem with diagonal lines being put into my footage after calling vmtoon...not sure if it'l work but it's worth a shot

didnt work. i didnt have a problem with lines or netin. so it didnt really fix what wasnt broken. its the fact that the vmToon() function stays black and doesnt highlight as if it effects. the script still runs but the vmToon line does nothing.

dont spose ne1 can point me to where i can dl the vmToon plugin? it might be a corrupted file or not properly setup, so i figure if i get another copy and backup the originals theres no harm in trying. or if anyone has other suggestions that would be nice too

Right click and Save Link As... (or Save Target As...)

vmToon link

Put it into your AviSynth plugins folder.

pardon me for leeching your thread, but i tried seeing if i was experiencing the same problem as well and it told me it dosnt recognise the function "X-sharpen"

my script is just my source and then vmtoon()

IIRC you need mt_masktools (aka masktools v2.x), for vmtoon to work
there's might be more requirements...but I can't find them atm
and just to make sure, your source has to be in yv12
