How to smooth some edges (help?)

Moonlight Soldier · Post by **Moonlight Soldier** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 6:42 pm

Okie, I'm having an issue with processing my Love Hina footage.

Namely, my preprocessed footage is pretty, and the edges are smooth, like in this picture

Yet, once I export, the edges get all messed up, like in [url=ttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/MoonlightSoldier/lovenay.png]this picture[/url]

...

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix that? I thought Fastlinedarken might work, but it does this >.< (and noticably doesn't fix the edges).

Any ideas?

Looks like the fields are swapped...

first of all, the correct link is here: you were missing the first 'h'

second, is this an image after it has been exported and compressed, or just exported?

I questions that processing method =/ I tried that first and ended up with a bunch of errors.

However, in using the parts that don't result in errors, I used this code:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\alternatives\Decomb4.dll")
AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\*******\Desktop\Mood.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
telecide(guide=1,threshold=1)
decimate(cycle=5,mode=2) 
deen("a3d", 3, 10, 12)
awarpsharp
AssumeFPS(24)

Which does fix the line issue, but it also does this, colour bleeding? ...I'm not sure how to describe it, but on scenes with a lot movement the colours get stuck behind. (Look at her skirt and arm).

I seem to have to have fixed the lines. The new issue is once I've exported only, and am prepping footage for compression.

I don't even know where to begin trying to fix that

If I was you, I wouldn't convert to YV12 until after Telecide and Decimate.

And Love Hina has the very annoying problem of switching field orders every so often within the same episode... I'm told that DGFix (comes with the DGMPGDec package) is meant to correct this very problem; alternatively, you can use the legacy Decomb plugin that doesn't require you to specify a field order for Telecide, but that requires LoadPluginEx (or some other plugin that allows you to load AVISynth 2.0 plugins).

The problem in your latest screenshot I'd call chroma ghosting; you can probably cut down on that by switching Deen to a 2D mode.

That worked soooo well. Thank you

And actually, once I used that plugin, I just tossed Deen and used temporalcleaner and it looks awesome.
