I am an idiot.

Some software such as the notorious "Super" can break your plugin autoloading. It's possible that you installed that or some other broken software that caused it.

So to not clutter the board, I have an extremely basic script I am using just to tinker.

Lanczos4Resize(720,480)
FastLineDarken(150,100,4,0)
Tweak(sat=1.1,cont=1.1)
Telecide(order=1,guide=0)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
LoadTDeint()
TDeint(mode=1,order=1)
BlendBob()

Here's what I am getting from my Huffyuv AVI (with "Always suggest RGB" clicked).





You can see the dark shadows kind of where the body "will or would be". I don't get this all the time. On the first picture, the shadow on the white arm on the right is there although that object is NOT moving.

The guides don't tell me what I've screwed up this time.

Besides probably having something that does the same thing twice in my script, is one of my filters causing this?

I'm pretty sure this only applies to vertical resizing, but resizing while your footage is still interlaced is a very bad idea. That, and if you are using dvds as a source, the footage should already be 720x480.

Tweak is probably safe going before your IVTC chain, but fastlinedarken() I'd put after.
I doubt that you actually need tweak in the first place, as TTGL is modern and very colorful to begin with

blendbob should be taken out, as should TDeint (and LoadTDeint() which I assume is just a function that you made to do the loadplugin() thing,) you've already made the footage progressive with Telecide and Decimate. I haven't worked with TTGL, so I don't know if there is a rainbow problem (which is something else blendbob() can handle) but I'd go with LUTDeRainbow(), DMFDerainbow(), Tcomb(), DeRainbow(), or something like that if you do have rainbows to kill.

so then, your script ends up looking like this

Code: Select all

Telecide(order=1,guide=0)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
FastLineDarken(150,100,4,0)

OK. That worked.

Yes, TDient was me tinkerind.

BlendBob I thought was needed but you were right, it looks better without it.

I put tweak on after everything again because I wanted just a touch more brightness for the inside scenes.

Was the TDient versus my Tel and Dec causing that?

[OzzieAlThor79]

When I say "Causing that", I mean the issues in the picutres.

I don;t get to edit posts here...

[Kariudo]

my guess is that blendbob was causing that
second guess is fastlinedarken when it was before telecide+decimate

Blendbob, Telecide+Decimate, and TDeint are all used for similar things. I can't imagine a situation where you'll end up needing more than one of those in a script...unless you decide to use TFM, which is similar to Telecide. TFM has a parameter to pass it an externally deinterlaced clip, which you could use TDecimate to do...but that's a detail you most likely won't have to worry about.

[OzzieAlThor79]

Gotcha. I guess I never realized that the order the request came in meant so much.
