Script for Haibane Renmei?

Hagaren Viper · Post by **Hagaren Viper** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 1:35 am

The usual scrips I use didn't quite work so well on Haibane, made it look kind of muddled. Plus there are frames (At least in this scene) that have kinda jagged outlines. Any ideas?

Looks like a bad deinterlace job. What's your current script?

At the moment, it's extremely basic. The usual filters I used to clean up the footage didn't work too well, so I took them out (If you want to know what they are, I'll go get them as well).

avisource("River3.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
deen("a2d",4,9,11)
ssxsharpen()

Actually, ssxsharpen kinda muddles the footage as well. :/

I've never had to deal with an interlacing problem like this, so I really have no idea what I may need to use or not. It's possibly just in the few scenes I have ripped so far, since those have a lot of quick movement, but I don't know.

Haibane Renmei is actually progressive footage. So no deinterlacing is necessary. Your frame cap looks like you tried to deinterlace. Although, sometimes the footage has jaggy edges so you'll just have to live with it. Here is about the same frame using the script I use.

Code: Select all

Deen("w3d",2,3,5)
Crop(8,4,-10,-2)
BicubicResize(720,480)

I crop the top and bottom a bit too, because sometimes the picture doesn't fill the whole frame. It also varies from each DVD/episode too, so watch out. Now as for resizing back to 720x480, I do that so when editing everything is back to standard. I've never noticed any major aspect ratio issues since I try to keep the cropping to the same ratio. I used to sharpen it, but I didn't like it and wanted to keep compressibility good.

aside from the resize, thats about what my filter was O.o
