Uhhh...really read ErMaC and AD's Guide. It has explanations in a section that i believe is called postprocessing with avisynth. there are lots of filters that you can use. Most of the bettrer ones are covered there assuming you are using the amvpack version of avisynth. For the most part, the filters you want to use are dependant on your source condition. Most of these filters have settings that you need to play with to get the most out of them. With the old version on avisynth i liked warpsharp, msmooth, msharp, convolution3d, temporal cleaner, _2dcleaner etc. Not all at once but there are good combinations, sometimes _2dcleaner was too harsh with some sources. These areall covered in the guides for exactly what they do so i won't get into it here. Here is an example script. But this all depends on your source. This is DVD source and this script is real slow used for exporting the final huffyuv.

MPEG2Source("D:\Source\OMG\OMG_Ep_1.d2v",cpu=6,ipp=true) #change to 6 before exporting

#deinterlace before doing anything
Telecide(guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5)

Crop(8,0,-16,0) #get rid of the black bars on the side so filters can work better

#clean the footage entirely in YU12
#Remember, (1)smooth, (2)clean, (3)sharpen
TemporalCleaner (ythresh=5, cthresh=10) #TemporalSmoothing
MipSmooth(preset="animeHQ") #Normal Smoothing & TemporalSmoothing
Msharpen(strength=9,threshold=5,mask=false,debug=false)
awarpSharp()

#do resizing if necessary
LanczosResize(720,480) #return it to 720x480

#get footage ready for premire
AssumeFPS(24) #change framerate for premire
ConvertToRGB32() #cause i don't trust premire to convert color spaces

All of the cleaning filters have settings, warpsharp i leave at its default as i like what it does. This script won't work in the AMVapp version of avisynth as i am using 2.5. I have different filters than the old version of the app This is just an example. Read the documentation and the guides....really. Many people won't help you unless you've made some sort of effort to figure it out yourself. Plus you lean many more things when you learn it without help. Trust me, i just recently went through this process of learning new things for avisynth 2.5.

Many things in here won't apply to your footage like then resizing, mpegsource, convertrgb32,assumefps, deinterlacing, etc.

There is another thread in the help forums that i authored which has some discussion on avisynth.
