Scripting Help!

[Vanity]

I apologize if I didn't respond to my other topic trying to help me with scripting...anyways the fact of the matter is....I just don't know what to be looking for when scripting...I believe that my quality looks ok when it doesn't. I'd just would want like a list of recommended filters that I should use on anime footage...

Anywho I wanted your guy's opinion what I should change in my script or what to add to it either one please!. Because frankly Im clueless on scripting =[.


My script: MPEG2Source("C:\yourfolder\blah.d2v")
Telecide(order=1,guide=1)
Decimate(cycle=5, mode=2)
FluxSmoothST(7,7)
Crop(6,0,-6,-0)
LanczosResize(640,480)




My footage I scripted:

[Scintilla]

I really don't see anything obviously wrong with this footage, aside from that gigantic halo on the left side of the girl's head in the second shot and the combing noise in the punk's mouth in the second-to-last one.

Is the halo present in the original source? If it is, then it's so far away from her head that I really don't think you can do anything about it. If it's not, then that's really bizarre, because FluxSmooth shouldn't cause artifacts like that (but it's the only thing in your chain that might).

As for removing the combing noise, I would try tweaking the vthresh and/or dthresh parameters to Telecide, which Absolute Destiny explains here. You might also try setting guide=0 (blind matching), especially if many other frames have similar problems.

That, or just switch from Decomb to TIVTC.
