Changes in 2.5.4

Additions

  • Added ConditionalReader(). This enables users to load per frame settings into variables accessible to conditional variables.
  • Added "Hardlight", "SoftLight", "Difference" and "Exclusion" as Overlay blend modes.
  • Added mode="chroma", "luma", "lighten", "darken" to Overlay.
  • Overlay() now accepts RGB24/32 output.
  • Added "pc_range=true/false" parameter to Overlay(). This will make all RGB<->YUV conversions inside Overlay assume [0->255] YUV range, and not CCIR 601 [16->235] range. Default is false.
  • Added RGB input conversion to overlay.
  • ShowAlpha now returns RGB, YUY2, or YV12 via the pixel_type argument. The latter two can be used to layer an RGB clip with alpha transparency data onto a YUV clip using the 3-argument form of Overlay().
  • Added Overlay() for doing advanced video overlays/layers.
  • Added SuperEQ(). SuperEQ is a very precise 16 band equalizer.
  • Added IsYUV(clip) to script (it was only present in the documentation). (Party Time)
  • Added internal audiocache by WarpEnterprises. Added automatically by the filters that need it.
  • Added fast=true/false mode to SSRC. This will use a faster mode for resampling. Default is false.
  • Added Histogram(mode="stereo") shows a clasic stereo graph (I guess) from the audio in the clip. Some may know these from recording studios. Quite nice actually.
  • Added Histogram(mode="stereooverlay"). Draws the stereograph on top of the original image. YV12 only.
  • Added ChangeFPS(linear=true/false). This will make AviSynth request frames in a linear fashion, when skipping frames. ```Default:true```.
  • Added SSRC(int samplerate) SSRC resampling. Note that it only downsamples. Audio is always converted to float.
  • Added Tone(float length, float frequency, int samplerate, int channels, string type). This will generate sound.
    • Length is in seconds. Type can be "Silence", "Sine" (default), "Noise", "Square", "Triangle" or "Sawtooth".
    • Defaults are Tone(10.0, 440, 48000, 2, "sine").

Bugfixes

  • Fixed out-of-bounds read in Normalize.
  • Fixed compiler warnings in avisynth_c
  • Fixed very small sample corruption in SSRC.

  • Optimization: MMX in Dissolve.

Changes

  • Added Kevin Atkinsons avisynth_c 0.20 (stdcall) API.
  • Updated installer. Removed the old one.
  • SSRC: "fast" is now true per default. This setting is recommended, unless you are doing a big samplerate adjustment (not just 48000 -> 44100).
  • Updated installer. (Thanks to V_ICE for inspiration).
  • Re-Added German documentation.
  • EMMS is now executed between all filters to avoid potential FPU-states to be carried from one filter to the next.
  • Reimplemented SSRC. It is now capable of running multiple instances, it has been better tested (occational strange sample should be eliminated). This version support both upsampling and downsampling with very high precision.
  • If any filter should request audio that is out of bounds, if will no longer be passed to the filter above, but the invalid parts will be filled with silence.
  • Documentation restructured and much has been updated.
  • Added C-versions of conditional planedifference filters, for non-ISSE machines (not well tested though).


Changes in 2.5.3

Additions

  • Added audio support to DirectShowSource.
  • Added seeking support to DirectShowSource.
  • Added .GRF file loading to load filter graphs from GraphEdit. Be sure there is an open pin, to which AviSynth is able to connect, otherwise expect "the filter graph won't talk to me".
  • Added optional coring=true/false to Levels and Tweak. both true by default, as previously.
  • German documentation.
  • Added DV type 1 video input, using AviSource(). Video only!
  • DirectShowSource() is now capable of properly opening audio with more than 2 channels. Tested with AC3Filter.
  • DirectShowSource() now accepts and properly decodes float-precision samples. Tested with AC3Filter.

  • Added Invert(), ShowAlpha().
  • Added default parameters to ColorBars.
  • Extensive updates of German documentation.
  • DirectShowSource capable of opening audio only. WAV/AC3/MP3 can be opened using DirectshowSource.
  • Added experimental "align=true/false" to crop - this will realign frames if they aren't already. Alignement is 16 for SSE2 machines, 8 for others.
  • Added "Overall PSNR for Compare()" - thanks to temporance.
  • ResampleAudio now accepts any number of channels.
  • Added "after_frame=true/false" option to FrameEvaluate. This determines if the script should be evaluated before (default operation) or after the frame has been fetched from the filters above.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed memory leak in Plugin name export.
  • Incorporated file lock fix in AviSource by WarpEnterprises.
  • Minor fixes to field information in Info().
  • Fixed occational hang in DirectShowSource (this might lead to leaks on unload/load!)
  • Fixed crashbug in Compare, when logfile was specified.
  • Fixed distortion on Crop(align=true).
  • Fixed overflow in ResampleAudio (Thanks to IanB!). [Bug 770853].
  • Fixed MergeChannels broken with more than 2 channels.
  • Made adjustments for longer sample support in ResampleAudio.
  • Fixed crash in ResampleAudio, if no audio was present.
  • Fixed crash in MonoToStereo().
  • Fixed: Normalize(show = true) displaying invalid value, and added a dB amplification indication.

Changes

  • Further clarification in Info() regarding field information.
  • Minor changes to Limiter code (block prefetch).
  • ApplyRange now accepts startframe = stopframe. This will only process the specified frame.
  • ApplyRange now supports audio and processes it to the end of stopframe.
  • Updated avisynth_c API to v0.14.
  • Reenabled function name export for VDubMod syntax highlighting - I'm not sure if it had much effect on stability.
  • Corrected ParseMultiplication so it parses from left to right.
  • The default luma range in Limiter is corrected to 16-235 (it was 16-236).
  • Temporarily disabled plugin function export for VDubMod. I'm suspecting this of the "crash+disappear" of VdubMod.
  • Removed HSIAdjust().
  • Removed ffvfw from installation.
  • ShowSMPTE does no longer require fps parameter - only if the current fps cannot be used.


Changes in 2.5.2

Additions

  • Added light version of "ffvfw" to the installer. No "Cannot locate decompressor (YV12)" messages.
  • Added ConditionalFilter, that returns one of two sources based on an expression.
  • Added conditional filters:
  • AverageLuma(), AverageChromaU(), AverageChromaV() functions
Return a float from 0 to 255 based on the average pixel values of a plane.
  • YDifferenceFromPrevious(), UDifferenceFromPrevious(), VDifferenceFromPrevious() and YDifferenceToNext(), UDifferenceToNext(), VDifferenceToNext().
  • LumaDifference(clip,clip), ChromaUDifference(clip,clip), ChromaUDifference(clip,clip)
They return a float value between 0 and 255 of the absolute difference.
  • RGBDifference(clip1,clip2), RGBDifferenceFromPrevious(clip), RGBDifferenceToNext(clip).
  • YPlaneMax(clip, float threshold), YPlaneMin(clip, float threshold), YPlaneMedian(clip), YPlaneMinMaxDifference(clip, float threshold)
Threshold is a percentage, on how many percent of the pixels are allowed above or below minimum. The threshold is optional and defaults to 0. There are similar funtions for U and V.
  • Added ScriptClip(clip, string function, [show=true/false]). This will return the clip returned by the function evaluated on every frame.
  • Added FrameEvaluate(clip, script) - Similar to ScriptClip, except the output of the filter is ignored. This can be used for assigning variables, etc.
  • YV12 <-> RGB conversions now use an intermediate YUY2 conversion to achieve better chroma upsampling. As a result of this ConvertToRGB now also take an "interlaced=true/false" parameter.
  • Added ImageWriter.
  • Added "show" parameter to ConditionalFilter. This will overlay the results on the screen.
  • Added dynamic compiled limiter.
  • Implemented Belgabors patch for exporting plugin functions.

  • Fixed stereo setting in BlankClip.

Optimizations

  • Added MMX RGB24->YUY2 conversion.
  • Minor changes to existing RGB32 -> YUY2 MMX.
  • Minor speedup to ISSE limiter.
  • Added SoftWire dynamic compiled horizontal resizer. Approximately 10-15% faster - maybe even more on P4.

Changes

Changes in 2.5.1

Additions

  • Added start/end parameters to ImageWriter.
  • Added Chr, Time and Spline script functions.
  • Added ISSE and MMX YUY2->YV12 conversions. Faster than XviD - and both interlaced and noninterlaced modes supported. Use ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true).
  • Added rewritten YV12->YUY2 (progressive) conversion to avoid using buggy XviD conversion. It also has better quality as it properly interpolates chromas as opposed to simply copying it. Speed should be the same. Use ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true).
  • Added TurnLeft / TurnRight.

  • Fixed rounding in some cases in Temporalsoften.
  • Doesn't add audio to track, if there is no present in AssumeSampleRate().
  • Fixed isBFF() and isTFF().

Optimizations

  • Put in Steady's new BitBlt code, and enabled it for ISSE capable processors.

  • Made SwapUV faster.

Changes

  • Removed all fieldbased/mod 4 checks.
  • Restored how fieldbased/framebased works.
