Rough classification of third-party filters for AviSynth - a perpetual work in progress.

This page lists both scripts (see Import) and plugins (see Plugins).

Contents

[edit] Introduction

[edit] Download sites

A large list of filters can be downloaded from the following sites but be aware that some plugins listed may be outdated, only recommended as a backup.

[edit] 64-bit filters

Comprehensive list of AviSynth+ 64-bit filters

[edit] Outdated AviSynth plugins

External plugins (old) - these older plugins are not recommended, page is there mainly for historical purposes.

[edit] Using filters

Most scripts will apply filters in the following order:

  1. Create an AviSynth clip from a video file using a source filter.
  2. Correct or remove any unwanted features in the video (e.g. dot crawl, field blending or telecine).
  3. Denoise the video (optional).
  4. Manipulate the video into the desired format (by e.g. changing the size and frame rate).

[edit] Chroma correction

Filter Description Color format Plugin / Script Author
caf Chromatic Aberration Fixer. YV12 Script Torchlight
ChromaShift This filter will shift the chrominance information by an even number of pixels, in either horizontal direction. It can also apply an overall vertical shift of the total chrominance information, up or down. It is primarily intended to correct improper colour registration. See discussion.

ChromaShiftSP This script can shift chroma in all directions with subpixel accuracy. YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411 Script IanB, McCauley
ColorMatrix ColorMatrix corrects the colors of MPEG-2 streams. More correctly, many MPEG-2 streams use slightly different coefficients (called Rec.709) for storing the color information than AviSynth's color conversion routines or the XviD/DivX decoders (called Rec.601) do, with the result that DivX/XviD clips or MPEG-2 clips encoded by TMPGEnc/QuEnc are displayed with slighty off colors. This can be checked by opening the MPEG-2 stream directly in VDubMod. YV12, YUY2 Plugin Wilbert Dijkhof, tritical

Decomb The FieldDeinterlace filter provides functionality similar to the postprocessing function of Telecide. You can use it for pure interlaced streams (that is, those not containing telecined progressive frames). The name refers to the fact that field mode differencing is used. YUY2, YUY2 Plugin Donald Graft
EEDI2 EEDI2 resizes an image by 2x in the vertical direction by copying the existing image to 2*y(n) and interpolating the missing field. It is intended for edge-directed interpolation for deinterlacing (i.e. not really made for resizing a normal image, but can do that as well). YUY2, YV12 Plugin tritical
EEDI2CUDA EEDI2 filter using CUDA. All planar Y/YUV/RGB 8 to 16-bit colorspaces Plugin misakikasumi, WolframRhodium

TDeint TDeint is a bi-directionally, motion adaptive (sharp) deinterlacer. It can also adaptively choose between using per-field and per-pixel motion adaptivity. It can use cubic interpolation, kernel interpolation (with temporal direction switching), or one of two forms of modified ELA interpolation which help to reduce "jaggy" edges in moving areas where interpolation must be used. TDeint also supports user overrides through an input file, and can act as a smart bobber or same frame rate deinterlacer, as well as an IVTC post-processor. See discussion. YUY2, YV12 Plugin tritical
TelecideHints The filter process the stats file to get the usual progressive matches and identify VFR sections. YUY2, YV12 Plugin Myrsloik

[edit] IVTC & Decimation

Filter Description Color format Plugin / Script Author
AnimeIVTC What it does:
  • High quality adaptative field matching for hard telecine
  • Bob, remove the blends and decimate back to the desired framerate for DHT/field-blended
  • Creating a VFR clip for hybrid sources
  • Bob the interlaced credits, blend-deinterlacing the background while doing minimal damage on the progressive credits, convert their framerate to match the episode's and splice them with it OR leave them @ 30p to create a VFR clip
  • Very good combing removal and anti-aliasing functions

See [6] and See [7] for mod version.

YV12 Script thetoof
DOCI Destruction of Chroma Interlacing fixes a problem where you captured pulleddown video in YV12. In the combed frames, the chroma from two frames has been blended, leading to a ghosting effect when IVTC'd. This filter reconstructs the chroma exactly and fixes the problem. YV12 Script jmac698
FDecimate The FDecimate() filter provides extended decimation capabilities not available from Decimate(). It can remove frames from a clip to achieve the desired frame rate, while retaining audio/video synchronization. It preferentially removes duplicate frames where possible. ("FDecimate" stands for "Free Decimate", which implies that the output frame rate may be freely chosen, and is not limited to 1-in-N decimation). YUY2, YV12 Plugin Donald Graft
FDecimate2 FDecimate2 is based on FDecimate v1.0.2. FDecimate2, fixes some problems with bugged metrics in FDecimate v1.0.2. RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411 Plugin StainlessS

MDec2 MDec2 is a 2 pass decimating filter, acting much like the MultiDecimate filter. RGB32, RGB24, YUY2, Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411 Plugin StainlessS
MultiDecimate Removes N out of every M frames, taking the frames most similar to their predecessors. See discussion. YUY2 Plugin Donald Graft
RePal Discussion / repal_29.97Hz_mod YUY2, YV12 Plugin - Mod Bach
Decomb The Telecide and Decimate filters can be combined to implement IVTC. YUY2, YV12 Plugin Donald Graft
TelecineBob If your source soffers from field blending, as long as no deinterlacing is made you will find out that conveniently the blended fields are often paired with a clean one. FieldDeBlend takes advantage of that and checks for frames whose fields don't match to replace the frame with a clean one as long there is one. YV12 Plugin Ceppo
TIVTC A package containing these 7 filters: TFM, TDecimate, MergeHints, FrameDiff, FieldDiff, ShowCombedTIVTC, and RequestLinear. Also contains these 3 conditional functions: IsCombedTIVTC, CFieldDiff, and CFrameDiff. Designed primarily for IVTC operations. YUY2, YV12 Plugin tritical
TPRIVTC TPRIVTC stands for TMPEG InVerse Telecine, i.e. the process where an 29.97fps interlaced NTSC clip is converted to 23.976fps while removing interlaced frames. Readme RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, YV12 Plugin daxab, Kurosu
WeaveMan Remove arbitrary pulldown patterns manually; meant for perfectionists to undo non-standard 24->25 fps, 25->29.97 fps, etc. telecine conversions, along with other weird telecine anomalies created by broadcasters speeding up film-sourced content. See sample case here. YUY2, YV12 Plugin ChiDragon
