Description
A mosaic and palette effects plugin. It includes:
- TurnsTile, for creating a custom mosaic effect, based on either the input clip contents or tiles from sheet you supply.
- CLUTer, which lets you apply an arbitrary color palette to your footage.
See demo here: http://www.gyroshot.com/turnstile.htm
Requirements
- *** vc_redist.x86.exe is required for TurnsTile-x86
- *** vc_redist.x64.exe is required for TurnsTile-x64
Syntax and Parameters
TurnsTile
TurnsTile(clip c, clip "tilesheet", int "tilew", int "tileh", int "res",
int "mode", string "levels", int "lotile", int "hitile",
bool "interlaced")
**c** clip
- The input clip, which can be RGB32, RGB24, YUY2, or YV12.
**tilesheet** clip
- Optional; if supplied, tiles will be pulled from this clip, which must be in
the same colorspace as 'c'. Your tilesheet can be a still image or a video.
In the latter case, tiles for a given frame of 'c' will be clipped from the
corresponding frame of 'tilesheet'.
The tiles are numbered left to right, then top to bottom. Using the provided
tilesheets as examples, with 16x16 pixel tiles in a 256x256 pixel image, the
top left tile is number 0, top right is 15, bottom left is 240, and bottom
right is 255. Design your own custom images accordingly, with dark tones at
the top left fading up to lighter ones at the bottom right (first left to
right across a row, then top to bottom one row at a time).
**tilew, tileh** int, default largest size <= 16x16 that fits your input
- If your tiles aren't sixteen by sixteen, define custom values here. Each
must be a factor of the respective clip dimension.
**res** int, default 8
- This acts as the effective bit depth of your output. The range of possible
output values is broken up into 2 ** res steps, and each tile index or pixel
component is rounded accordingly. This is quite an effective technique for
RGB footage, but thanks to the way color is represented in YUV spaces, you
won't be able to lower this too much with YUY2 or YV12 input before things
begin to look strange.
**mode** integer, default 0
- Only works when tilesheet is supplied. This option chooses the component
that will serve as the tile index for a given tile. The possible values are
as follows:
0:
RGB: Average of red, green, and blue values
YUY2: Average of Y1 and Y2 in the current pixel pair
YV12: Average of all four Y values in the 2x2 block
1:
RGB: Blue
YUY2: Y1
YV12: Top left
2:
RGB: Green
YUY2: U
YV12: Top right
3:
RGB: Red
YUY2: Y2
YV12: Bottom left
4:
RGB32: Alpha
RGB24: N/A
YUY2: V
YV12: Bottom right
5:
RGB32: N/A
RGB24: N/A
YUY2: N/A
YV12: U
6:
RGB32: N/A
RGB24: N/A
YUY2: N/A
YV12: V
**levels** string, "pc" or "tv", default "pc"
- Which range to use when selecting tiles. If you'd like to map TV black and
white to the lowest and highest tiles in your tilesheet, respectively, use
"tv" instead of the default "pc".
**lotile, hitile** default 0 and tilecount - 1
- A quick way to limit the tile selection to a given portion of your
tilesheet; if for example you have a sheet with an odd number of tiles, and
some spaces are blank, or if you just want to use a smaller range of values
without having to rebuild your tilesheet by hand, use these. If you don't
use a tilesheet, these will instead control the maximum and minimum
component values.
**interlaced** bool, default false
- Enable for interlaced input. For those unaware, "interlaced" and "field
based" are not the same thing. If a clip is field based, it's more than
likely interlaced, but the reverse isn't true, and there's currently no
completely fool proof way to auto-detect interlaced input.
CLUTer
CLUTer(clip c, clip palette, int "paletteframe", bool "interlaced")
**c** clip
- No special restrictions, beyond ensuring that this clip's colorspace
matches that of your palette. RGB32, RGB24, YUY2, and YV12 are supported.
**palette** clip
- Must be the same colorspace as the input clip. Progressive chroma siting is
assumed for YV12 palettes; although 'c' will be treated as interlaced if the
appropriate option is enabled, the palette itself will always be read as if
progressive.
**CAUTION!** It is very, very easy to dramatically slow down the operation
of CLUTer, to such a degree that it may appear to be frozen. The short
version: stick with ~100 or fewer unique colors per palette, or you're in
for a long wait. If you want to use an image as your palette, run it through
TurnsTile first, with big tiles and/or a lowered 'res'.
**paletteframe** int, default 0
- Only one frame is used from any clip you pass in as your palette, so if you
don't want to use the colors of frame 0, set paletteframe accordingly.
**interlaced** bool, default false
- As explained above, the terms "field based" and "interlaced" are not
necessarily synonymous. Reading the proper luma values for a given chroma
sample requires knowing the nature of the input clip, and a user-defined
parameter is the most reliable way to achieve that.
Extras
Included in the 'extras' directory is a set of tilesheets meant to serve as a jumping off point for your own experimentation, along with the AviSynth script used to generate them. It needs Gavino's GScript to make it work in Avisynth 2.6, but there are no other requirements.
CGApalette.avs was introduced along with CLUTer() in version 0.3.0, and as stated in the comments is meant to be loaded by AVISource as a sample palette for that function. Open up the script to find more details.
Lastly, also in the extras folder is a copy of the script version of TurnsTile 0.1.0. Use in Aviysnth 2.6 requires GScript, along with GRunT, also by Gavino, and doesn't run very quickly, to say the least. That barely measurable speed was the motivation to develop this plugin, and the script is only included here for educational purposes.
