Deep Color Argument Scaling Functions
sc8x
- Autoscale filter arguments to high bit depth; scale an 8-bit value for target clip T.
- For example, if clip C's bit depth = 10,
C.sc8x(255)
== 255 × 2(10-8) == 1023. - See also, sc8s – same as sc8x but with String result, suitable for use in MaskTools expressions
## @ T - clip with target bit depth ## @ returns int for int formats, float for 32-bit float ## function sc8x(clip T, float f)
Utility Filters
ToRGB
- Convert from anything to planar RGB[A]
- Attempts YUV→RGB conversion with best possible quality;
- hides the details of conversion from Interleaved to Planar.
## @ matrix - ignored if not converting from YUV; default "Rec601" ## @ bits_out - output bit depth, one of (8|10|12|14|16); default same as source ## @ A - if supplied, becomes the alpha channel of the resulting clip; ## overrides any existing alpha channel. ## * if 'A' is RGBA or YUVA, the A channel is used; ## * if 'A' YUV or Y-only, the Y channel is used; ## * if 'A' == "none", any existing alpha channel is removed; ## * if 'A' == "add", a new opaque alpha channel is added; ## * else, 'A' is ignored. ## function ToRGB(clip C, string "matrix", int "bits_out", clip "A")
To444
- Convert from anything to YUV[A]444
- Attempts RGB→YUV conversion with best possible quality;
- hides the details of conversion from Interleaved to Planar.
## @ matrix - ignored if not converting from RGB; default "Rec601" ## @ bits_out - output bit depth, one of (8|10|12|14|16); default same as source ## @ A - if supplied, becomes the alpha channel of the resulting clip; ## overrides any existing alpha channel. ## * if 'A' is RGBA or YUVA, the A channel is used; ## * if 'A' YUV or Y-only, the Y channel is used; ## * if 'A' == "none", any existing alpha channel is removed; ## * if 'A' == "add", a new opaque alpha channel is added; ## * else, 'A' is ignored. ## ## Return YUV(A)444, max 16-bit (no float output) ## function To444(clip C, string "matrix", int "bits_out", clip "A")
To16bit
- Convert from anything to best equivalent 16-bit version; no RGB↔YUV conversions
## @ A - if supplied, becomes the alpha channel of the resulting clip; ## overrides any existing alpha channel. ## * if 'A' is RGBA or YUVA, the A channel is used; ## * if 'A' YUV or Y-only, the Y channel is used; ## * else, 'A' is ignored. ## ## Returns: ## any RGB(A) -> RGB(A)P16 ## any 444 -> YUV(A)444P16 ## any 422 -> YUV(A)422P16 ## any 420 -> YUV(A)420P16 ## any Yxx -> YxxP16 // no alpha ## function To16bit(clip C, clip "A")
To8bit
- Convert from anything to 'best' (v2.6.x compatible) equivalent 8-bit version
- Automatically converts Planar RGB to RGB24/RGB32; removes any alpha channel on YUV.
## @ dither - if true, add dither when applicable; default false ## ## Returns: ## any RGBA -> RGB32 ## any RGB -> RGB24 ## any 444 -> YV24 ## any 422 -> YUY2 ## any 420 -> YV12 ## any Yxx -> Y8 ## YV411 (no change) ## (no YUVA output, so save your alpha channel elsewhere) ## function To8bit(clip C, bool "dither")
ToVdubFM
- Make minimal color format conversion needed to view in VirtualDub FilterMod.
## @ dither - if true, reduce bit depth to 8 bit with dithering if applicable; ## default false ## ## vdubFM does not currently (AFAIK) support all AVS+ color spaces; ## ToVdubFM does minimally-destructive translation ## per docs, vdubFM accepts: ## 10-bit 422 (v210 interleaved) ## 16-bit 422, 444, 420 (planar) ## 16-bit RGBA ## this filter returns: ## 8-bit formats unchanged, except YV411->YV420 ## 10-bit 422 (planar, not interleaved) ## 16-bit 422 (planar) ## 16-bit RGBA ## function ToVdubFM(clip C, bool "dither")
MatchColorFormat
- Match color format of source C to template T
- Useful when temporarily changing color format and to splice disparate clips together.
## @ matrix - ignored if not converting between RGB<>YUV; default "Rec601" ## @ keepbits - if true, retain original bit depth; ## else (default) force bit depth to match 'T' ## @ dither - if true, add dither when converting to lower bit depth; default false ## function MatchColorFormat(clip C, clip T, string "matrix", \ bool "keepbits", bool "dither")
MatchAudioFormat
- Match audio properties of source C to template T
- For ease of splicing, interleaving etc.
## Properties matched: ## number of channels (see note), bit depth, sample rate ## ## AudioChannels handling: ## if 'T' has no audio, returns 'C'.KillAudio; ## if 'C' has no audio, copies silenced audio from 'T'; ## if 'T' and 'C' have the same channel count, no change is made; ## if 'T' has 1 channel, returns 'C'.ConvertToMono; ## if 'T' has 2 channels and 'C' has 1, returns 'C' with split mono; ## otherwise, an error is raised (manual intervention is needed) ## ## @ allowresample - if true, resample audio to match template if needed; ## if false (the default), use AssumeSampleRate, ## which may affect audio/video sync. ## function MatchAudioFormat(clip C, clip T, bool "allowresample")
remove_gamma
- Remove sRGB gamma transfer function (if bit depth > 8)
- Improves appearance of certain filters like Resize; must call restore_gamma before final output; requires MaskTools v2.2.x
## @ enable - default true; if false, do nothing (bypass) function remove_gamma(clip C, bool enable)
restore_gamma
- Apply standard gamma transfer function (if bit depth > 8)
- Reverses effect of remove_gamma.
## @ enable - default true; if false, do nothing (bypass) function restore_gamma(clip C, bool enable)
Color And Overlay Filters
LevelsPlus
## @ input_x, output_x - now Float to allow fractional values ## @ coring - unlike 'legacy' Levels, 'coring' now defaults to false ## @ chroma - if true (default) process chroma like Levels; else bypass YUV chroma ## function LevelsPlus(clip C, \ float input_low, float gamma, float input_high, \ float output_low, float output_high, \ bool "coring", bool "dither", bool "chroma")
