Subtract produces an output clip in which every pixel is set according to the difference between the corresponding pixels in clip1 and clip2. More specifically, it sets each pixel to (50% grey) + (clip1 pixel) - (clip2 pixel). You can use [[Levels]] afterwards if you want to increase the contrast.

Show the difference between two clips. Where the clips are equal, the output is 50% grey.

Syntax

Subtract(clip clip1, clip clip2)

Examples

Show the difference between two clips, and make the difference blatantly obvious: 

Subtract(A, B).Levels(65, 1, 255-64, 0, 255, coring=false)

Show the difference between adjacent frames: 

Subtract(A, A.Trim(1, 0))

About offset of luma range

For YUV formats the valid Y range is 16-235, and Subtract takes this into account. This means that the following script 

Subtract(A, B)

...will result in a "50% grey" clip with luma=126.

If you require a mathematically correct subtract function for 0-255 RGB or YUV data, use Overlay: 

Overlay(A, B, mode="difference", pc_range=false)
...which results in a "50% grey" clip with luma=128.
