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A large list of filters can be downloaded from the following sites but be aware that some plugins listed may be outdated, only recommended as a backup.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[edit] Outdated AviSynth plugins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. YV12, YUY2, RGB32 Plugin Simon Walters
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
DeBlot Color bleed reduction plugin. YUY2,YV12 Plugin minamina
FixChromaBleeding Fixes area of chroma bleeding by shifting the chroma and lowering the saturation in the affected areas. See discussion YV12 Script Alex Jordan
FixChromaBleedingMod Fixes area of chroma bleeding by shifting the chroma and lowering the saturation in the affected areas. See discussion YV12, YUY2, YV411 Script AmjadSONY
FixChromaticAberration FixChromaticAberration resizes (and crops) the red/green/blue channels of the image separately. This helps to minimize the colored edges next to the image corners that result from lenses with chromatic aberration. See discussion. RGB24, RGB32 Script Martin Wagener
MoveChroma Chroma shifting filter; can be used to independently shift the U/V channels left or right. YUY2, YV12 Plugin apechironnup
PixelShiftPlus Set of functions to independently shift any RGB(A) or YUV(A) plane with subpixel precision. All colorspaces Script reel.deal
ReInterpolate411 This is a fast and simple filter to correct the improper 4:1:1 => 4:2:2 conversion that seems to occur with some DV/4:1:1 codecs. YUY2 Plugin Tom Barry
ReInterpolate420 Usually, DV decoders upsample PAL DV (which is YV12) to YUY2 using point sampling. This plugin re-interpolates the original chroma samples. YUY2 Plugin Wilbert Dijkhof

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
EEDI3 Another edge directed interpolation filter. Works by minimizing a cost functional involving every pixel in a scan line. eedi3 is good for deinterlacing and enlarging images by the powers of 2. RGB24, YUY2, YV12 Plugin tritical
EEDI3CL OpenCL implementation of eedi3. For AviSynth+ only. all 8-32bit planar colorspaces Plugin Asd-g
FieldHint FieldHint combines arbitrary fields from the input clip, and optionally adds Telecide-compatible postprocessing hints. YV12 Plugin Loren Merritt

SangNom2 Reimplementation of the old SangNom plugin. Y8,YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411 Plugin tp7
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
TempGaussMC Motion-compensated bob deinterlacer, based on temporal gaussian blurring. reduces noise/grain of the source and does NOT leave the original fields unchanged. Output is rich with details and very stable. Is SLOW YV12 Script Didée
yadifmod Modified version of Fizick's avisynth filter port of yadif from mplayer. This version doesn't internally generate spatial predictions, but takes them from an external clip. It also is not an Avisynth_C plugin (just a normal one). YUY2, YV12 Plugin tritical
yadifmod2 Yadif + yadifmod for avisynth2.6/avisynth+. YV24, YV16, YV12, YV411, Y8 Plugin Chikuzen

[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

  • 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().
