DeRainbow

Latest revision as of 15:20, 6 March 2016

[edit] Description

A simple script to reduce rainbows.

[edit] Requirements

• AviSynth 2.5.8 or greater
• Supported color formats: YUY2, YV12
• Progressive input only

[edit] Required Plugins

Latest versions of the following filters are recommended unless stated otherwise.

• MaskTools2
• MipSmooth
• MSharpen

[edit] Syntax and Parameters

DeRainbow (clip org, int "thresh", bool "interlaced")

DeRainbowYUY2 (clip org, int "thresh", bool "interlaced")

clip  org =

Input clip.

int  thresh = 10

MSharpen threshold value; default is 10 (which is fairly strong).

bool  interlaced = false

False means the input clip is progressive; with true it's interlaced. Interlaced content is processed by using SeparateFields in the beginning and Weave at the end.

Note: this parameter was added as an after-thought, it's not technically correct so use with caution and only as a last resort.

[edit] Examples

DeRainbow with default settings:

AviSource("Blah.avi")
DeRainbow(thresh=10, interlaced=false)
