Description

This is a derainbowing script which works with SSIQ. The basic problem with SSIQ is that it can alter the color on the entire picture, which is a very bad thing.

All we want to do is remove rainbows, while leaving everything else alone. To accomplish this, SSIQ is applied (at full strength) to the entire frame. An edge mask is created from the original video.

And finally, using Overlay it will blend ONLY the de-rainbowed edges onto the original video.

Requirements:

- AviSynth 2.5.8 or later

- Supported color formats: YV12

- Progressive input only

Required Filters:

• MaskTools2 2.0a48+
• SSIQ

Syntax and Parameters

SmartSSIQ(clip input, int "strength")

strength int = 200

Range: 0 - 255

Processing strength. This value ultimately controls the opacity in overlay.

opacity = strength/255.0

Examples

AviSource("Blah.avi")
SmartSSIQ()
