== Description ==
:Get source clip and prepare special "super" clip with multilevel (hierarchical scaled) frames data. The super clip is used by both MAnalyse and motion compensation (client) functions.
:For storing and transferring its parameters we use audio properties of super clip (specifically, num_audio_samples) as a trick. So, audio is killed in super clip.
:That is one of reasons why we additionally use a source clip with client functions. You may have a look at the super clip yourself (it has normal format).
 
 
== Syntax and Parameters ==
:{{Template:FuncDef|MSuper (clip, int "hpad", int "vpad", int "pel", int "levels", bool "chroma", int "sharp", int "rfilter", clip "pelclip", bool "isse", bool "planar") }}
 
::{{Par2|hpad|int|8}}
:::Horizontal padding added to source frame (both left and right). Small padding is added for more correct motion estimation near frame borders.
 
::{{Par2|vpad|int|8}}
::::Vertical padding added to source frame (both top and bottom). Small padding is added for more correct motion estimation near frame borders.
 
::{{Par2|pel|int|2}}
:::It is the accuracy of the motion estimation. Value can only be 1, 2 or 4.

::::*1 : means precision to the pixel.
::::*2 : means precision to half a pixel.
::::*4 : means precision to quarter of a pixel, produced by spatial interpolation (more accurate but slower and not always better due to big level scale step).
 
::{{Par2|levels|int|0}}
:::It is the number of hierarchical levels in super clip frames. MAnalyse needs all levels, but for other client functions single finest level is enough (courser levels are not used).
:::Default : 0 (auto, all possible levels are produced).
 
::{{Par2|chroma|bool|true}}
:::If set to true, it allows to prepare chroma planes too in superclip. (false - luma only).
 
::{{Par2|sharp|int|2}}
:::Subpixel interpolation method for pel=2,4.

::::*0 : use for soft interpolation (bilinear).
::::*1 : bicubic interpolation (4 tap Catmull-Rom)
::::*2 : 2 for sharper Wiener interpolation (6 tap, similar to Lanczos).
 
::{{Par2|rfilter|int|2}}
:::Hierarchical levels smoothing and reducing (halving) filter.

::::* 0 : simple 4 pixels averaging like unfiltered [[SimpleResize]] (old method)
::::* 1 : triangle (shifted) filter like [[ReduceBy2]] for more smoothing (decrease aliasing)
::::* 2 : triangle filter like [[BilinearResize]] for even more smoothing
::::* 3 : quadratic filter for even more smoothing
::::* 4 : cubic filter like [[BicubicResize]](b=1,c=0) for even more smoothing

::: You may also try to apply some external filter to superclip or its coarse bottom part (by appropriate crop and overlay).
 
::{{Par2|pelclip|clip| }}
:::Optional upsampled source clip for using instead of internal subpixel interpolation (for {{Template:FuncDef|pel}}>1).
:::Pixels at rows and colunms positions multiple to pel (0,2,4,... for {{Template:FuncDef|pel}}=2) (without padding) must be original source pixels, other pixels must be interpolated.

::::Example for {{Template:FuncDef|pel}}=2: LanczosResize(width*2,height*2,src_left=0.25, src_top=0.25).
::::Recent note: it is true for luma, but is not exactly corresponded to chroma pixels positions of internal MVTools interpolation.
::::Nevertheless vectors and motion compensation are quite similar for usual clips, same chroma would be with src_left=0.5 for YUY2 and additionally src_top=0.5 for YV12).

:::Other useful example is [[eedi3]] edge-directed resampler.

+Supported formats: Y, YUV and planar RGB (8-32) bits, and YUY2. You can use a different Super clip to generate vectors with MAnalyze and a different Super clip format for the actual action. This enables support for planar RGB with MFlowFPS, and lets MDegrain work with 32 bit float input clips.

 :::'''MSuper''' uses a special trick for storing frames with [[planar]] color in an interleaved YUY2 container. This way we can avoid numerous internal interleaved to planar conversions and increase speed. You can convert normal interleaved YUY2 source clip to planar format with the ''Interleaved2planar'' function from [[RemoveGrain_v0.9/SSETools]] plugin by {{Author/kassandro}}, and convert final result by ''Planar2interleaved'' function. This special planar YUY2 format is also supported by [[RemoveGrain_v0.9|Removegrain]] plugin by Kassandro, [[MaskTools2]] plugin by Manao and some others.
 ::Note: super clip is always planar. Default is false.
