STPresso

Revision as of 19:19, 26 May 2014

Description

The goal of STPresso is to "dampen the grain just a little, to keep the original look, and make it fast". In other words it

makes a video more compressible without losing detail and original grain structure. STPresso is recommended for 720p

content because "the spatial part might be a bit too narrow for 1080p encoding (since it's only a 3x3 kernel)". Finally,

STPresso stands for Spatial Temporal Pressdown.

Requirements

- AviSynth 2.5.8 or later

- Progressive input only

- Supported color formats: YV12

Required Filters:

• FluxSmooth
• MaskTools2 2.0a48+
• RemoveGrain - part of the RemoveGrain v1.0b package.

Syntax and Parameters

STPresso (clip clp, int "limit", int "bias", int "RGmode", int "tthr", int "tlimit", int "tbias", int "back")

clip  clp =

Input clip.

int  limit = 3

Spatial limit: the spatial part won't change a pixel more than this.

int  bias = 24

The percentage of the spatial filter that will apply.

int  RGmode = 4

The spatial filter is RemoveGrain, this is its mode.

int  tthr = 12

Temporal threshold for FluxSmooth; Can be set "a good bit bigger" than usually.

int  tlimit = 3

The temporal filter won't change a pixel more than this.

int  tbias = 49

The percentage of the temporal filter that will apply.

int  back = 1

After all changes have been calculated, reduce all pixel changes by this value. (Shift "back" towards original value)

Examples

STPresso with all default values:

AviSource("Blah.avi")
STPresso(limit=3, bias=24, RGmode=4, tthr=12, tlimit=3, tbias=49, back=1)
