Description

A simple script to reduce rainbows.

Requirements:

- AviSynth 2.5.8 or later

- Supported color formats: YUY2, YV12

- Progressive input only

Required Filters:

• MaskTools2 2.0a48+
• MipSmooth
• MSharpen

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.

Examples
