hi michie! okay so i have a problem. i downloaded my ts file and tried to run it through normalwebmrange but it never opened my resizer. i tried to run it through different bats but none of them worked. the resizer never opened what do I do?
Oh yikes I’m not sure how I missed this ask. I’m so sorry for the long wait. Not sure if you even need help anymore, but this might happen because you haven’t set a default browser to upen html files. To fix this, find the resizer.html file in the temp folder and open it. Make sure you set a default browser to open the file. Now when you run one of the bat files it should work fine. I hope this helps!
Hi can you make a denoise filter for avisynth like vapoursynth ? Please :/
Hi! I've watched a few Vapoursynth videos and saw that the KNLMeansCL denoiser is used in it. Unfortunately, you can only use this denoiser with Avisynth 2.6 or Avisynth+; However, you can easily update Avisynth!
In this reply, I will show you how to Install and use Avisynth+ and KNLMeansCL.
*NOTE: This explanation assumes you already have Avisynth 2.58 installed using this tutorial*
You will need:
Avisynth+ from here
KNLMeansCL from here
AvsPmod’s library.zip file from here
Installing Avisynth+ and KNLMeansCL:
There is a newer version of Avisynth+, but I will be showing how to use this version of Avisynth+ because I’ve tested it heavily.
Step 1: Updating Avisynth-
When you get to the AVS+ download page, scroll to the assets dropdown and click on the latest release’s EXE file. Click on the one that includes “vc_redist”.
Once you download it, run the installer. When it asks if you want to keep your old version of Avisynth, make sure the option that preserves your old Avisynth is selected. This way, you will still be able to install plugins to the Avisynth 2.5 plugins folder.
Step 2: Installing KNLMeansCL -
Once you download KNLMeansCL, unzip the file and copy the KNLMeansCL.dll file to the plugins folder here: C:/Program Files (x86)/AviSynth 2.5/plugins.
Step 3: Fixing the AvsPmod Error-
For some reason AvsPmod will show an error once you install Avisynth+, but this can be fixed with the library.zip file you downloaded!
Place the library.zip file in the C:/video/AvsPmod/lib folder. DO NOT UNZIP IT. Now when you run AvsPmod no errors should pop up.
Step 4: Using KNLMeansCL-
Run your normal Avisynth process. After you paste your settings from the resizer into AvsPmod, paste the KNLMeansCL settings you would use in Vapoursynth after debilinear/resamplehq and after (or before) your fine sharpening.
If you are confused on what settings to use, look at KNLMeansCL's official wiki
Adjust the last number (1.2) to control the strength. Lower values weaken the denoising and higher values strengthen the denoising.
Place this code in your script whenever you want to use it : )
*NOTE: KNLMeansCL has a few requirements to run properly, but they should already be automatically installed on your computer. You can view these requirements here if you face any errors. You probably won’t get any, but message me if any errors pop up*
*Optional* Adding KNLMeansCL to the Resizer:
I understand that it may be easier to just copy code from the resizer, so I have altered the resizer to include this feature.
*NOTE: I would save the old resizers somewhere safe before replacing them :)*
If you are using brandinator's resizer-
Download the edited resizer from here and place it in C:/video/temp. Now the resizer will look like this:
If you are using my Avisynth multiple resizer scripts-
Download the edited template from here and place it in C:/video/MultipleResize. Now the next time you run one of the scripts the resizer will look like this:
*NOTE: The new resizer is set up so that you control the strength of KNLMeansCL’s default settings which is knlmeanscl(1,2,4,1.2). If you want to change it, just open the resizer.html/HtmlTemp.txt file in notepad, search for knlmeanscl, and change 1,2,4 to your 3 values. Example: changing 1,2,4 to 0,4,6. Check the official wiki to understand what the first 3 values do.*
I really hope this helped you. I am terribly sorry for the long delay in response; I had to make sure I tested this thoroughly : )
The library.zip and the resizers can be found in my Tutorial Resource Folder
hi!! my multipleresizer tends to not gif portrait sized gifs (e.g videos from ig stories, portrait videos) cuz when i click the second gif in the chrome editor it tends to go out of bounds with the video and whenever i input the code at avspmod it dosen't seem to get the right size :( is there any way to fix this?
Hello I am super sorry for the late response. Please forgive me! Yes that is a bug unfortunately. All you have to do is right click somewhere on the gray background and click "Reload Frame"
The resizer should go back to normal for that video and you can resize and crop normally. Reloading the frame won't mess with settings you made for other scenes! Make sure you do this for all the scenes that look weird in the resizer.
*NOTE: Try to make sure that the width and the height in your output code are even numbers to avoid errors. Example: if the code is resamplehq(353,629,srcmatrix="TV.709") or debilinear(353,629), try to resize your video to something even like resamplehq(354,632,srcmatrix="TV.709") or debilinear(354,632)*
do you know if there is anyway to denoise videos with avisynth or anything similar to that? my photoshop takes too long to denoise with topaz denoise / even smart sharpen, so i was looking for an alternative to make my giffing process way faster… ;-;
Hey! I feel your pain! Takes forever for me too. Yes there are many ways to denoise using avisynth! all you need to do is find the right one. Here is a link to some denoisers: x.
All you would need to do is put the .dll files or whatever comes downloaded in the Avisynth plugins folder, and then add the code to your avs script :) You would have to read up on the best practices for the plugin you choose.
KNLMeansCL seems like a popular one, but I have never used any denoiser plugin other than neat video (virtualdub version) so I don't know which to recommend right now )-:
hi! can i ask where you get .ts files from? i like to use webmrange but it's harder to find mpeg2 files and it's frustrating because the other bats take sooo long. thank you :)
Hello! I usually get my .ts files from kpopexciting, kpop24hrs, and Dcinside. I have heard people can find .ts files by searching on twitter as well.
Yes finding Mpeg2 files is a struggle because it’s outdated; most people will encode their .ts files as H264 these days ): I have actually been working on coding a solution to this and a way to process multiple videos at once. I’ve adapted the code for single gifs for you :-) you can download this file and put it in the video folder (where the other .bat files are). It works for most videos and hopefully it takes less time. Also I believe Brandinator will be releasing new/better avisynth stuff at some point so stay tuned for that!
Hi! Would you consider sharing your topaz settings? Also, thanks to you I learned to use avisynth, so thank you so much for that!
Hey! I am glad that I could help you learn Avisynth! I actually changed my whole gif making process a month ago and do not use topaz anymore because I don’t like how long it takes to process (my laptop is shit). My settings weren’t that great and I would recommend trying (x) or (x), but my old sharpening + smoothing process was this:
Denoising with a program called Neat Video > NIK Collection - Color Efex Pro 4: Detail Extractor> Topaz Detail > Topaz Denoise
I DO NOT recommend using the NIK Collection on gifs because although it makes your gifs super sharp it takes forever to process. I am only mentioning it because I want to be transparent that I did not only use topaz so you may need to adjust the settings.
Here were my Topaz Detail Settings:
Everything else is set to default. Adjust where necessary.
For Topaz DeNoise:
I changed these settings alot (especially the overall strength slider) depending on how much noise was in the gif.
So those were my Topaz Settings in this ridiculously long answer.
I might make a video on how existing Avisynth users can use Neat Video because it basically does everything Topaz does in less than 1 minute.
I hope this jumbled rambling helped you in some way huhudhg
Hi Michie! I have a bit of a problem. I downloaded a 4k video through 4k video Downloader and then tried to run it through avisynth but it didn't work? The resizer opened but there was just a white screen, nothing else. What do I do?
Hi! There is a white screen because something went wrong when creating the bat_cut.webm file that should be located in the temp folder. I can’t really pinpoint the exact issue without more context. Can you screenshot any errors you got in the command prompt window? I would be able to help you better that way : )
