D90 Stair-Stepping Removal

posted at the same time.. k going to try that in the script

when you say i don't have to convert, you mean all i have to do is open the file in VD without saving? Opening it does the trick?
 
what part of "just open it in pp" was hard to understand? sometimes the answer is so simple you don't even see it. you can delete vd from your hard drive if you like, even though it's a great program for many other things. avisynth is a frame server, it does the trick on the fly and it exports itself as an avi stream so the script will open in any program that can open avi's. vd happens to be free but you have pp.
 
ah, that i didn't understand, checking now.

and plz, you realy need to undrstand that a lot of this doesn't make an ounce of sense, so i need to take it very very very slowly hah. i do appreciate your patience though, so thank you.
 
but what am i opening in PP?

i change the resolution in the last line of the script, i saved it. closed it, my file when imported is still 720.
 
you think too much. read or try, the only ways to learn. asking can work but it annoys the hell out of the people around you after a while. :)

/m
 
listen, i tried opening the destep in pp, it doesn't work. i told the script where the file is, i saved and closed. so if i don't need virtual dub, why is it when i import the footage into my project it hasn't gone through the changes required?
 
sorry, same time again. you open the avs file, the same as you opened in virtual dub but you open it in premiere. same thing exactly.
 
right, but it won't open. unsupported file format.

unless im supposed to change the file format to avi?

nope, that didin't work.
 
how didn't it work? it's supposed to work the exact same way. you might have to install another codec, but that's beyond my knowledge, i'm a mac guy remember. no, you're not supposed to change the file name to avi, nice creative thought though so try it (it won't work but it might give you a different error). talk to car3o about this, he knows.
 
true. well, either way, i guess ill let it rest for tonight before i accidentally break something.

Last question, using virtualdub, what is a good lossless quality codec without getting my 160 meg file to 8 gigs?
 
i use picvideo mjpeg at full quality. not lossless but as close as it gets and with much smaller files. otherwise it's huffyuv, which is lossless but "only" compresses to half size.
 
;) you're a champ, have a nice night matt! Im sure ill return the favor some day, when im all mighty and knowledge about something you'll need hehe.
 
so i have these choices, unfortunately my version doesn't have the same compressors as you suggested:

anyone have experience with any of these?
 
"your version" has all the codecs you've installed. none of the ones on that list come from virtual dub, they're built into windows or installed by you.

Very bizarre problem for PC workflow to mac format workflow.

Using Virtualdub 1.5_10 with AVISynth and the destep filter, all is fine until I save it using PICvideo MJPEG 3 codec. When I play using quicktime or Final cut or compressor it plays incredibly choppy.

Infact, any video I save with Picvideo MJPEG codec plays choppy on mac.

Grrr?!
 
Script to create destep avs-files

Script to create destep avs-files

I made a small python script to create destep avs files for all avi files in a directory. You need to edit the script for it to find your original destep.avs file (the org variable is now set to E:\destep.avs)
First, install python from the official website. Then download the script below. Double click it, drag-and-drop the directory with the D90 avi-files you want to destep and process with virtualdub to the command window. A subdirectory will be created with a corresponding avs file for each avi file. Run virtualdub and load a processing setting (.vcf file) of your choice. Then go to Job Control (F4) and in the menu choose "Process directory..." and go to the directory with your new avs files.
