Selur's Little Message Board

when i setting like this, using x264, the encoded file seems no any sharpen effect at all



the test file is

You did blindly set the values, didn't you?
1. Use the Vaporsynth preview to see what effects your settings have.
2. Use a lower threshold.

yeah. i set a few parameters, but no obvious effect, so i try to set the max value to see what will happen.

but whether a lower threshold or higher threshold, there are no diffenece when encoded, why?

No clue, what you are doing here the filter clearly has an effect.
I made three encodings:
First one without MSharpen (noMSharpen.mp4), second one (MSharpen_threshold6_strength39.mp4) with the default values in MSharpen for threshold (6) and strength (39)  and the third (MSharpen_threshold6_strength100.mp4) one with the default threshold (6) and a strength of 100.

Attached the results, they all differ.
Unless you disabled Vapoursynth after settings the filter settings by:
a. setting "Filtering->Support" to "noXSynth"
or
b. using NVEncC and enabling "Only use encoder"
my only guess is that you simply don't see the difference which is why I was refering to the "Vapoursynth preview" earlier.

i downloaded , and seems the effect is not very significant, MSharpen_threshold6_strength100.mp4 can see the effect a little, maybe MSharpen is not what i expected, so which filter sharpen picture with significant effect? because i think when using sharpen the quality seems a little more clearly

Which sharpen filter is the best suited depends on you likings and your content.
Personally I usually do only mild sharpening if useful using 'FineSharp' or 'LimitedSharpen-Faster-Mod', but what you want/need is really something you have to figure you. No clue what you want/like. Quality always is in the eye of the beholder.

OK, thanks for help.
