SMDegrain (AviSynth) PreFilter Issue

[phazer11]

1. you can copy the content of those popups using 'CTRL+C', so no need for tons of screenshots.
2. since you didn't post a debug output: What does the used avisynth script look like? I thought that SMDegrain needed removegrain onel when contrasharp as set to true or something other than '0', but seems like I overlooked a call path.

Here's the vapoursynth script which works.

# Imports import os import sys import ctypes # Loading Support Files Dllref = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary("C:/Program Files/Hybrid/vsfilters/Support/OpenCL.dll") import vapoursynth as vs core = vs.get_core() # Import scripts folder scriptPath = 'C:/Program Files/Hybrid/vsscripts' sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(scriptPath)) # Loading Plugins core.std.LoadPlugin(path="C:/Program Files/Hybrid/vsfilters/DenoiseFilter/KNLMeansCL/KNLMeansCL.dll") core.std.LoadPlugin(path="C:/Program Files/Hybrid/vsfilters/Support/libmvtools.dll") core.std.LoadPlugin(path="C:/Program Files/Hybrid/vsfilters/SourceFilter/LSmashSource/vslsmashsource.dll") # Import scripts import nnedi3_resample import mvsfunc import havsfunc # Loading D:\Video\Anime\MS GUNDAM WING BD COLLECTION\GUNDAMWINGBD1\GUNDAMWINGBD1\GUNDAMWINGBD1.mkv using LWLibavSource clip = core.lsmas.LWLibavSource(source="D:/Video/Anime/MS GUNDAM WING BD COLLECTION/GUNDAMWINGBD1/GUNDAMWINGBD1/GUNDAMWINGBD1.mkv", format="YUV420P8", cache=0) # making sure input color matrix is set as 709 clip = core.resize.Point(clip, matrix_in_s="709") # Making sure input color range is set to TV (limited) range. clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_ColorRange", intval=1) # cropping the video to 1280x720 clip = core.std.CropRel(clip=clip, left=240, right=240, top=0, bottom=0) # removing grain using SMDegrain clip = havsfunc.SMDegrain(input=clip, tr=6, thSAD=600, thSADC=300, RefineMotion=True, contrasharp=True, interlaced=False, subpixel=3, prefilter=0, blksize=8, search=5, truemotion=False) # denoising using KNLMeansCL clip = core.knlm.KNLMeansCL(clip=clip, d=9) # denoising using KNLMeansCL clip = core.knlm.KNLMeansCL(clip=clip, d=9) # adjusting output color from: YUV420P8 to YUV420P10 for x265Model (i420) clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV420P10) # Output clip.set_output()

Here's the Avisynth which does not work (even without the other filters) same settings in the GUI
