Neues Problem mit Adaptive Sharpen!

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 12:07:08 +0200

Hallo Selur,

ich habe gestern plötzlich aus dem Nichts ein Problem mit Adaptive Sharpen. Beim Bildvergleich wird beim Nachherbild jetzt plötzlich ein grünes Bild angezeigt. Vorher hat alles normal geklappt. Ich habe nichts geändert daran. Wenn man Adaptive Sharpen (GLSL) deaktiviert, ist die Vorschau ganz normal. Das Problem besteht bei Vapoursynth. Ich weiß zwar nicht mehr, welche Version ich zuvor hatte, aber ich habe jetzt eben die neue Experimental drauf, wo das Problem aber ebenfalls besteht. Also es liegt auf jeden Fall daran, wenn man den Haken bei Adaptive Sharpen (GLSL) setzt. Ich muss jetzt nur mal prüfen, ob der Output auch so ist, weil ich es bisher nur bei der Preview gesehen habe.

Liebe Grüße
Peter

Version: 4.9.2026

Reproduce:
Start Program, Do not load any input file
Switch to Prores Codec
VUI shows default value as smpte170m ?

SRSLY WTF

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 10:10:57 +0200

This is 2nd verified time this has happened, but I needed to encode a large video file. Cleared 200gigs worth of space on my hard drive, attempted but was still not enough (error/was told not enough space). I closed the app, and my hard drive now reads as 89 Gb's from the prior 200+gb attempt. I imagine something was rendered and taking up space, so I open up the app again, clear the job, close the app and restart my computer. But NOPE! still reading under as 89gb.

WHERE did my other 100 gb's go? I used ccleaner, and nothing. Where is the incomplete video file being stored so i can delete it? Like I said, this is the second verified time (god knows how much space on my hard drive this app is wasting on botched video renders) I've noticed this. This thing is poorly optimized. And no, there is no mistake, I didn't download anything during the encode or mis-read how much data I had prior.

Why is 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ detected as rgb/4:2:0/8/tv on macOS? (Hybrid 2026.08.21.1

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 09:26:15 +0200

Hi everyone,
I'm using the latest macOS build on an Apple Silicon M2 Mac:

Hybrid version: 2026.08.21.1
Python version: 3.14.7

When I load a 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 HQ .mov file (PAL 720x576, 25fps, Top Field First), Hybrid displays this under the Video info on the Base tab:
Color: rgb/4:2:0/8/tv
Under Show All Data, the XML shows:

Color Space: rgb
Color: 4:2:0
Bit depth: 8

However, MediaInfo and ffmpeg report the file as YUV 4:2:2 10-bit:

MediaInfo CLI: YUV, 4:2:2, 24
ffmpeg: yuv422p10le

Because Hybrid sees the input as RGB24, the generated VapourSynth script inserts this line right before QTGMC:

# adjusting color space from RGB24 to YUV444P8 for vsQTGMC
clip = core.resize.Bicubic(
clip=clip,
format=vs.YUV444P8,
matrix_s="470bg",
range_in_s="full",
range_s="limited",

This causes the contrast to get washed out and blacks turn gray.
I tried changing the settings in:

Filtering -> (De-)Interlace/Telecine -> Overwrite input luminance
Filtering -> Vapoursynth -> Misc -> Overwrite output: color matrix / luma
Unchecking "Convert to target color space after source filter"

...but none of these prevented Hybrid from inserting that RGB24 -> YUV444P8 conversion before QTGMC.
Is there a way or a setting to make Hybrid recognize this file properly as YUV 4:2:2 10-bit instead of RGB 8-bit, or is this an input parsing issue with ProRes on macOS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello again!

When loading a 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ interlaced .mov on macOS (Hybrid 2026.08.21.1 ARM64), the file gets treated as rgb/4:2:0/8, which triggers an unwanted RGB24 -> YUV444P8 conversion before QTGMC and washes out contrast.
Looking through the Debug Output (level 9), I noticed this section during the analysis:
FFmpeg output:
Stream #0:00x1: Video: prores (HQ) (apch / 0x68637061), yuv422p10le(top coded first (swapped)), 720x576, 58705 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 2500 tbn (default)
Followed by:
Analyzing ffmpeg data...
-> found video_luminancescale: tv
-> found video_colorspace: rgb
-> found video_color: 4:2:0
-> found video_bitDepth: 8

Could it be that the additional tag "(top coded first (swapped))" right after "yuv422p10le" might confuse the parser here?
I have attached the full Debug Output Level 9 and a small sample file for you to check.
Thanks for your time and help!
Best regards

QTGMC Now Crashing Hybrid - Header too large?

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 22:21:12 +0200

Hello, I've been using Hybrid successfully for years now to deinterlace with QTGMC (and convert colorspace from 601 to 709).
One day, it started crashing every time I attempted to deinterlace (with whatever version I had been using successfully for a long time). I updated to the latest Hybrid version and am having the same issues.

My Hybrid version is 2026.03.21.1 on Windows 10 64-bit.

My typical workflow is:

Input an Uncompressed AVI, ProRes 422 HQ, or FFV1 Matroska
Processing-- Video: ProRes / Audio: passthrough all
Encoder: Standard / Profile: 422 HQ
Deinterlace-- QTGMC Vapoursynth / Preset: Medium / Bob: Yes
Vapoursynth-- ColorMatrix: From 601 to 709

^and that's it! This also happens whether or not I engage the colorspace conversion.

I keep getting the errors:
FFmpeg output: [in#0 @ 000001f68a421a80] Header too large.
[in#0 @ 000001f68a420480] Error opening input: Invalid argument
Error opening input file -.
Error opening input files: Invalid argument

...and then:
process finished with exitcode: -22 and exitStatus: 0

Attached is the Debug output. Unfortunately, I'm not super tech-savvy when it comes to this stuff, mainly just doing basic conversions in ffmpeg and then of course this wonderful GUI I can't wait to use again.

BasicVSR++ temporal jumps at group boundaries

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 05:16:40 +0200

I'm using VapourSynth/Other/BasicVSR++ to restore a DVD source. The output has noticeable temporal inconsistency – the background jumps every few frames, especially in long shots.

I suspect this is due to chunk processing. Increasing length to 150 makes those 150 frames coherent, but the jump reappears exactly between frame 150 and 151. It seems the model doesn't handle boundaries well.

Is there a way to process with overlapping windows (like a sliding window with crossfade) to smooth out boundary jumps? Or any other recommended approach to maintain temporal continuity across groups?

Problem with 03.2026 version

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 21:37:22 +0200

Dear Selur,
I am writing to ask for help. I have downloaded the March version of the software, installed it and after trying to open, the following message has appeared: C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\SvtAv1EncApp.exe" --version' didn't get started after 5 seconds -> aborting,... Restarting Hybrid might solve the problem,... The cause might also be some incompatibility with the tool and your system.
I use Inter 265K CPU. Maybe you have newer dev version?
Best,
Alek

hey there.

version 21.8.2026
the above mentioned filter has become(?) defective, producing wildly erroneous output, see image.

SVT-AV1 + Vapoursynth encode error

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 17:00:49 +0200

Tested on Hybrid_dev_2026.08.19-185814 and Hybrid_dev_2026.08.13:

Choose svt-av1 as encoder, load a input file, don't enable any filter in vapoursynth, set an output file, add to queue, start the job, no error happens.

Choose svt-av1 as encoder, load a input file, enable at least one filter in vapoursynth, set an output file, add to queue, start the job, an error like "2026-08-20@22_24_43_7310_03_video crashed: Error: Invalid parameter '--input' with value '\\.\pipe\2026-08-20@22_24_43_7310_03_video' will happen.

One more thing: In Hybrid_dev_2026.08.19-18581, if I enable KNLMeansCL and YUV420 chroma location in Vapoursynth -> Misc -> Script, the script looks like this:

clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.RGB24, matrix_in_s="709"chromaloc=0, range_in_s="limited", range_s="full")

maybe missing comma?

In Hybrid_dev_20260625-152245 it is:

clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.RGB24, matrix_in_s="709", range_in_s="limited", chromaloc=0)

Get every vapoursynth plugin on arch linux

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 19:22:20 +0200

how can I install every vapoursynth and tools for hybrid on arch?!?! and when I'm going to use some filtering I always need to install it and another problem that I'm having it's that it cannot find the plugins even though I installed them like this qtgmc that I already installed the havsfunc but hybrid seems to not detect it. Soo I have an question. Why Hybrid on linux doesn't come bundled with all vapoursynth plugins unlike on windows??? and before anyone asks me yeah I tried this plugin bundle https://github.com/drfear-zz/Hybrid-Vapo...-installer but even than there is an lot of outated sources so causing an lot of missing plugins.
