For example, I’d like to use one model for automatic white balance, another model for automatic tone correction, and so on.
If it’s not too much trouble, I’d really appreciate it if you could add this option.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Do you have some sort of guide or even Youtube channel to learn Hybrid from the ground up ? 
I've only recently begun learning about video restoration and still very green with regards to the subject. It would be of great help.

The video was processed frame by frame, then rebuilt into a video sequence. The result looks good visually, but during playback I notice a slight temporal flickering/instability: some details, textures and fine lines slightly change from one frame to another, which creates a subtle "shaking" or "breathing" effect.
It is not a typical compression issue. The problem seems to come from small variations between consecutive frames after the restoration process.
I already tried temporal denoising (TemporalDegrain), which helps reduce the effect, but I am looking for a more effective solution that could preserve details while improving temporal stability.
Are there any recommended filters, workflows or techniques to reduce this kind of temporal flickering after frame-by-frame restoration/upscaling?
I can provide a short sample clip if needed.

I'm trying to restore and encode an old 90s anime DVD using VapourSynth.

My biggest issues are:

* Figuring out the correct deinterlacing/IVTC workflow.
* Dealing with frame blending/ghosting, as some scenes appear to have blended frames.
* Improving the colors, which look quite dull and washed out due to the age of the DVD.

I'm looking for the best modern VapourSynth workflow for this kind of source. Are there any recommended plugins or filter chains for handling these issues while preserving as much of the original detail as possible?

I know every DVD is different, so I'm not looking for a one-size-fits-all solution—I'm just interested in the workflow experienced anime encoders would typically start with.

If it helps, I can also upload a short lossless sample for analysis. http://titant.free.fr/tmp/GoldenBoy01.zip

At this point I'm not sure whether the source is simply interlaced, field-blended, or affected by a PAL conversion process.
Could anyone take a look and advise me on the best approach? In particular, I'd like to know:

• How to correctly identify the type of issue present in the source.
  
• Which filters or settings should be enabled or disabled.
  
• Whether deinterlacing alone is sufficient or if a more advanced restoration workflow is required.
  
• Recommended settings for achieving the cleanest possible encode.

The artifact appears consistently around candlelight in night scenes, as well as along high-contrast edges in daylight. Here are a few examples
     

I'm not entirely sure of the correct term – it may be related to “purple flare” or chromatic aberration. It’s very distracting and seriously degrades the viewing experience.
 
The same clips frequently suffer from a related dark edge problem. For example, candle flames often show a dark line on one side and a purple fringe on the other – extremely annoying.


I'm looking for an effective method/workflow that can remove these artifacts. I will provide a short test video; you only need to process the segments shown in the screenshots (no need to run the entire clip).

test video clip
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kmni1sN...sp=sharing

Key requirements:


Minimize luma (Y) channel processing as much as possible, and avoid noticeable detail loss. Ideally, the Y channel should be left mostly untouched, but limited processing is acceptable if it doesn’t degrade fine details significantly. This step serves as a pre-processing module before an AI model handles detail restoration, so preserving image information is critical.

Please note: the test source has been badly upscaled (not by me – I received it this way). You are free to downscale it if necessary.

If your solution meets my requirements, I'll pay $100 USD. Please provide a clear workflow (script, filter chain, or detailed steps) that I can apply. ]]> I'm restoring old films and TV series and keep running into a recurring image quality issue: strong edges often show a purple band or halo.
