Method to adjust color temperature?

[Analog]

Hi Selur,

I installed the dev version you sent me, but it appears interlace handling is broken. I tried importing interlaced FFV1 and v210 at 30fps interlaced and they both output 15fps files (which playback at half speed). I tried x265 and SVT-HVEC with interlace enabled and auto-deinterlace handling set to off. Audio is set to ignore. All other settings default (except quality quantization strength).

Log file can be found here (can't attach it for some reason): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P8JqFBf...sp=sharing

I also found that if I export as MP4 instead of MKV, there is no interlace flag set. It comes out as progressive 30fps.

Change Temperature seems to work OK though & it's fast! Thanks for figuring out a way to implement it!

Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks!

About the fps:

# Imports
import vapoursynth as vs
# getting Vapoursynth core
core = vs.core
# Loading Plugins
core.std.LoadPlugin(path="C:/Program Files/Hybrid/64bit/vsfilters/SourceFilter/LSmashSource/vslsmashsource.dll")
# source: 'K:\RAW\XXXXXXXXXXXX.mov'
# current color space: YUV422P10, bit depth: 10, resolution: 1920x1080, fps: 30, color matrix: 709, yuv luminance scale: limited, scanorder: top field first
# Loading K:\RAW\XXXXXXXXXXXX.mov using LibavSMASHSource
clip = core.lsmas.LibavSMASHSource(source="K:/RAW/XXXXXXXXXXXX.mov")
# Setting detected color matrix (709).
clip = core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Matrix=1)
# Setting color transfer info (709), when it is not set
clip = clip if not core.text.FrameProps(clip,'_Transfer') else core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Transfer=1)
# Setting color primaries info (BT.709), when it is not set
clip = clip if not core.text.FrameProps(clip,'_Primaries') else core.std.SetFrameProps(clip, _Primaries=1)
# Setting color range to TV (limited) range.
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_ColorRange", intval=1)
# making sure frame rate is set to 30
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=30, fpsden=1)
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_FieldBased", intval=2) # tff
# cutting from frame 0 to 1297  - WARNING: This might cause synch issues
clip = core.std.Trim(clip=clip, first=0, last=1297)
# adjusting output color from: YUV422P10 to YUV420P10 for SvtHevcModel
clip = core.resize.Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV420P10, range_s="limited")
# set output frame rate to 30fps (top field first)
clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(clip=clip, fpsnum=30, fpsden=1)
# Output
clip.set_output()

looks fine, issue is probably with the interlacing and the muxing call:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\mkvmerge.exe" --ui-language en -o "C:\VIDEO\2023-11-23@02_54_20_6510__04.mkv" --global-tags "C:\VIDEO\mkvtags_2023-11-23@02_54_20_6510__04.xml" -d 0 --default-track 0:yes --track-name 0:"2023-07-15 21:41:37 UTC" --language 0:en --default-duration "0:30/1i" --aspect-ratio-factor 0:1/1 --no-chapters --compression -1:none --forced-track 0:yes --field-order 0:1 --no-audio --no-subtitles "C:\VIDEO\asdf_1_2023-11-23@02_54_20_6510_02.265" --track-order 0:1

instead of

--default-duration "0:30/1i"

one probably has to use "0:60/1i" (this seems to change every few years, I remember having to switch between these values before,...)
As a workaround, enable "Filtering->Speed Change->Change speed" and set it to "60fps" (= 2x input frame rate).

Regarding mp4 and interlacing: Does it work if you use FFmpeg as muxer (Config->Containers->MP4->FFmpeg instead of MP4Box)?

Ps.: Attaching attachments should work fine if you zip them.

The problem is not with the muxing, it's with svt hevc in Hybrid.
Hybrid does not set '-interlaced-video'.
-> working on it.

[Selur]

Okay, fixing svt-hevc interlaced encoding is problematic, since mediainfo still reports the output of the encoder video not as interlaced.

which is why when muxed with MP4Box and FFmpeg the output is not flagged as interlaced.
Maybe I can find a workaround for FFmpeg.

Seems like svt-hevc does create not properly flagged hevc streams.
When using '-interlaced-video 1' does seem not properly flag the stream. (mkvmerge only adds a container flag which that signals interlacing.)
Additionally using '-separate-field 1', does only work with 8bit and even then it produces broken output.
=> not sure whether I'll look into it further or whether I should remove this broken interlaced support.

also isn't detected as interlaced by mediainfo.
ffmpeg reports:

but the encoding options is '--interlace bff '.

Okay, this will take a while.

[Selur]

I did some testing and

• fixed some problems with hevc interlaced muxing (when muxing to .mkv the frame rate should be okay now)
  
• added a warning to the log, that the flagging will not be correct when using an .mp4 conainer.
  
• disabled interlaced hevc muxing to .avi/.mov/.ts/.m2ts
  

send you a link to a dev version for testing.

Ps.: I'm happy that av1 does not support interlacing, and I would advise against using hevc with interlaced encoding.
