[HELP] Fragments disappear in hand-drawn animation

[Selur]

because for some reason it does not render with the settings that I threw off. Only the preview runs, with the example that you described above.

No clue what you did, the example above worked fine here for preview and encoding.

Let me know whether KillerSpots worked for you.

Rendering error, tried on different codecs. The debug file is not being created for some reason. The preview runs for 30-40 seconds, then crashes sometimes.

The log you posted starts with:

This log is only intended for user information.
It should not be part of a bug/problem report!!

so I do not know why you posted it, assuming you do not want to insult me.

-> Read the sticky and provide a proper debug output of what you are doing and I can look at it.

Also check whether the Preview works properly or whether it shows an error.

I have enabled this in the settings. The debug file is not being created for some reason. The preview runs for 30-40 seconds, then crashes sometimes.
I'm sorry, I'm looking for it at the specified path, and it's where the file appears.

[Selur]

If you have a NVIDA card try enabling: "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Source->Use DGDecNV when available"
If you have an Intel card try setting: "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Source->Libav hardware deocding mode" to 2 or 3
If the script is this still unstable on your system set: "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Script->Limit thread count" to 1

I'm sorry, I'm looking for it at the specified path, and it's where the file appears.

Assuming the output folder is specified, and debug output is enabled it directly should create a file.

Everything works with the "Limit thread count", thank you.

encoding call seems fine (aside from using a 6.1 level while restricting vbv that much).

->
1. try lowering the Vapoursynth thread count to 1 and see if that works.
2. try whether using another decoder helps
3. does it work with another encoder

Everything works with the "Limit thread count", thank you.

Happy that worked.

May be it would be enough to limti the numbedr od threads just for the decoder.
-> will try adding an option for that (send you a link to a dev version with "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Misc->Source->Limit decoder threads")

Sadly RemoveDirt for Vapoursynth is totally unstable.
The project was simingly abandomned 8 years ago.
pinterf who made an Avisynth++ port of it confirmed that the project was so much of a mess that he went back to the old Avisynth version for the Avisynth++ port and he thinks it's unlikely he will port the Avisynth++ version to Vapoursynth.
So anything that is based on RemoveDirt is Avisynth(++) only atm. for the time being.
-> Will adjust KillSpots to drop the advanced code and remove RemoveDirt from Vapoursynth during next week.

Thanks, well. Unfortunately, most of the video cleaning solutions now seem to be based only on old developments that are difficult to be compatible with new equipment.
