[HELP] Processing tips?

[Selur]

side note: I moved the thread to the 'Small Talk'-subforum.

Looking at 077:
For general processing, I would:

• overwrite the scan type to "top field first", so that Hybrid will automatically deinterlace the source
  
• enable 'Auto White' or 'Gray World'
  
  
• crop all black bars
  
• add a sharpener i.e. "CAS(strength=0.7)", idrectly after the crop (filter order needs to be adjusted for this)
  
  you maybe might want a lower the strength to 0.5
  
• add EdgeFixer "edgefixer.Continuity(clip, bottom=8, radius=3)" behind the crop, but before CAS (filter order needs to be adjusted for this)
  
  maybe additionally setting top=4.
  

About denoising&co, this often comes down to personal preferences.
Personally, I don't think the source is that noisy, I would probably just use something like SMDegrain "smdegrain.SMDegrain(clip, tr=3, contrasharp=30, interlaced=False, opencl=True, device=-1)":

or one of the other Degrain filters.
Depending on what you are aiming to do, with the output of Hybrid, adding BasicVSR++ (applied on Chroma only; note: BasicVSR++ requires an NVIDIA gpu and the torch add-on)

You could also apply some denoising and restrict it to the darker areas (using a LimitMask)

Will look at the other sample later, just found a bug I need to fix first.
