Hey Selur,
I’m working on an anime DVD (1999 source) that has strong chroma artifacts on edges (red/green flickering / rainbowing, especially along line art).
I’ve managed to attenuate the issue quite a bit using VapourSynth (mainly Decross + chroma denoise + some temporal filtering), and the result is definitely improved.
However, I still can’t fully remove the problem — in some scenes the red/green flickering on edges is still visible, especially during motion or on high-contrast outlines.
It seems to be a mix of cross-color and chroma instability from the source, but I’m not sure what the best next step would be.
Is there a better approach for stubborn chroma flickering on DVD anime sources?
Thanks a lot for any help 👍
