Hello
I have just registered with the new year! I am interested in restoration from laserdiscs and VHS, mainly cartoon related and for beter preservation. I did know of you thanks to a post referring to PanUp in other forum, so I came quickly here and discovered a lot of interesting threads.
Well, we'll see what I can learn and even maybe contribute, but I am fairly new in the restoration.

Every end of the year I think about what's happened during the previous twelve months, trying to find the best things to remember, and errors to avoid; here I would write something about fan projects. - everyone wants you to release your project as soon as possible, and obtain it immediately, but few ones want to help; I always say that a simple "go on", or even a critic if constructive, may seems a little thing, but could be important for us to keep going on
- leaving a project behind sometimes is beneficial, because it clears our minds and, when we will be back, we often have fresh ideas and techniques
- every day I discover something new that will help to fix, enchance, change, reconstruct a given movie; when it could be important for the community, I share the idea, technique, method, script, whatever - even if often nobody seems to care...
- some old friends from other forums, and brand new members, have joined us lately; this is very positive for us all, not only for their projects, but also for their personal thoughts and inputs
- I must stop to continue to start new projects without releasing the previously started ones... my promise for the 2017 is that I will (try to) change that!

I wish an Happy New Year to everyone!

| DeFade function |

Code: ###########################################################################################
### DeFade: recovers the faded part of a clip ###
### ###
### Usage: DeFadeIn(clip,frames) and DeFadeOut(clip,frames) ###
### ###
### The frames number includes the most near to the unfaded, and the nearest to black ###
### Nearest black frame(s) suffers of banding ###
### ###
### AviSynth script made by Gavino, using Motenai Yoda's method - Created: 2016-12-29 ###
### Original idea: spoRv - reference: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=174140 ###
### ###

###########################################################################################
function DefadeOut(clip c, int frames) {
c
Animate(framecount-frames-1, framecount, "Defade2", 1.0, 0.0)
}
function DefadeIn(clip c, int frames) {
c.reverse
Animate(framecount-frames-1, framecount, "Defade2", 1.0, 0.0)
reverse
}
# Helper function to be animated by Defade()
function Defade2(clip c, float div) {
mx = 1.0/div
c.mt_lut(expr="x 128 - "+string(mx)+" * 128 +", yexpr="x 16 - "+string(mx)+" * 16 +",u=3,v=3)
}
To be perfect, if should include also the frame number where the defade should start; but I'm too lazy to do that, so it's up to you - waiting for your modifications!
Happy New Year!

Code: ############################################################################################
### GrainPlate 1.0: add real grains to your clip! ###
### ###
### Usage: GrainPlate(clip, strenght) ###
### where strenght range goes from 0 (clip untouched) to 1 (max strenght) ###
### ###
### Just add your own grain plate, there are many free to download over the web. ###
### Hints: NEVER upscale/downscale a grain plate; choose one with the same size of your ###
### clip, or bigger; choose only REAL film grain, and not recreated. ###
### ###
### AviSynth script made by spoRv (http://blog.sporv.com) - Created: 2014-06-18 ###
### Updated: 2016-12-29 ###

############################################################################################
function grainplate (clip clip, "strength") {
strength = default( strength, 0.25)
grain=avisource("putyourowngrainplatefilehere.avi")\
.crop(0,0,clip.width,clip.height).loop.trim(0,clip.framecount-1)
return overlay(clip.tweak(bright=1),grain,mode="softlight",opacity=strength) }
Warning: check the brightness settings with the grain plate you decide to use; it must be raised to be the same of the source without grain plate applied!
