AutoOverlay (PKA AutoAlign) discussion

[dylanv1025]

For someone who’s not very savvy with scripts, is there any way I can install this plugin to a video editor like premiere? Working on an Iron Man hybrid right now

Hello, just going to echo the above comment as well.

Can someone point me to where I even begin to learn how to use this plugin or even avisynth ? I'm at a complete loss. I've downloaded the plugin and program and just simply dont know where to start.

I think I just the gist that there's a lot of manual text / notepad tweaking that runs the program but how does this render at all?

Appreciate any help

As a person who has tried the program, I can say that it is that complex and there is no real way to simplify it, ​given all the possible variables. Its just something you have to figure on a per project basis. I certainly don't have a grasp on it.

That's why Random's projects are both unique and take awhile to do.

Avisynth is a very powerful software, you can do almost everything BUT... it's a pain in the... neck!

I suggest to take a look at doom9 forum; there is an avisynth dedicated subforum with helpful gurus.

Maybe this thread will help even though you might need to use Goggle translate.

Hello, everyone! I've posted this on doom9, but I thought I'd post it here as well. Maybe you peeps can help me out! (should I also post this on Rutracker by Google translating my text to Russian?) Anyway, here goes...

I am bad at AviSynth and would like your help. I can use AutoOverlay without any problems, I want to use ColorAdjust by itself in order to color match two video frames. On AutoOverlay's Github, these are the instructions:

Code:

ColorAdjust(clip sample, clip reference, clip sampleMask, clip referenceMask, float intensity,
int adjacentFramesCount, float adjacentFramesDiff,
            bool limitedRange, string channels, float dither, float exclude, string interpolation,
bool extrapolation, bool dynamicNoise, bool simd, bool debug)

So, this is my script. I want to make mpv-shot0002.png look like mpv-shot0001.png and I used all the defaults mentioned here:

Code:

video = ImageSource("c:\mpv-shot0002.png").ConvertToYV12()
video = ImageSource("c:\mpv-shot0001.png").ConvertToYV12()

ColorAdjust(clip="c:\mpv-shot0002.png", sample="c:\mpv-shot0002.png", reference="c:\mpv-shot0001.png",  samplemask=0, referencemask=0, intensity=1,
adjacentframescount=0, adjacentframesdiff=1,
            limitedrange=true, channels="yuv", dither=0.95, exclude=0, interpolation="linear",
extrapolation=false, dynamicnoise=true, simd=true, debug=false)
)

This script doesn't work. I'm sure I've made tons of mistakes, but there are some mind-boggling things about this that prevent me from fixing it:

• What is the correct way to leave both sampleMask and referenceMask empty? Is zero the correct value?
  
• Apparently the latest version of ColorAdjust has a new, undocumented parameter called "CacheId". What should I add there?
  
• Do I need to call MathNet.Numerics.dll, or is it automatically loaded?
  

I use AutoOverlay 0.4.2, AvsPmod x64, AviSynth+ x64 (both latest versions) on Win 10 x64.

Hello,
Been working on that HP project here and there but I'm a bit stuck right now.
Does anyone know how I can fix these?
The misalignment happens mostly in dark scenes like these and no matter what parameters I tweak the output is still the same. Any clues or particular options/values I should try?

PS: also not sure why but the editor keeps crashing on my side. I'm using MPC to test/run avisynth scripts. Does anyone know of better options?

Use AvsPmod instead of MPC: https://github.com/gispos/AvsPmod
For better aligning you need to select appropriate parameters for OverlayConfig, try lower values for minOverlayArea and minSourceArea and wider range for aspectRatio.

I tried playing around with the values quite a bit but the result is still roughly the same. This also happens only on certain dark scenes, 90% of the movie is fine.
What values would you recommend ?
My sources are:
4:3 (2880x2160)
16:9 (1920x1080)

I noticed on the editor that the diff for these frames are around 11/12. Isn't there a way to force the script to keep trying until it the diff is under a certain value?
I tried acceptableDiff=1 and maxDiff=1 but didn't make a difference.
Edit: Nevermind, it seems that Diff is around 11 also when the frames align correctly, so I assume the script really just thinks the alignment is as correct as when it actually is.
Thank you for your patience

Pls upload screenshots of that frame from two sources.
