AutoOverlay (PKA AutoAlign) discussion

[Serums]

Thanks, spoRv.

That would be the goal, but the other known HDTV source of the uncut version has the same logos (appears to be either a different capture of the same airing or a different airing of the same cut). The easily attainable HDTV versions are of the shorter cut, which wouldn't be helpful for a few other reasons (different colours, cropping).

If the logo is transparent, there are good chances to remove it; if not, it would be harder... there are some delogo avisynth plugins, as well as virtualdub.

Thanks spoRv. To me it doesn't look quite transparent, but there's more side text that may be. I'll make a project thread with some screenshots, we can discuss it there rather than derail the discussion here.

Just as a follow up related to AutoOverlay, I'm at the point now where I have both my sources in 1080p but haven't yet tried to align them, and I have a few thoughts/queries.

1. Both sources have an extraneous screen at the beginning (logos that aren't important to the film, they're not the same between versions). Can something like MPEG Streamclip remove them (preferably without a reencode) before I get to the AutoOverlay stage itself?

2. Can AutoOverlay be tweaked so it can potentially use the SD source to mask the hardcoded subtitles? Or would something like DeSub be better for that?

Thanks!

Thanks!

What is number 2: Color interpolation disabling?

I'm just imagining the future where we would open the AutoOverlay app, pull two or three video sources into the appt, select the masking parameters and the appt AutoAligns all of them into one video file...

Possibility to exclude the colors which are not contained in the intersection area from color correction with interpolation="none".

There might be bug with mode 5 in the latest version, instead of being like Mode 3 but filling out all the space around including border with ambilight, as it was before and described in the documentation, now it zooms in and crops the picture. Similar to mode 2.
Example:
Mode 2:

Mode 3:

Mode 5 in latest version (Broken?):

Code:

a=ColorBars.Crop(100,0,-100,0)
b=ColorBars.Crop(0, 100,0,-100)
OverlayEngine(a, b).OverlayRender(a, b, debug=true, mode=5, width=b.Width, height=a.height)

Looks like there is no bug.
Let's try to reproduce it in sample script.
