VirtualDub Deflicker

Another VirtualDub Deflicker Filter

And here's the original anti-flicker filter, upon which the Russian versions (above) are based:

Russian version is fully 1-pass original and did not based on 2-pass Graft's filter.

With regards! ;)

Dmitiri,

I am sorry for the confusion. One of the Russian plug-ins made a reference to Donald Graft's filter. I guess I didn't read it carefully. Again, my apologies.

The Russian variant appears to work the best but for the life of me I could not figure out how to get the plug in into Vegas. I ended up using the Virtual Dub stand alone prgram and the MSU filter. Thnak you for all the help and if you can give some direction regarding using this filter from within Vegas I will be even happier.

thanks again,

Peter Burn

for the life of me I could not figure out how to get the plug in into Vegas.

I just tried (using Wax) and while the filter loaded and it slowed down the frame rate of the playback, I didn't see anything happening on the screen. It eventually crashed Wax, and then Vegas.

You could ask Satish over in the debugmode.com forum. He has already acknowledged that some VD filters cannot be loaded successfully in Wax. Perhaps this is one of them.

Also, I just tried it on some flicker from a football game that was lit with generator lights that pulsed with a period of 1/3 of a second. This sort of flicker appears to be outside the range of the filter's parameters.

John,
just a thought on your flicker lights problem, maybe if you used say the cookie cutter to cut out just that part of the frame and rendered that portion out and took that into DeFlicker it would then see a larger variation and you may get it to trigger better.
If that doesn;t do it you could zoom in the cutout portion, render that and try DeFlicker then bring that back into Vegas and zoom it back to the correct size and composite it back in, maybe.
As to the other comments, I've never quite understood the urgency of getting these things to work inside Vegas, what's wrong with rendering out to a new avi and havinf VD work on and bringing that back in, even if you have to render to uncompressed, heck, big drives aren;t that expensive these days.
