For example, this script: Telecide Decimate.will run much slower than this one: Telecide. For more information see the Smart Decimate documentation in the Start Menu - AMVapp/Avisynth Filters/Documentation. Dont Invoke an Avisynth Strangeness This one is very important and can easily cost you a 25 speed penalty It appears that Avisynth has a strangeness that causes it to waste enormous amounts of time when there are no parentheses with the commands. # Convert to fields and shifting every other field by half a line: For NTSC footage use SmartDecimate(24,60). You'll have to determine your own parameters.ĭirectShowSource("your filname here.avi") However, I use a "No-Dups" AVISYNTH script that uses DGbob & FDecimate plugins to remove duplicate frames and set the FPS. If you just want to slow the captured image down you can do this directly in Virtual Dub without removing any duplicate frames. This should reduce or eliminate any flicker. Your camcorder should be set to 60 or 30fps and the projector speed around 20fps.
If these were home movies most likely it was shot at 18fps. Note: I dont catch the difference between Bob.Decimate(cycle2) and DoubleWeave.Selectodd. A lot depends on what the original fps the film was shot at and what fps your camera captured.
I wanted to post a small example clip but I'm not sure how to do it here.Īnd maybe somebody could post a good recipe for Chicken Florentine.Īlternatively you can plug in a Super 8mm cine projector and really enjoy watching some films, the better option! If anyone has any suggestions or better scripts to do this I'd love to try them. After trying 20, 18, 16, & 14 FPS, the above script brought the speed to what looks normal to me.īut as you probably know, 12 FPS looks kind of jerky and duplicate frames play a big role in this effort as well. I had to run the projector very fast to avoid flicker, which worked ok but the result was almost Keystone Cops speed. Import("C:\Program Files\Avisynth\plugins\sRestore.avs") Lower the frame rate of some very old 8mm films.
