Avisynth: replace the parameters in the optimal MA script?
 

While reading some of the previous questions and answers on the MovieStacker thread I came across Kwag's response to the effect that we should replace the parameters in the optimal MA script with the equivalent parameters determined by MovieStacker.

Just to be sure I have understood this correctly, I want to pose the following example. The latest MA script has, among others, the following lines:

GripSize(Resizer="BicubicResize")
MergeChroma(blur(1.5))
MergeLuna(blur(0.1)

MovieStaker generates the following equivalent lines for my avi:

GripSize(Resizer="BilinearResize")
MergeChroma(blur(1.58))
MergeLuna(blur(0.2)

My question is: did I understand Kwag correctly to mean that I should substitute the MovieStacker lines in the MA script and run that? Somehow that doesn't seem right to me, since each script was put together to achieve a certain effect, and mixing parameters could screw up the whole thing. Perhaps somebody who knows more than me can set me straight? Thanks.

Use the latest optimal script, the settings has been tweaked so that you can expect the best quality!

Hi Aielman,

The current MA script takes precedence over the scripts generated by Moviestacker.
The lines that you have to edit, are the resizing lines (Gripcrop values) or bicubicresize and addborders (If you are not going to use GripFit).

Thanks, Kwag and CheronAph. I understand now. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you too!
