Trouble with ApplyOnlyTo setting in Hybrid?

[CaseyStelken]

I'm encoding an old TV commercial using Hybrid v2023.12.02.1 and using the "SpotLess" filter to clean up a few artifacts. It looks terrific.

But I noticed at the very end of the commercial, just the last few frames are suddenly shifted down and to the right for some reason. This only happens when I have the SpotLess filter turned on, so I'm trying out the "ApplyOnlyTo" filter for the first time.

The video has 908 frames total. I selected all the frames in the video EXCEPT the very last few frames that shift out of place with the SpotLess filter enabled:

But when I do this, the SpotLess filter no longer has any visible effect on any of the video. I'm guessing I'm using the "ApplyOnlyTo" function wrong? Is the "range" field supposed to be timestamps rather than video frames? I tried instead entering "00:00.000-00:29.796" for the range, but Hybrid doesn't seem to like that.

Thanks as always for any suggestions!

Saw a videohelp message where Selur wrote "(note that there is a mistake in the description you need to use [a b] instead of [a-b] to filter just the frames a-b."

So try and remove the hyphen in between 0 and 896.

Yes, it should be:

[0 896]

I hoped the tool-tip, would make that clear:

Quote:

Each line in the text file or in the mappings string must have one of the following forms:
'a z'
Replaces frame a in the base clip with frame z from the filtered clip.
'[a b] z'
Replaces all frames in the range [a b] of the base clip with frame z from the filtered clip.
'[a b] [y z]'
Replaces all frames in the range [a b] in the base clip with frames in the range [y z] from the filtered clip. If the input and output ranges do not have equal sizes, frames will be duplicated or dropped evenly from [y z] to match the size of [a b]. If y > z, the order of the output frames is reversed.
