GrainRemoveMask

In the S_GrainMask Plugin.

Similar to GrainRemove but only applies the affect to areas specified by the Mask input. Smooths the source clip while retaining the edges. To adjust the parameters in this effect, first use the show:EDGES option to inspect which edges will be retained and adjust Edges Threshold, Edges Width, and Edges Scale until the important edges are fairly sharp and bright but not jaggy. Then return to show:RESULT and adjust the smooth parameters to remove the appropriate amount of grain.

Inputs:

Source:  The clip to be processed.

Mask:  Scales the amplitude of the applied effect. For black areas of Mask, the Source remains unchanged, for gray areas the effect is reduced. Only the red channel of this input is used. The mask can optionally be inverted using Invert Mask parameter.
        

Parameters:

Smooth:   Default: 0.1,  Range: 0 or greater.
The amount of smoothing to apply to the non-edge regions.

Smooth Luma:   Default: 0.5,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the smoothing amount for the luminance component.

Smooth Chroma:   Default: 1,  Range: 0 or greater.
Scales the smoothing amount for the chrominance component.

Show:   Popup menu,  Default: RESULT.
Selects between output options.
RESULT:  outputs the final result.
EDGES:  outputs an image showing which edges are to be retained.

Edges Width:   Default: 0.02,  Range: 0 or greater.
The width of the edges to be retained.

Edges Scale:   Default: 0.25,  Range: 0 or greater.
The brightness of the edges to be retained.

Edges Threshold:   Default: 0.3,  Range: 0 or greater.
This value is subtracted from the initial edge image. Increasing it can help remove minor edges and speckles that should not be retained.

Invert Mask:   Check-box,  Default: off,  Shared.
If enabled, inverts the mask input so the effect is applied to areas where the Mask is black instead of white.
