vapoursynth-cranexpr 0.8.0

VapourSynth expr plugin built on top of Cranelift.

cranexpr

cranexpr is like std.Expr but built on top of Cranelift. It's a VapourSynth plugin that allows one to evaluate an expression per pixel.

Examples

Median of 3 clips:

core.cranexpr.Expr([x, y, z], "x y min x y max z min max")

Flip a clip horizontally:

core.cranexpr.Expr([x], "width X - 1 - Y x[]")

3x3 box blur:

core.cranexpr.Expr([x], "x[-1,-1] x[0,-1] x[1,-1] x[-1,0] x x[1,0] x[-1,1] x[0,1] x[1,1] + + + + + + + + 9 /")

Features

• Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %, pow, exp, log, sqrt.
• Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan, atan2.
• Comparison: >, <, =, >=, <=.
• Logical: and, or, xor, not.
• Bitwise: bitand, bitor, bitxor, bitnot.
• Clamping: min, max, clip (alias: clamp).
• Rounding: floor, round, trunc.
• Ternary (if/else): ?.
• sgn: Returns the sign of a value (-1 if negative, 1 if positive, 0 if zero).
• Constants:
  • width: Width of the plane.
  • height: Height of the plane.
  • N: Current frame number.
  • pi: π.
• Stack manipulation:
  • dropN, drop: drops the top N values from the stack. drop is equivalent to drop1.
  • dupN, dup: allows a value N steps up in the stack to be duplicated. The top value of the stack has index 0 meaning that dup is equivalent to dup0.
  • swapN, swap: allows a value N steps up in the stack to be swapped. The top value of the stack has index 0 meaning that swap is equivalent to swap1. This is because swapN always swaps with the topmost value at index 0.
• Variables:
  • var!: Pops the top value from the stack and stores it in a variable named var.
  • var@: Pushes the value of the variable var onto the stack.
• Frame property access: clip.PropertyName.
  • Accesses a numeric frame property from the given clip.
  • If the property is missing, its value will be NaN.
  • If the property is not a numeric frame property, its value will be the first byte.
• Relative pixel access: clip[relX, relY]:[mode].
  • Accesses a pixel relative to the current coordinate (X, Y). relX and relY must be integer constants.
  • If no suffix is provided, the edge behavior is determined by the filter's boundary parameter.
    • :c: Forces clamped boundary.
    • :m: Forces mirrored boundary.
• Absolute pixel access: absX absY clip[]:[mode].
  • Accesses a pixel at an absolute coordinate. It pops absY then absX from the stack. These coordinates can be computed by expressions.
  • If the coordinates are not integers, they will be rounded half to even.
  • Example: X 2 / Y x[] reads the pixel at half the current X coordinate from the first clip, using the default clamp mode.
  • Boundary Suffixes:
    • :c: Forces clamped boundary.
    • :m: Forces mirrored boundary.
• Supports any number of input clips. srcN may be used to access the N-th input clip. Shorthand aliases x, y, z, a, b, c, etc. map to src0, src1, src2, src3, src4, src5, etc., up to w being src25. Beyond that, use srcN.

API

cranexpr.Expr(
  clips: vs.VideoNode | Sequence[vs.VideoNode],
  expr: str | list[str],
  format: int | None = None,
  boundary: Literal[0, 1] = 0,
) -> vs.VideoNode

• clips — Input video nodes.
• expr — Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) expression(s) for each plane. The expression given for the previous plane is used if the list contains fewer expressions than the input clip has planes. This means that a single expression will be applied to all planes by default.
• format — By default the output format is the same as the first input clip's format. This can be overridden by setting this parameter.
• boundary — Boundary mode. 0 for clamping, 1 for mirroring.

cranexpr.Select(
  clip_src: vs.VideoNode | Sequence[vs.VideoNode],
  prop_src: vs.VideoNode | Sequence[vs.VideoNode],
  expr: str | list[str],
) -> vs.VideoNode

• clip_src — Candidate clips. All must have the same format and dimensions.
• prop_src — Clips whose frame properties the expression may read.
• expr — Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) expression(s) for each plane. The expression given for the previous plane is used if the list contains fewer expressions than the input clip has planes. This means that a single expression will be applied to all planes by default.

Select evaluates a RPN expression once per frame (per plane) and uses the result as an index to pick a clip from clip_src to satisfy the current frame request. It is designed to replace many uses of std.FrameEval where you want to compute a metric from frame properties and then choose one of several clips to use.

For each output frame and each plane, the filter evaluates the plane's expression, rounds the result to the nearest integer, clamps it to the range [0, len(clip_src) - 1], then takes that plane from clip_src[index]'s frame n.

Select supports all operators supported by Expr except those that access pixel values (x/y/srcN as pixel values, relative pixel access like x[-1,0], absolute pixel access like x[], and the per-pixel coordinate variables X and Y).

Unlike Expr, where a non-existent frame property evaluates to NaN, Select uses 0.0 instead.
