Filters

Filters powered by AviSynth are a central component to StaxRip. Using filters requires some experience. The best way to get started is the AviSynth website and most importantly experimenting with the filters. Simply apply a filter and open the preview dialog to see what effect it has. Often the image quality can be improved much with filters. Many filter settings are detected automatically by StaxRip and later versions will support a even better detection. The filter menu in the main dialog shows all currently used filters and has a context menu that provides a rich feature set. StaxRip provides many filter profiles with reasonable default values. Furthermore custom profiles can be created. There are two profile systems, one for the complete filter set and one for the currently selected filter. Filters can be reordered with Drag & Drop and be checked/unchecked to control which filters are actually gonna be used.

Using filter profiles

Right-click on a filter, in the context menu all filters of the same category are available for easy selection. 'Replace', 'Insert' and 'Add' opens a menu to select a filter to either replace the selected filter, insert a new filter at the selection or to add a filter at the end. Filters can be reordered with Drag & Drop and be checked/unchecked to control which filters are actually gonna be used.

Creating filter profiles

  1. Right-click the filter list and choose Profiles from the context menu.
  2. Select a filter category or create a new category by clicking on [+].
  3. On the right side click on Filters (Collection).
  4. Click on the button of the Filters property to manage the filters of the selected category.
  5. Create a new filter by clicking on [+] or select a filter and clone it using Copy and Paste in the dropdown button.
  6. Edit the filter properties and confirm the Filters and Categories dialog.
  7. Back in the main dialog right-click on a filter in the Filter list. A context menu pops up showing all filters of the filter's category to choose from.
