Topic: Recommened value for Artifact Masking

What's recommended for Artifact Masking setting?

The tooltip says "high value may reduce smoothness".

I tried with a video that had artifacts and with the setting set to "Average", it's watchable. But I'm not sure what the cost is for other videos that don't show artifacts, especially since the default is Disabled.

So, what's recommended? What are the quality costs of setting it higher?

Technical it is masking of bad areas of interpolated frames by areas from source frames. It makes less smoothness at these areas.
I use Disabled. I like it. It is because I'd like to see artifacts instead of lack of smoothness.

Re: Recommened value for Artifact Masking

Does it only affect areas that have artifacts, or affects the smoothness of all videos?

Does it only affect areas that have artifacts

Re: Recommened value for Artifact Masking

mmmm.... I just tried maximum artifact masking on a video that didn't really have artifacts on most of the video, and it SEVERELY affected the smoothness of the whole video. It looked like if SVP was disabled.

Re: Recommened value for Artifact Masking

You need to try between weak and average. I prefer weak
