A simple plugin that calculates weighted average of multiple frames.
Average(clip1, weight1, clip2, weight2, clip3, weight3, ...)
The usage is identical to the old Average plugin or RedAverage. Output pixel value is calculated as
out[x] = clip1[x] * weight1 clip2[x] * weight2 clip3[x] * weight3...
The filter performs faster when all weight in the call are less or equal to one. This filter should be faster than the old Average and more stable (alas slower) than RedAverage.
VS2019: use IDE
Windows GCC (mingw installed by msys2): from the 'build' folder under project root:
del ..\CMakeCache.txt cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DENABLE_INTEL_SIMD:bool=on @rem test: cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DENABLE_INTEL_SIMD:bool=off cmake --build . --config Release
Linux from the 'build' folder under project root: ENABLE_INTEL_SIMD is automatically off for non x86 arhitectures

v0.95 (20211008)
- add AVX2 routines
- accept parameter as a nested array stuffed into the first parameter (AVS 3.7.1)
- pass over frame properties if any (Avisynth interface v8 check)
- Source: update to VS2019, clang-cl option, gcc and linux friendly
- add CMake build environment, linux build instructions
- Make it compilable for non-Intel processors (C only)
v0.94 (20170127)
Fix: fix the fix: rounding of intermediate results was ok for two clips
New: AVX for 10-16bit ( 20-30%) and float ( 50-60%) compared to v0.93
AVX for 8 bit non-integer path ( 20% gain), e.g. when one of the weights is over 1.0
Note 1: AVX needs 32 byte frame alignment (Avisynth default)
Note 2: AVX CPU flag is reported by recent Avisynth version
Note 3: AVX is reported only on approriate OS (from Windows 7 SP1 on)
v0.93 (20170126 - pinterf)
Fix: rounding of intermediate results in fast integer average of 8 bit clips
Mod: faster results for two or three clips
New: Support for Avisynth color spaces: 10-16 bit and float YUV(A)/Planar RGB(A), RGB48 and RGB64
10 bits are calculated in float precision internally.
New: auto register as NICE_FILTER for Avisynth
New: add version resource
Info: built with VS2015 Update 3, may require Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable update 3
v0.92 (20131227 - tp7)
This release fixes a very important memory leak which made the plugin unusable for somewhat complex scripts.
v0.91 (20131224 - tp7)
Double performance when absolute values of all weights are smaller or equal to one.
v0.90 (20131221 - tp7)
Initial release.
