Normalize any mask type to match the format and range of the input clip.

Parameters:

  • mask

    (MaskLike) –

    The mask to normalize. Can be:

    • A VideoNode representing a precomputed mask.
    • A callable that takes (clip, ref) and returns a VideoNode.
    • An EdgeDetect or RidgeDetect instance or type.
    • A GeneralMask instance.
  • clip

    (VideoNode) –

    The clip to which the output mask will be normalized.

  • ref

    (VideoNode | None, default: None ) –

    A reference clip required by certain mask functions or classes.

  • ridge

    (bool, default: False ) –

    If True and mask is a RidgeDetect instance, generate a ridge mask instead of an edge mask. Defaults to False.

  • func

    (FuncExcept | None, default: None ) –

    Function returned for custom error handling. This should only be set by VS package developers.

  • **kwargs

    (Any, default: {} ) –

    Additional keyword arguments passed to the edge/ridge detection methods.

Raises:

  • CustomValueError

    If mask is a callable that requires a reference and ref is not provided.

Returns:

  • ConstantFormatVideoNode

    A mask with the same format as clip.

) -> ConstantFormatVideoNode

Replace an area of the frame with another clip using a simple square mask.

This is a convenience wrapper merging square masking and framerange replacing functionalities into one function, along with additional utilities such as blurring.

Parameters:

  • clipa

    (VideoNode) –

    Base clip to process.

  • clipb

    (VideoNode) –

    Clip to mask on top of clipa.

  • mask_params

    (tuple[int, int, int, int]) –

    Parameters passed to squaremask. Expects a tuple of (width, height, offset_x, offset_y).

  • ranges

    (FrameRangeN | FrameRangesN | None, default: None ) –

    Frameranges to replace with the masked clip. If None, replaces the entire clip. Default: None.

  • blur_sigma

    (int | float | None, default: None ) –

    Post-blurring of the mask to help hide hard edges. If you pass an int, a box_blur will be used. Passing a float will use a gauss_blur instead. Default: None.

  • invert

    (bool, default: False ) –

    Invert the mask. This means everything but the defined square will be masked. Default: False.

  • func

    (FuncExcept | None, default: None ) –

    Function returned for custom error handling. This should only be set by VS package developers. Default: squaremask.

  • show_mask

    (bool, default: False ) –

    Return the mask instead of the masked clip.

Returns:

  • ConstantFormatVideoNode

    Clip with a squaremask applied, and optionally set to specific frameranges.

Create a square used for simple masking.

This is a fast and simple mask that's useful for very rough and simple masking.

Parameters:

  • clip

    (VideoNode) –

    The clip to process.

  • width

    (int) –

    The width of the square. This must be less than clip.width - offset_x.

  • height

    (int) –

    The height of the square. This must be less than clip.height - offset_y.

  • offset_x

    (int) –

    The location of the square, offset from the left side of the frame.

  • offset_y

    (int) –

    The location of the square, offset from the top of the frame.

  • invert

    (bool, default: False ) –

    Invert the mask. This means everything but the defined square will be masked. Default: False.

  • force_gray

    (bool, default: True ) –

    Whether to force using GRAY format or clip format.

  • planes

    (Planes, default: None ) –

    Which planes to process.

  • func

    (FuncExcept | None, default: None ) –

    Function returned for custom error handling. This should only be set by VS package developers.

Returns:

  • ConstantFormatVideoNode

    A mask in the shape of a square.
