in_range: ColorRangeLike | None = None,
out_range: ColorRangeLike | None = None,
in_sample_type: SampleType | None = None,
out_sample_type: SampleType | None = None,
) -> bool
Automatically determines whether dithering is needed for a given depth/range/sample type conversion.
If an input range is specified, an output range should be specified, otherwise it assumes a range conversion.
For an explanation of when dithering is needed:
- Dithering is NEVER needed if the conversion results in a float sample type.
- Dithering is ALWAYS needed for a range conversion (i.e. full to limited or vice-versa).
- Dithering is ALWAYS needed to convert a float sample type to an integer sample type.
- Dithering is needed when upsampling full range content except when one depth is a multiple of the other, when the upsampling is a simple integer multiplication, e.g. for 8 -> 16: (0-255) * 257 -> (0-65535).
- Dithering is needed when downsampling limited or full range.
Dithering is theoretically needed when converting from an integer depth greater than 10 to half float, despite the higher bit depth, but zimg's internal resampler currently does not dither for float output.
Parameters:
-
(in_bits_or_fmt¶int | VideoFormatLike | HoldsVideoFormat) –Input bitdepth, clip, frame or video format.
-
(out_bits_or_fmt¶int | VideoFormatLike | HoldsVideoFormat) –Output bitdepth, clip, frame or video format.
-
(in_range¶ColorRangeLike | None, default:None) –Input color range.
-
(out_range¶ColorRangeLike | None, default:None) –Output color range.
-
(in_sample_type¶SampleType | None, default:None) –Input sample type.
-
(out_sample_type¶SampleType | None, default:None) –Output sample type.
Returns:
-
bool–Whether the clip should be dithered.

depth ¶

sample_type: int | SampleType | None = None,
*,
range_in: ColorRangeLike | None = None,
range_out: ColorRangeLike | None = None,
dither_type: str | DitherType = AUTO,
) -> VideoNode
A convenience bitdepth conversion function using only internal plugins if possible.
This uses exclusively internal plugins except for specific dither_types. To check whether your DitherType uses fmtc, use DitherType.is_fmtc.
Example
rc_8 = vs.core.std.BlankClip(format=vs.YUV420P8)
rc_10 = depth(src_8, 10)
print(rc_10.format.name) # YUV420P10
rc2_10 = vs.core.std.BlankClip(format=vs.RGB30)
rc2_8 = depth(src2_10, 8, dither_type=Dither.RANDOM) # override default dither behavior
print(rc2_8.format.name) # RGB24
Parameters:
-
(clip¶VideoNode) –Input clip.
-
(bitdepth¶VideoFormatLike | HoldsVideoFormat | int | None, default:None) –Desired bitdepth of the output clip.
-
(sample_type¶int | SampleType | None, default:None) –Desired sample type of output clip. Allows overriding default float/integer behavior.
-
(range_in¶ColorRangeLike | None, default:None) –Input pixel range (defaults to input
clip's range). -
(range_out¶ColorRangeLike | None, default:None) –Output pixel range (defaults to input
clip's range). -
(dither_type¶str | DitherType, default:AUTO) –Dithering algorithm. Allows overriding default dithering behavior. See DitherType.
When integer output is desired but the conversion may produce fractional values, defaults to VOID.
In other cases, defaults to no dither.
See DitherType.should_dither for more information.
Returns:
-
VideoNode–Converted clip with desired bit depth and sample type.
ColorFamilywill be same as input.

stack_clips ¶
Recursively stack clips in alternating directions: horizontal → vertical → horizontal → ...
This function takes a nested sequence of clips (or lists of clips) and stacks them alternately along the horizontal and vertical axes at each nesting level.
Examples:
-
Stack a list of clips horizontally:
from vstools import core, split, vs clip = core.std.BlankClip(format=vs.RGB24) clips = split(clip) stacked = stack_clips(clips) -
Stack a list of clips vertically (wrap in another list):
from vstools import core, split, vs clip = core.std.BlankClip(format=vs.RGB24) clips = split(clip) stacked = stack_clips([clips]) -
Stack the Y plane horizontally with the U and V planes stacked vertically:
from vstools import core, split, vs clip = core.std.BlankClip(format=vs.YUV420P8) y, u, v = split(clip) stacked = stack_clips([y, [u, v]]) -
Stack multiple YUV clips, with Y planes horizontally and UV planes vertically:
from vstools import core, split, vs yuv_clips = [...] # all must share format and height clips = [] for yuv_clip in yuv_clips: y, *uv = split(yuv_clip) clips.extend([y, uv]) stacked = stack_clips(clips) -
Using
appendinstead ofextend(and wrapping the sequence, e.g.stack_clips([clips])) changes the stacking layout, since it alters the nesting depth.
Parameters:
Returns:
-
