frame_delay_pro2

Description

Applies an advanced analytical frame-delay effect that shifts image planes (luma/chroma) independently while applying temporal decay.
This creates ghost trails, chromatic drifts, smeared movement, and layered motion persistence that evolves across time.

Purpose

frame_delay_pro2 is for creators seeking:

How It Works

  1. Plane Selection (--plane)
    The effect can target:
    • luma only,
    • chroma channels only,
    • or all combined planes depending on implementation.
  2. Temporal Decay (--decay)
    The decay parameter controls how strongly old frames persist:
    • Higher decay → longer, more persistent trails
    • Lower decay → quick falloff and lighter ghosting
  3. Frame Buffering
    Past frames are stored and blended forward according to decay rules.
  4. Encoding
    Final output is encoded via global Videobeaux settings (codec, CRF, pixel format).
