  In VapourSynth the resizers have several functions. In addition to scaling, they also do colorspace conversions and conversions to and from the compat formats. Resize converts a clip of known or unknown format to another clip of known or unknown format, changing only the parameters specified by the user. The resize filters can handle varying size and format input clips and turn them into constant format clips.

  If you do not know which resizer to choose, then try Bicubic. It usually makes a good neutral default.

  Bob can be used as a rudimentary deinterlacer.

  Arguments denoted as type enum may be specified by numerical index (see ITU-T H.265 Annex E.3) or by name. Enums specified by name have their argument name suffixed with “_s”. For example, a destination matrix of BT 709 can be specified either with `matrix=1` or with `matrix_s="709"`.

  Note that matrix is not an optional argument when converting to YUV. Also note that if no matrix is specified in an input YUV frame’s properties then matrix_in also needs to be set.

  The function will return an error if the subsampling restrictions aren’t followed.

  If you get an error like:

      Resize error 3074: no path between colorspaces (2/2/2 => 1/1/1).
      May need to specify additional colorspace parameters.

  It usually means the matrix/transfer/primaries are unknown and you have to specify the input colorspace parameters yourself. Note: 2 means “unspecified” according to the ITU-T recommendation.

  Resizing is performed per-field for interlaced images, as indicated by the _FieldBased frame property. Source filters may sometimes mark progressive video as interlaced, which can result in sub-optimal resampling quality unless _FieldBased is cleared.

  clip:

  > Accepts all kinds of input.

  width, height:

  > Output image dimensions.

  filter:

  > Scaling method for deinterlacing. See resample_filter_uv for accepted values.

  tff:

  > Field order for deinterlacing. Used when the _FieldBased property is not set.

  format:

  > Output format id.

  matrix, transfer, primaries:

  > Output colorspace specification. If not provided, the corresponding attributes from the input clip will be selected, except for YCoCg and RGB color families, where the corresponding matrix is set by default.

  range:

  > Output pixel range. For integer formats, this allows selection of the legal code values. Even when set, out of range values (BTB/WTW) may be generated. If the input format is of a different color family, the default range is studio/limited for YUV and full-range for RGB.

  chromaloc:

  > Output chroma location. For subsampled formats, specifies the chroma location. If the input format is 4:4:4 or RGB and the output is subsampled, the default location is left-aligned, as per MPEG. Possible chroma locations (ITU-T H.265 Figure E.1): left, center, top_left, top, bottom_left, bottom

  matrix_in, transfer_in, primaries_in, range_in, chromaloc_in:

  > Input colorspace/format specification. If the corresponding frame property is set to a value other than unspecified, the frame property is used instead of this parameter. Default values are set for certain color families. See the equivalent output arguments for more information.

  filter_param_a, filter_param_b:

  > Parameters for the scaler used for RGB and Y-channel. For the bicubic filter, filter_param_a/b represent the “b” and “c” parameters. For the lanczos filter, filter_param_a represents the number of taps.

  resample_filter_uv:

  > Scaling method for UV channels. It defaults to the same as for the Y-channel. The following values can be used with resample_filter_uv: point, bilinear, bicubic, spline16, spline36, lanczos.

  filter_param_a_uv, filter_param_b_uv:

  > Parameters for the scaler used for UV channels.

  dither_type:

  > Dithering method. Dithering is used only for conversions resulting in an integer format. The following dithering methods are available: none, ordered, random, error_diffusion.

  cpu_type:

  > Only used for testing.

  src_left, src_top, src_width, src_height:

  > Used to select the source region of the input to use. Can also be used to shift the image. Defaults to the whole image.

  nominal_luminance:

  > Determines the physical brightness of the value 1.0. The unit is in cd/m^2.

  approximate_gamma:

  > Use LUT to evaluate transfer functions. Defaults to True.

  To convert to YV12:

      Bicubic(clip=clip, format=vs.YUV420P8, matrix_s="709")

  To resize and convert YUV with color information frame properties to planar RGB:

      Bicubic(clip=clip, width=1920, height=1080, format=vs.RGB24)

  To resize and convert YUV without color information frame properties to planar RGB:

      Bicubic(clip=clip, width=1920, height=1080, format=vs.RGB24, matrix_in_s="709")

  The following tables list values of selected colorspace enumerations and their abbreviated names. (Numerical value in parentheses.) For all possible values, see ITU-T H.265.
