Big update to the script today. I was having a hard time accepting the residual grain left over after my script, as it seemed to be too coherent from frame to frame, making it look like you were watching through a cheesecloth. I was toying around with going back to the FFT3DFilter that I had used in the past, but my PC is so slow that it would have taken 2 weeks to encode and there was a reason I didn't want to use it in the first place (too much banding). I have found an equally great spatial filter that is way faster, and has less banding! So now the script does even more degraining.
Back to encoding...
