X265 Best Settings for Anime?

Hi, regarding anime and color there are more competent people here then me but you should upload the full log file because there is more involved then x265, have a look in my signature.

sao must really help for anime like high value for deblocking. Code:

From my personal tests with low motion anime, I have found these settings to help: Code:

This is what I use, and it works for me. pmode:rd=4:tu-intra-depth=3:rdoq-level=2:early-skip:b-intra:limit-modes:aq-mode=2:qg-size=16:ipratio=1.38:pbratio=1.28:me=3:max-merge=3:weightb:bframes=6:rc-lookahead=50:ref=6:psy-rdoq=1.38:no-sao it might not be the best of the best, but it does a great job to my eyes.

This modded build of x265 () has 2 anime presets build in + a high and low bitrate variant. My personal experience is that rd-refine helps alot, but it is also slow...

Hm... I basically used the above setting but... my character here had a pretty bad hair day afterwards... What can I do? More bitrate the only solution? Yes, the hair moves a lot in this scene. Settings: 1) (BluRay) 2) --crf 23 --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --limit-tu 4 --tu-intra-depth 4 --tu-inter-depth 4 --tskip --tskip-fast --aq-mode 3 --no-open-gop 3) --crf 25 --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --limit-tu 4 --tu-intra-depth 4 --tu-inter-depth 4 --tskip --tskip-fast --aq-mode 3 --no-open-gop Code:

You also tried with --preset slower or veryslow ?

Veryslow didn't help really. :-/ I had some success with no_cutree though. Still the result is not really great. "My settings": --crf 24 --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --limit-tu 4 --tu-intra-depth 4 --tu-inter-depth 4 --tskip --tskip-fast --aq-mode 3 --no-open-gop
