SelectEvery

SelectEvery returns a clip with only some of the frames in every step_size selected. SelectEvery is a generalization of filters like SelectEven and Pulldown.

Syntax and Parameters

SelectEvery (clip, int step_size, int offset1 [, int offset2 [, ...]])
clip

Source clip.

step_size

The number of frames in the pattern.

offset

The offset(s) into the step to select a frame. If omitted it defaults to 0.

Examples

Return even numbered frames, starting with 0:

SelectEvery(clip, 2, 0) # identical to SelectEven(clip)

Return odd numbered frames, starting with 1:

SelectEvery(clip, 2, 1) # identical to SelectOdd(clip)

Select frames 3, 6, 7, 13, 16, 17, ... from source clip:

SelectEvery(clip, 10, 3, 6, 7)

Select frames 0, 9, 18, ... from source clip:

SelectEvery(clip, 9, 0)

Fixed pattern 1 in 5 decimation, first frame in every step_size removed:

SelectEvery(clip, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4)

Duplicate every fourth frame:

SelectEvery(clip, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3)

Take a 24fps progressive input clip and apply 3:2 pulldown, yielding a 30fps interlaced output clip:
