Filters sequence

[mhs]

Hi, could anyone answer this easy question?

What is the right sequence when applying the following filters: deinterlace, cropping, noise reduction, brightness/contrast and smoother.

First filter should be deinterlace (I think this is important).

Other than that there are no fixed rules.

I think it a good idear to do chopping last (but this will also be slower)

Also when using noise reduction/smoothers the last one used should be temporal smoother/cleaner.

Agreeably Deinterlace should be applied first (Just try to do your cropping & resizing first before deinterlace, and you'll see what I mean). After that, it is pretty much a free choice.

What I would usually do is this: Smart Deinterlace -> Cropping -> Resizing -> other filters, like smoother. Any subtitle input filter can be put as the last one too, I believe.
