IMPORTANT UPDATE! May 12 13, 2026



Tomorrow Today Last Wednesday, on the 13th of May, the manual Patrons group (the one that gives you your green username AND access to dedicated Patrons spaces on WSL) will be has been DELETED.

This means that your access to those spaces will be has been revoked until you connect your Patreon account to WSL using the link below, which will give you access to the NEW, future-proof Patrons+++ group.

With the imminent release of ZEPPO BETA 2 - tentatively planned for released Friday today yesterday (!!) - I wouldn't dawdle... with Beta 2 (i.e. all my late nights in the past month), Zeppo has become something truly special, battle-tested and multi-user hardened in an actual production.

Yes, there will be a Reactor release eventually, and no, it won't have all the bells and whistles - those are for Patrons, because they are the ones keeping WSL afloat, which is still only barely these days...

I'd better get back to prepping that done did release then!

Thank you,

Pieter


[RC] ReGrain 2.0

Where the future is being made, today.

Welcome to the WSL development corner!

In this forum, please post your development projects. You get kudos and feedback here.
Topics ideally have preset prefixes, and this is what they (might) mean:

  • [DEV] - very much work in progress, don't build a business on this, could go anywhere
  • [BETA] - should kinda do what it's supposed to do, please test, give feedback
  • [RC] - this may end up in Reactor soon, polishing up, now's the time for last minute thoughts
  • [ABD] - died a premature death, sadness, will not see the light of day ever (unless someone picks up the scraps)

Once a development project has been released (hurray), topics can be marked as - you guessed it - [RELEASED] :cheer:

Development topics only, please. For generic questions, how-to's, questions and inquiries about existing tools etc, please go to the appropriate other forums.

Getting odd results when the input to be regrained has no alpha.

Have put this tool through some seriously tricky regrain scenarios with 90%+ success rates - and I have one (1) request left - a response curve. I think we'd be as close to perfection as it gets.

Love the speed of this too, given its flexibility - really, really great!

Sorry , but looking at this now and I have a few questions /observations.
At the moment I am trying it with Anamorphic 4K footage and the patch based "Noise Scatter" option doesn't give anything like the expected results. The grain I get is smaller, spherical and not strong enough. I had assumed that the Grain Sample patch would get that cloned area and spray that over the frame so the grain would have the same size/ aspect/ depth/ blur characteristics but this does not seem to be the case. So how is it working under the hood?
Just an observation also , the Grain Look Color Mix control when turned up to 1 seems to give the same result as Disabling the Noise Scatter option...
Also the Luma Mix control doesn't appear to do anything.

Hey! Yes. Those are all limitations I’m aware of. The issue is the scattering method. BUT. I have something coming that possibly will solve all that in a (hopefully) easier to use macro!
Cheers!
