Avisynth for Beginners

This video will eliminate your fear of Avisynth and easily teach you to write your first script!

This entire video was created with free programs. The same effects could literally cost you thousands with other software. With Avisynth you can upload better looking/sounding movies as MP4 video with MP3 sound, green screen, and convert almost any file to an AVI - all without spending a dime. It pays to learn Avisynth! More lessons will follow.

Note that I do these videos in my free time, and some weeks I have more of it than others. Here is a fantastic site to get you started: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/index.html

Stuff mentioned in this video:

hallo, could you may help me? i got a problem with the installing - the avisyth.dll could´t be wrote - what does that mean .dll and what do i have to do?

( sorry for my real bad english :/ it´s not my native language...)

@LOLig135 Perhaps try a slightly different build, and be sure to have administrative privileges. Beyond that, I really don't know!

Hi i wonder if u could help me im using windows 7 ... i recorded a vid using my webcam and saved it as an AVI movie . then if i understand u i click on the movie and under file on the left i click on new and in that window i have an option avisynth script, do i click this or new text doc..

[DerekForPresident]

@rodenddo You can create either, (Notepad does the same) just be sure when you do save it's named like: YourFile.avs

Ah, the thing is even if an image is just one frame, AviSynth leaves the last frame up. Solution: just put a blank image after like:

Image=ImageSource("image.png",­pixel_type="rgb32")

Image=Image++BlankClip(Image)

Also, Overlay just plops another clip on top, probably filling the whole screen without transparency. Layer allows for transparency (with RGB32) so:

Video=Video.ConvertToRGB32()

Overlay(Video,Image)

You may want to just get a video editor, it's way easier. :)

@DerekForPresident ignore the - in the imagesource line; it's a typo.

@mRcellFizH Thanks

[mRcellFizH]

@CJFRANKS7 yes, but you have to use directshowsource instead of avisource, but before that you have to install a good codec pack, like k-lite mega codec pack, the line should be:

a=directshowsource("filepath/v­ideo.mp4/ts/avi/etcetera")

[mRcellFizH]

@Username93611 you have to use megui

Continual disappointment to me that I can't find anyone explaining how to use avisynth to affect sources that are contained in mkv (or just simply aren't divx/xvid, but are h264 or something else.) This is a really nice tutorial, but VirtualDubMod only works for xvid in avi! What's the point of knowing how to use avisynth to improve the quality of video if you can't encode in high quality using x264?

[CJFRANKS7]

So this wont work if the video is filmed in anyother format that isn't avi? :(

[kingtyler366]

All I want to do is take two videos I took of a game and put one on top of the other (vertically). What would an example script look like? Also, I have no idea what virtualmoddub is because I use a program called veedub64. What's the difference? Thanks.

[rogerdpack]

isn't virtualdubmod abandoned?
