Revision as of 12:25, 4 April 2009

quick link to old guide
quick link to wiki editing
Anchors


Snow's new AviSynth guide. Yeah, I hope I actually finish this.


Ideas for layout

  • Custom table of contents, not so linear.
  • Use PNG! Lossless is cool.
  • Color headings.

Ideas for guide

  • No more follow-these-steps-blindly instructions this time. Learn or gtfo.
  • Include more pictures.. haha this page is going to be like 50 megs (or more?).
  • Maybe separate the guide into multiple pages (see above). Also, won't seem so overwhelming.
  • At the start of each section, show a typical script in progress.
  • Include exercises with downloadable packages containing a video and a partial script.


Stuff to do:

  • Introduction
  • Installation
  • Setting up a work environment.
  • Loading the plugins
  • Loading the source files
  • Fixing Constant audio desync
  • Fixing Progressive audio desync
  • Appending
  • Deinterlacing
  • Trimming
  • Resizing
  • Sharpening
  • Cropping / Adding borders
  • Color / Brightness
  • SDA StatID
  • QuickTime compatibility
  • Sample scripts
  • Script verification


Table of contents:

  1. Introduction
  2. Installation
  3. Setting up a work environment



 Introduction

IMPORTANT NOTE: AviSynth scripting is an advanced topic. All beginners are recommended to use Anri-chan instead.

Blah blah blah.



 Installation

Download and install a stable release version of AviSynth

The picture below identifes a stable release.
AviSynth download.png


Download and install necessary AviSynth plugins

Go to Start menu -> [All] Programs -> AviSynth -> Plugin Directory. This will open the directory where AviSynth stores its plugins. Copy the files from inside the AviSynth plugins zip file to the Avisynth plugins directory window you just opened. Note that you can't copy the directory you unzipped in; you have to copy the files inside the directory you unzipped into the AviSynth plugins directory. This is because AviSynth won't recognize the plugins if they are inside a directory inside the AviSynth plugins directory.

Maybe insert picture showing plugins directory.


Download and install VirtualDub

This program will be useful for testing your script as you go along.


Move to a troubleshooting section? - If AviSynth complains that the MSVCR71.dll file is missing, you can download it at http://www.dll-files.com/. Place it in your "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\" directory.



 Setting up a work environment

open Windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes".

Personal tools
