help with avs script (dv to mpeg2) Fading in/out

[ZiGGY909]

hi there

just captured my holiday footage! it's about 13gb

I'm gonna use VDub to chop it up into sections and indivual files, then use avisynth with cce to join them all and convert to mpeg2.

how do I use the join script for avs?
and how do I use the fade-in & fade-out command on each video?

thanks

See the AviSynth pages.
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Fade
Joining is done with clip1+clip2+clip3
Something along the lines of:

clip1=avisource("file1.avi")
clip2=avisource("file2.avi")
clip3=fadeout(clip1,25) + fadein(clip2,25)
return clip3

would join file1.avi and file2.avi and fade out and in (to/from black) between them.

Since you're going to use AviSynth anyway, why bother chopping it up in Vdub and making a bunch of interim files? You can just as easily Trim() "virtual" chunks in AviSynth, apply filters as desired and join them in any order you please without the need for the extra hard drive space.
