Stackhorizontal error

[zsuppguy]

Hello...

I'm using the following line on Avisynth (originally both videos are from the same Width, Height and format)

Stackhorizontal(ReduceBy2(AviSource("C:\test\v2.av i")),AviSource("C:\test\v2.avi"))

but i'm receiving a msg saying : "Stackhorizontal heights don't match"

is there anyway to this ?

the objective here is to have 2 videos, side by side and one with half size.

something like this :

 - - -    - - - - - - 
 |   |    |         |
 - - -    |         |
         - - - - - -

no - they have to be the same dimensions

one option would be to add blackborders to one so it matches the dimensions of the other
addborders()

thanks poisondeathray

would be possible pls provide an example ?
the original video has Width 368 and Height 208

[poisondeathray]

AddBorders(left,top,right,bottom)

Since you are reducing by 2 , you need to add 184, and 104 somewhere to the x and y dimensions

[zsuppguy]

both have the same dimension..

[AlanHK]

AVISource("v2.avi")
full=last

ReduceBy2()
AddBorders(0,0,width,height)
Stackhorizontal(last,full)

i've just realized that adding black borders for the first video, the second one will still have the same size....

the intention here is to have the first video small so the second video can be larger ....

is it possible this ?

[poisondeathray]

^ yes AlanHK's way is a nicer way of doing it

No , they will have the same dimensions, but the 1st will have black borders around it. The active area will be smaller

I hardcoded this example with values instead of variables, but just to illustrate what's going on. You can adjust where the black borders are, and you could crop away the left black border

colorbars()
lanczosresize(368,208)
a=last

colorbars()
lanczosresize(368,208)
reduceby2()
addborders(184,104,0,0)
b=last

Stackhorizontal(b,a)

No, because a video always has to be a rectangle. Not two rectangles.

My script works, try it.
You can make the colour of the borders white or any other colour if you prefer to the default black.


A variation: just to pad the bottom:

AVISource("v2.avi") 
full=last 

ReduceBy2() 
AddBorders(0,0,0,height) 
Stackhorizontal(last,full)

thanks poisondeathray and AlanHK for the example... i tried and it work pretty well .... but i made a mistake on my first post... there are v1.avi and v2.avi...both from the same size ...

v1 should be small (should be reduced 50%) ...
v2 should have its size plus the area freed by v1 ....

i'm sorry not being so clear since first post ....
I really appreciate your attention guys !
