please need help with AviSynth.

[zamy212]

Hi all, I've always used "VirtualDub and Sony Vegas Pro" but I just realized a program called AviSynth and does a good job with the video editing, I am very interested in learning how to manage that program, so I record why forum is very good and they offer help.
Well my problem is with the installation of the recommended programs and seen that more programs, but it and installed and intendado around and seen guides but nothing, I want a tutorial on how to install it properly and use it in the best way.
If you want you can please help me with screenshots.
Thank you very much for reading this, waiting for your help.

I just typed "avisynth tutorial" into my search engine. Got over 29000 results. Tried that?

It's not a noob program, so if you want a noob's guide I think you'll be out of luck. But give it a try.

The download of Avisynth has its own installer: http://www.m2ts.org/util/avisynth . The installer will create a program group in your Start-> Programs folder, where you can find a link to its online help.

I wouldn't be in a great rush. It takes a long time (a very long time) to learn to use it. Avisynth not a graphics interface "program" like those you're accustomed to. It's "executed" by creating scripts in text files that are run, usually in VirtualDub. There are a few websites that are more comprehensive guides and more specific, but be prepared for a learning curve. Here is a web page of filter samples for various problems, and the same site has many more pages. The site deals with anime, but the filters and methods can be used with any kind of video: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech31/post-qual.html

The animemusicvideos.org link and its associated pages will take a week or so to digest, before you even get started. So you might want to think about it first. But many in this forum use it on a regular basis. However, just "editing" is only touching the surface.

Just to make sure you got it installed properly, create a new text file. Maybe name it 'Version.txt'. Open it and put just one line:

Version

Then save it and rename it as an AVS file. That is, change 'Version.txt' to 'Version.avs'. Then open the AVS in Virtual Dub just as you would any video file (File->Open Video File).

You should then see a rectangle with your version of AviSynth and the date it was created.

I think the best tutorials are found in the three documents included in the DGMPGDec package. If you work with DVDs you'll need it anyway.

If installed correctly?


Thank you very much for your help

That picture tells us nothing about whether or not you got it installed. Follow my instructions from my earlier post.

I mean the plugins, if properly installed.
thanks for replying

[manono]

Usually you keep the plugins (the DLLs) in the plugins directory, and nothing else.

I can spend your MSN please?
so we can talk better.
mine is reyberalexis@hotmail.com

[sanlyn]

In the image posted, the only files that you would need in the "plugins" folder are the three .dll's and the "colors_rgb" file. The other files shown are not Avisynth plugins.

The full name of the "colors_rgb" file is colors_rgb.avsi. Avisynth automatically loads "avsi" code whenever a script is run. In fact, "avsi" files are Avisynth scripts. It belongs in the plugins folder, so leave it there.

[zamy212]

I'm trying to open this project goes by another name and I get error.

[manono]

I can spend your MSN please?

No. I don't use it.

[sanlyn]

The script you have posted is not the same script referenced in the message.

[zamy212]

I still have the same problem when I open it in virtualdub

[jagabo]

Remove colors_rgb.avsi from the plugins folder. It's just a bunch of shortcut names for RGB hex values. Then see if you can run your script.

and remove it but it keeps saying the same thing, : (
anyone know how to remove this error?

[sanlyn]

Interesting. You still haven't posted the script that's giving the error.

A photo image of your script is a waste of time. You can copy the text of your script and paste it into the Reply section of your post.

[zamy212]

--------------------

[poisondeathray]

It can't say the same thing if you 've removed it

Check that you've removed it, close vdub, reopen vdub, reopen the .avs script, then post the new error message

[sanlyn]

Thanks for posting the script. I have a question:
The script you posted refers to this video file, opened with DirectShowSource:
("D:\Michael Jackson\Videos\Bad Worl Tour [1987 & 1989]\1988, February 24 - Kansas City, USA\Another Part Of Me - Kansas 88 (second night) - HQ.mpg", fps=25)

The video file referred to in the error message is a different video file, opened with AviSource:
"D:\Michael Jackson\Videos\Bad Worl Tour [1987 & 1989]\1998, May 23 - Rome, Italy\sample\smooth.avi"

Why are these file names different? What script is being read by the error message? What else did you change in the script besides the file name and open command?

Does anyone suspect that some of the characters and long path+file names might be giving Avisynth a problem?

I used this script

but when opened in VirtualDub I get different name and error.



will be an installation problem or what happens?
add me to MSN reyberalexis@hotmail.com so we can tarent name and error.

[sanlyn]

I see what you are saying. You are getting an error message from an earlier script. Are you certain you are trying a new script rather than the old script? Do you have two scripts that have exactly the same name, but in different locations on your hard drive?

I suspect that you have not attempted to run the simple "version" test script that manono suggested earlier in post #5.

Try "Version" and appears the same error.




I do not know what happens, the problem is in the AviSynth or VirtualDub.
Try opening VirtualDubMod and see the error I have.

Look at the error when I try to open VirtualDubMod

[sanlyn]

I'd have to say that you might have a problem with all three applications. If you have run the Avisynth installer more than once without first removing the early version, that can cause problems as well. The same would be true with VirtualDub and Mod.

VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod have an uninstaller inside their main folder. The name of the file is auxsetup.exe. Run that file and tell it to remove your settings. There is no real unstaller for VirtuaqlDub, but auxsetup.exe can remove some registry settings. Then, delete the VirtualDub folder and the VirtualDubMod folder. To reinstall, unzip the original downloads, but install them into a new folder on a different drive. I see you have a "D" drive. re-install them on your other drive instead of the original "C" drive; the actual drive doesn't not matter.

You can do the same with Avisynth, but it has an uninstaller in Control Panel. If you reinstall it, install to a different drive.

Vy the way, if you have Windows 7 install the 32-bit versions of these programs. There are 64-bit version available, but many of their filters don't have 64-bit versions.

[zamy212]

and try in every way possible, I give vensido and seen it is a very powerful edits, I will continue with VD and sony vegas, thank you very much to all who helped in this post

[smartel]
