AviSynth questions

My problem:
I'm having 2 avi clips, 1of them has a lot of bad frames, which I want to remove/dublicate and then join the clips.

what I did:

c1=avisource("badframes.avi")
c2=avisource("inserted.avi")
c1.deleteframe(1234).duplicateframe(1233)
.
.
.
c1.deleteframe(4234).duplicateframe(4233)

clip=c1.trim(1000,4000)+c2+c1.trim(4200,10000)

return clip

When I preview this, all the dopped (deleted) frames are still in place.
When I omit the line (clip=c1...), and return c1 instead, all the bad frames are replaced with the previous one - as intended.

What an I doing here wrong?

BTW: I tried to do the clip= first and then then the delete...duplicate sequences, but to no avail!

Please help!

return clip

Hope it helps.

That was the trick.I had always thought, that applying a function to an objevt will return that object.But now it works as advertised.Thanx.
