overlap video frames

Hi,

I need to know how to easily overlap video frames in to 1 frame for a movie! I'm a making a movie with my friend

Thanks
Joe

Your question doesn't make sense. You need to elaborate.

Do you want to overlap each clip by one frame, or compress all the frames into a single frame ?

I want to overlap each clip by one frame

I'm not sure I understand either. You want to take a video clip, and overlay it on the same video clip, but just shifted over by one frame, so the result looks kind of blended/blurry? Something like this, where the letters stand for frames laid on top of each other:

ABCDEFG
BCDEFGH

Anyway, if you want something similar, then I think that AviSynth's Overlay command can help. One script will do what I just described:

A=MPEG2Source("C:\Path\To\Video.d2v")
B=MPEG2Source("C:\Path\To\Video.d2v").Trim(1,0)
Overlay(A,B,Opacity=0.5)

I was just testing with a DVD source. You can also use an AVI source:
