AVANTI - FFmpeg/Avisynth GUI (support thread).

[Chris K]

More importantly, audio doesn't work again, so apparently mainconcept MPEG pro installed something that makes premiere see the audio in clips i converted with avanti. I wish i knew more about codecs etc.. Since the previous things didn't help with the audio, but mainconcept did, does that suggest why the audio isn't playing?

I can't be of much help with this but I would try to find out what causes MainConcept memory problem. It seems to install a plugin for Premiere? Maybe update CS3 to the latest available release?

[Robit]

I have the latest update for cs3, but yes, probably mainconcept installed a codec that makes premiere see the audio, i'll have to read up more on mainconcept, thanks for the link..

I have a MOV file that I want to edit in Premiere 5.5 without quality loss. I found instructions here for using AVANTI and a couple of other things.

However, when I follow those instructions, and press 'Start process' in AVANTI, nothing happens. What am I missing? Here's a screenshot of my AVANTI screen when I try to Start the process.

I really don't understand a lot of what I'm trying to do here - I know how to edit videos in Premiere, and I know I want to simply cut some parts out of this MOV and convert it to a FLV with minimal quality loss. This seemed to be a way to accomplish that, but already there's seeming roadblocks I don't have the experience to deal with.

[Chris K]

I have a MOV file that I want to edit in Premiere 5.5 without quality loss. I found instructions here for using AVANTI and a couple of other things.

I suppose you mean Premiere Pro CS 5.5 ? The instructions at the link are not applicable on your source format. MOV is a container and the instructions are for MPEG-2 content. Your screenshot of Avanti shows the MOV contains h264 video and aac audio. According to the following link, your Premiere version should be able to import your source without re-encoding or remuxing.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/2921094

You probably don't need Avanti at all but if you want to check out why it fails, load a template (e.g. Xvid) and try to convert a clip to see if it basically works. Your profile says Windows 7, is that the 32 or 64-bit version?

[Long Con]

Thanks - yes, I meant Premiere Pro 5.5, and my Windows is 64-bit.

[Chris K]

Avanti is a 32-bit (x86) application and for Windows 7 (x64) it seems that the OS expects 32-bit apps to run from a (arbitrary) folder at the "Program Files (x86)" directory. If you don't have it there, this could be the reason why Avanti fails to demux the clip.

But in your case I would try to find out more about importing h264/aac directly into Premiere.

[danversj]

I've been starting to use Avanti and am finding it quite useful. However, there are some command-line options that I find Avanti gets stuck with. I'd like to be able to put the following into the User Video Options:

-vfuser "pad = max( iw \, ih * (16/9) ) : ow / (16/9) : ( ow-iw ) / 2 : (oh-ih) / 2"

But I'm finding that the Avanti command-line parser doesn't like the comma "," inside the "max()" function. Ffmpeg escapes the comma with a backslash. Is there a way of escaping it in Avanti?

[Chris K]

But I'm finding that the Avanti command-line parser doesn't like the comma "," inside the "max()" function. Ffmpeg escapes the comma with a backslash. Is there a way of escaping it in Avanti?

Do you use the latest version 0.6.0. I just added escape support in that. See change log ...

https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avanti

Your command line works for me in version 0.6.0.

Thanks very much for your help, Chris!

I eventually just played the video and recorded it in Camtasia, and published it from there. I really wanted to make it work with Premiere, but the original video was just too crappy, I think. It was a 480 x 270 MOV file that, after importing successfully into Premiere (and playing all the way through on the Timeline), would just randomly drop parts, showing blackness where it had once played video. Trying to Export was lame too, it would become the red 'Media not available' screen in AME.

I'll just stick to using Premiere with good quality raw footage as the source. Much more palatable!

Whenever i check to use avisynth in the padding options or to use subtitles I get an error about not being able to find nvcuvid.dll. I don't have an Nvidia card. But i downloaded the dll and put it in the system folder. Then came an error about nvcuda.dll. So I downloaded and put that in the system folder. Then i get another error concerning the nvcuda.dll.
Is there anyway to use avisynth with avanti if i don't have nvidia? I want to add subtitles.

[Chris K]

Whenever i check to use avisynth in the padding options or to use subtitles I get an error about not being able to find nvcuvid.dll.

I'm not sure but it looks like you installed a experimental Avisynth version which uses CUDA?

I also don't have a video card that supports CUDA and use Avisynth 2.5.8 stable version. The one on top at the link below.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth%202.5/

I have no problems with that version and never been asked for the dll's you mention.

[pbrouty]

Thanks for your reply. I had installed the version of Avisynth you suggested, however I installed it over the previous version. So, I uninstalled Avisynth and reinstalled the 2.5.8 version again. Now it works! I guess I had, some time or other, installed the experimental version you mentioned. Thanks again.

[cobo]

When I load an .avs that uses audiodub in Avanti it pops up the message "ffm_avanti.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". Is there some way to make it work?

[Chris K]

That shouldn't happen and has probably to do with the FFmpeg version you use. "ffm_avanti.exe" is a copy of FFmpeg which means FFmpeg crashes on the Avisynth script.

Can you try the latest Sherpya build from here...

http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

Download FFmpeg and the faac dll (a bit down on the page) and copy them both to the Avanti\ffmpeg folder.

EDIT:

Does the script handles audio only? If this is the case, FFmpeg in general crashes on it but you can add the line "AssumeFPS(10,false)" directly after the source command to avoid this.

[cobo]

With that build I don't get the pop-up, but the process was still canceled by FFmpeg with these messages:

[mp4 @ 02045820] track 1: could not find tag, codec not currently supported in
... container

Metadata_Write:
... encoder : Lavf53.0.3

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?)

The video source is a .vob accessed through mpeg2source, audio is .ac3 through NicAC3audiosource.
The .avs plays without any problem in MPC-HC and VirtualDub.

This has nothing to do with the input but points to an error in the destination video or audio settings.

You probably try to encode with a audio or video codec that isn't supported in a mp4 container? Can you post your audio/video encoding settings.

[Chris K]

The video source is a .vob accessed through mpeg2source, audio is .ac3 through NicAC3audiosource.
The .avs plays without any problem in MPC-HC and VirtualDub.

Yes, but what are your audio/video codec settings for the destination in Avanti?

Note that Avisynth delivers uncompressed audio and video and that you cannot use "Copy Audio" and/or "Copy Video" in Avanti. You need to re-encode to the desired destination format.

[cobo]

Sorry - somehow I managed to switch aac(Lib) to WAV after downloading latest FFmpeg. Now the pop-up is back and this is the log:

[Chris K]

Do you use the older FFmpeg version again. The latest Sherpya is version N-31572-g5a16515
With that version you don't need to add "-strict experimental" because it uses libfaac.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/FFmpeg/

The one on top of the list.

[cobo]

Yes, I'm sure I have only the latest version in the "Avanti/ffmpeg" folder. I don't know why it's reporting the older version.

[Chris K]

Just to be sure, exit and restart Avanti. Or right-click on the "Start process" button and change the version from there.

EDIT:

You can rename FFmpeg versions and keep as many as you like in the avanti/ffmpeg folder.
Only requirement is that it starts with FFmpeg.

I always rename them as e.g. "ffmpeg_31572.exe" to keep track on the version I use.

[cobo]

Neither restarting or rebooting had any effect, but when I right-clicked on "Start process" I found it was using the ffmpeg from a different installation of Avanti on the other computer on my network - where the source files are.

FFmpeg still cancels the process, but without the pop-up

x264 bugs in FFmpeg again!? Indeed doesn't work for me too. It still works in Sherpya git-N-30172-g3c20c0e.

Can you post the Avisynth script so I can see how it act in my setup.

EDIT:

BTW; Which Avanti version do you use? The latest is 0.6.0.

[cobo]

It happens with even a simple script which has only a video source and audio source. I've tried with various scripts and sources the only common factor for failure being the use of audiodub.

Bare bones and full script versions both fail:

I can only run something basic using audiodub but then FFmpeg doesn't crash.

I used git-N-30172-g3c20c0e-Sherpya and Avisynth 2.60

video=DirectShowSource("F:/x-test_videos/dvd.mpeg", audio=False)
audio=DirectShowSource("G:/ac3 test/Broadway-5.1-48khz-448kbit.ac3")
audiodub(video,audio)

I know from experience that Avisynth (plugin) bugs can cause FFmpeg and even Avanti to crash. But I have no experience in using mpeg2source and NicAc3Source.

It's working now using the version of ffmpeg I started with, but I'm using the installations of Avanti and AVIsynth that are on the same computer as the source files instead of on a separate computer over a network connection. I thought I had tried it that way, but I geuss I was mistaken. I think another way that caused ffmpeg to fail was accessing the source file from a DVD, but I'm not sure about that now.

I'm sorry put you through all the bother of looking into it, but thanks for taking the trouble.

It's been a while but I remember I had problems with that too. Anyway nice it's solved.

Hello,

I am looking for a GUI for FFMPEG in order to convert any video to images sequence .TIF files
I don't find the way to do it with Avanti.
Is there a way to do it, or should I need to use command line interface ?

Many thanks.
