Special Video Editor

[pitaridis]

I am looking for software with which I will be able to combine 2 videos in
order to create a new video which will consist of the 2 selected videos in
such a way that the left side of the first video and the right side of the
second video will be mixed.

What format are your video files?

It does not matter because I can convert them. I just want to find an application which will be capable to do it. It will be good to support AVI format because this is the format that I use with my videos.

Thank you for your reply.

Isn't it possible using avisynth? ANy avisynth specialists here?

This script does exactly that for DV source. I use it for comparison when doing restoration of old footage.

# Simple script to do side by side comparison of two clips
# Handy when doing restoration work to see a quick comparison
# of the original clip and the restoration work
#
# Recommend that the original clip be loaded via a small
# script that also contains matching trim and colourspace conversion
# to ensure a match up. Colourspace conversion has been deliberately omitted
# from this script to reduce needless conversions
#
# This version is designed for DV based restoration work
# and will work for anything with a 720 width.

# Load clips/scripts

Orig_Clip=AviSource("cox2 audio.avs").KillAudio
Rest_Clip=AviSource("cox2 clean.avs").KillAudio

# Crop clips for comparison. Clips are cropped to create
# a single complete frame

Orig_Clip_Crop=Crop(Orig_Clip,0,0,360,0)
Rest_Clip_Crop=Crop(Rest_Clip,360,0,0,0)

# Stack the two halves together to finish up

StackHorizontal(Orig_Clip_Crop,Rest_Clip_Crop)

How can I run this script?

Copy it into Notepad and save it with the extention .avs. Install avisynth, then open the avs file in virtualdub or media player classic.

You will have to change it to reference your videos first.
