AviSynth script error on meGUI

[vancew90]

Hello, I'm currently trying to input a watermark on my video along with hard-coding some subtitles to my .mp4 video. However, I keep encountering this problem as shown in the image attached below when I click "Preview AVS Script".

I have absolutely no problem viewing the video before and after attaching the subtitles, but when I edited the script to input the watermark, the error keeps popping up.



I have tried installing:

i) http://www.avisynth.nl/users/warpenterprises/ (remapframes_25_dll_20050826 and imagesequence_20101115 )
ii) https://www.videohelp.com/tools/ffdshow
iii) https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Haali-Media-Splitter

Below is my script:

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")

#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\imagesequence_20101115\ImageSequence.dll")
a1=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT (720p).mp4")
a2=ImageReader("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp")
a3=ImageReader("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp", pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a3)

Would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me if there is a particular plugin/software/script that can rectify this error, thank you in advance!

ImageReader() should come default with avisynth install

Try replacing it with ImageSource()

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")

#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\imagesequence_20101115\ImageSequence.dll")
a1=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT (720p).mp4")
a2=ImageSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp")
a3=ImageSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp", pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a3)

If there is alpha channel (transparency) in the bmp logo, and it's not a black/white logo, you need to use showalpha()

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")

#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

#LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\imagesequence_20101115\ImageSequence.dll")
a1=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT (720p).mp4")
a2=ImageSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp", pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a2.showalpha())

I've tried ImageSource, ImageReader and ImageSequence but to no avail... Thank you anyway, really appreciate it!

Copy & paste the 2nd version of the script above. Post any error messages verbatim

I've tried copying that and also trying the 3 variations (ImageSource, ImageReader, ImageSequence) but the same error still persists

It's not possible or you're not reporting what is happening correctly - Does the error message change? For example, if you call ImageSource() it won't give you an error regarding ImageSequence() . It will say something about ImageSource()




Since FFMS2 is working, you can replace with FFVideoSource() for a single image logo as a workaround until you fix your setup. This won't load an image sequence.

This assumes that your logo is RGBA (transparent)

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")

a1=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT (720p).mp4")
a2=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a2.showalpha())

Or, you probably need to install avisynth. I think some versions of megui have a "portable" avisynth install or something like that it might cause problems

Yes, the error varies according to the codes that I have tried.

I've tried replacing my previous version of avisynth (2.5.8) with the latest one (2.6.0) but I still get the same message...

And yes, my image file is transparent.




Alternatively, I've tried the newest code that you had given me:

But instead, this error pops up:

[poisondeathray]

Erase the "pixel_type" . Re-read/ copy the post again. You probably copy/pasted it before I made a quick eit

Oh yes, it worked like a charm! Thank you so much! But one more thing: This is my current code:

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x86 \tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")

#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

#LoadPlugin("C:\Users\user\Downloads\MeGUI_2507_x8 6\tools\imagesequence_20101115\ImageSequence.dll")
TextSub("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT.ass", 1)
a1=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\150127 T-ARA @ THESHOW INTERVIEW CUT (720p).mp4")
a2=FFVideoSource("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp ")
Overlay(a1,a2,mask=a2.showalpha())

How do I add in a line to include the subtitles that I had attached earlier?



Despite this, the subtitles don't show up when I click "Preview AVS Script" because there isn't a line in the script that inputs the subtitles right? I've tried TextSub() but it says "There is no function named TextSub."

[poisondeathray]

You need to load vsfilter.dll for TextSub()

LoadPlugin("PATH\vsfilter.dll")

Where "PATH" is the actual directory path




These observations suggest that you have other problems with your avisynth configuration. Do you have avisynth installed on the system? Or is it a "portable" megui version ?

[vancew90]

Oh my god, it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for helping a tech idiot.

Yes, I do have avisynth installed in my system through here, the meGUI that I'm using is most probably portable I downloaded the .zip file from here and merely unzipped before using it directly.

Thank you so much though! Really appreciate it

[poisondeathray]

Yes, but it's just a temporary workaround. FFVideoSource won't load an image sequence. eg. So if you had an animated logo image sequence you could only load the 1st frame.

It should bother you that things aren't working as they should be (This might indicate that there could be other problems...)




I can't explain the ImageSource() problem. Was everything downloaded the 32bit versions ?

[vancew90]

I downloaded everything in 64 bit versions since my system is running on 64 bit. Seems like it's more advisable to use the 32bit versions?

[poisondeathray]

For avisynth, the 32bit versions are more stable and have more plugins available

64bit megui will work fine with 32bit avisynth, since it will "bridge" the pipe to 64bit x264

[vancew90]

Alright, I'll replace my avisynth with the 32bit version, thank you so much for your help, ya! Really appreciate it.

There's an option in MeGUI's settings "always use the included Avisynth". If it's checked it'll be using the portable version of AVIsynth+ regardless of the Avisynth version you have installed.

Avisynth+ doesn't have all the built in functions of the standard Avisynth, but the plugins giving it some/all of the missing abilities are buried in MeGUI's tools folder. For ImageReader, I think you'd need to load ImageSeq.dll.
For me (XP) that'd look something like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\avs\plugins\ImageSeq.dll")
ImageReader("C:\Users\user\Documents\logo.bmp")

I assume if you switch to the installed version of Avisynth by unchecking the option I mentioned earlier, you won't need to load ImageSeq.dll, although I think the portable version of Avisynth and MeGUI tend to play together a little more nicely.
If you do switch to the installed Avisynth, you'll probably need to update devil.dll for importing animations as explained here. The newer devil.dll (I assume it's the same one) can be found in the "MeGUI\tools\avs" folder (if you're using the portable Avisynth+, you don't need to worry about it).

You're great!
I couldn't do it for 3 days.
I took care of the information you gave me.
Thank you so much
Let me write my own code for example;

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI-2896-32\tools\avs\plugins\ImageSeq.dll")

LoadPlugin("F:\Ozgur\Programlar\MeGUI-2896-32\tools\avisynth_plugin\VSFilter.dll")

a1=DirectShowSource("F:\Mic.mp4", fps=30.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(30,1)
a2=ImageReader("F:\LOGO2.png")
a3=ImageReader("F:\LOGO2.png", pixel_type="RGB32").ShowAlpha(pixel_type="RGB32")
Overlay(a1, a2, mask=a3)
TextSub("F:\Mic.srt", 1)
ConvertToYV12()
