How to get a video into another video?

[xMike]

Hi,

I usually come to this forum when I need help with megui or anything avisynth related, so I thought I'd better sign up here for my own question now:
Is it possible to get two videos encoded into one? (picture in picture like here).

my current script is just like

dss2("FILE", fps=25)
QTGMC(preset="slow")

What else would I need to put below in order to get one video into the top right of another video? (both to be deinterlaced as well)

Please let me know! Cheers

Assuming FILE2 is a smaller video:

v1= dss2("FILE1", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow")
v2 =dss2("FILE2", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow") # resize here if necessary
Overlay(v1,v2, x=v1.width-v2.width)

Thanks for the quick answer! Using this script gives me the error "script error: expected a , or )" in line 3 colounm 24.

Overlay(v1,v2, x=v1.1080,x=v2.320)

I added a "," and a ")" in this line but it still gave me that error. How do I correct this?

You made a transcription error. Or you made an error when you changed the line.

Overlay(v1,v2, x=v1.1080,x=v2.320)

This line makes no sense at all. The original line was:

Overlay(v1,v2, x=v1.width-v2.width)

Maybe this will make it clearer:

Overlay(v1, v2, x = (v1.width) - (v2.width))

Ie, the x position is set to the width of the background image (v1.width) minus the width of the foreground image (v2.width). So if the background image is 1080 pixels wide, and the foreground image is 320 pixels wide, the x position of the overlay is 1080-320, or 760. The y position defaults to 0.

Hi,

I was about to give it up, because I didn't want to ask again but then I noticed how stupid I was so I got that now. Is there a way to set a timeframe for the second video to get in? Like after 3 minutes and 54 seconds for example. Either by time or frame

edit: the current script is like this

v1= dss2("File1", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow")

v2 =dss2("File2", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow").spline36resize(364,21 4).crop(8,0,-0,-0)

Overlay(v1,v2, x=1600)

Use Trim() to split the background into two parts, overlay onto the second part, then join the two parts together. Note that 2 minutes and 54 seconds is 234 seconds, frame number 5850 for a 25 fps video (234 x 25).

v1= dss2("File1", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow")

v2 =dss2("File2", fps=25).QTGMC(preset="slow").spline36resize(364,21 4).crop(8,0,-0,-0)

v1a = v1.Trim(0,5849)
v1b = v1.Trim(5850,0).Overlay(v2, x=1600) 

v1a++v1b
