vapoursynth errors

[IAAMM]

I am trying to make gifs but when I try to encode video I get this error. not sure if I'm missing a plugin or something.

Failed to evaluate the script:
Python exception: lsmas: failed to construct index.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Post your script

Possibly lsmash cannot read your source. What is your source ?

You can try another lsmash build , or another source filter such as ffms2

I just downloaded yesterday, but when you say source do you mean the video I am creating the gif from?

[poisondeathray]

when you say source do you mean the video I am creating the gif from?

rel_path = "video_cut/cut.mkv"

Yes - What is cut.mkv ? What type of video ? Use mediainfo (view=>text)

And is the directory correct ? Is the folder location called "video_cut" ?

[IAAMM]

ah, am I supposed to change that information? (the cut.mkv / directory / video_cut) that stuff was what I copy and pasted from the script.vpy document from the vapoursynth folder.

the video is an mp4 downloaded from YouTube using 4k video downloader.

[poisondeathray]

Yes, you need to enter the correct path and filename, otherwise it cannot find which video you're referring to

You probably want to change the script and filters; for example, a video downloaded from youtube will be progressive, so you wouldn't use QTGMC

[IAAMM]

ohhh, okay. Thank you so much!

[poisondeathray]

Until you decide what you want to do (how to process the video, which filters to use), I would comment out all those filter lines, or delete them. Those crop values are for a different video and chances are you're not going to use the same filters. They were just meant as an example script

#video = haf.QTGMC(video, Preset="Slower", TFF=True)

#video = core.fmtc.resample(video, css="444")
#video = descale.Debilinear(video, 272,483)

#video = core.knlm.KNLMeansCL(video, 0, 6, 4, 4.39, channels="YUV")

#video = fun.FineSharp(video, sstr=1.23)

#video = core.std.CropRel(video, left=38, top=62, right=66, bottom=121)
video.set_output()
