I've read through everything there is in that guide about avisynth and have done everything that's supposed to make it work, yet I still get the black screen with the avs file...

post your project settings, video properties (gspot is better than windows for telling you stuff about video/audio files) and post your script
you can use the code tags

Code: Select all

[code]put text in here

[/code] to make it easier to spot/read

also post system specs (just in case that's part of the problem)

Try changing from "AviSource" to "DirectShowSource"

Thanks.

Also, how do you do the effect when a couple frames flash in the video for a quick second? A lot of good amvs have this effect, but I can't see how to do it.

I just use opacity/transparency and keyframes.

Is that how you'd also do the transition where it becomes increasingly brighter until it practically white and then goes to the next scene?

That works, but you could also use the "additive Dissolve" transition.
