New program for automating AVISynth script creation

I have just finished implementing what I think Kalium was suggesting. Something resembling his 2 ideas have been done, that's for sure!

Anyone who has asked for the program has been sent a copy of the latest version: 1.35

I think the most significant thing I accomplished was to make joining scripts a bit easier. And no change to the script template is needed. If you have an AVISynth command template set to use <P> and <F> (path and filename), it can now create a line in the script that "joins" 2 or more clips. You do not need to change anything for multi-script/no join or multi-clip joins. The program counts the number of selected clips and adjusts the outout automatically. See the "Script template" section of the help file or "Using" dialog.

Huzzah!

Although the "Name of clip(s)" box doesn't seem to be needed, the rest of it works just fine!

Glad to hear it! I pulled an all nighter making the changes. (I've done the same on AMVs, but I suspect that's common.)

The "Name of clip(s):" box is a way to filter the clips, too. We here at CLR have a common capture folder. We use various naming tricks to isolate the captures of one person from another.

We may use initials or some string of chracters to easily identify and locate our clips. The "Name of..." helps us find them. You may find similar uses, just type some characters in and watch the "Clip(s):" box change.

If you think you may want to join several clips, a naming convention like that could isolate them quickly. Or if you work on more than on project and all your source clips are in the same place.

wow. Anything that allows me to increase my laziness is good in my book.
