Creating black space.

[angelx03]

All right. I need to make a 2 second black space of my AMV for an upcoming con this month. My script is this:

Code: Select all

#ASYNTHER AVISource
AVISource("E:\Strawberry Panic AMV02\Twilight Kiss huffybeta001.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
TomsMoComp(1,5,1)
Deen("w3d",3,3,5) 
TemporalCleaner()
#vmToon()
LimitedSharpenFaster(strength=200)
Tweak(sat=1.1)
Trim(0,3685)
LanczosResize(720,480)
video=last
leader=BlankClip(60,720,480,"YV12",29970,0000,00000,true,true,000000)
leader++video++leader
ConvertToRGB24()

Because the huffyuv video didn't have audio in it, I decided to put 0's in their respective arguments. Problem is that it keeps on popping an error on Line 14 saying that the framerates don't match. And I am absolutely certain that my video has a framerate of 29.97 fps and following Scintilla's guide in order to get the 2 second black clip, I should put 2 * 30 = 60.

Any ideas what's wrong?

And I just figured it just now:

leader=BlankClip(60,720,480,"YV12",29970,1000,00000,true,true,000000)

Never mind!

could have also just done:

Code: Select all

leader = blackness(video, color=$000000, length=60)

It'll copy all the clip properties of "video" so all you have to do is specify the length and color.

it came from the blackness

*yes im still alive*

couldnt you just put a black jpg in the timeline and just stretch it to accomidate the length then append that to the final encode?

Yes, but it's no faster; plus, the BlankClip() method doesn't require you to use up more hard drive space by encoding another video file.
