Adding blank code

[LantisEscudo]

Code: Select all

padding=BlankClip(video, 24)

creates a 24-frame black, silent video will all the same properties as the clip called "video" (resolution, frame rate, etc.) and stores it in a variable called "padding". Everything on that line after the # is a comment and can be ignored.

Code: Select all

padding++video++padding

takes the video chunk called padding, immediately adds the video chunk called video, and then adds the chunk called padding again, so in this case the output would be 24 frames of black, followed by the video, then 24 more frames of black.

Gah, I'm shutting up now. I got some bad info from somebody about the arguments for this apparently.
I guess it doesn't help that it's not actually something I would ever use either...

thanks for clearing that up, but it seem to work now thanks!

Well, I guess I'm posting this late, but I usually make a file named Blank.avs that looks like this:

Code: Select all

video = BlankClip(length=30, width=768, height=432, fps=30, color=$000000)
audio = BlankClip(video, audio_rate=44100, stereo=true, sixteen_bit=true)
AudioDub(video, audio)

then append together in another file that looks like this:

Code: Select all

avisource("Blank.avs")+avisource("AMV.avi")

yes I know it could be done in one .avs file, but this way seems more intuitive to me since it looks like you are actually adding two files together.
