newbie question - selective application of filters

[rpm77]

I'm currently in the post-production phase of my amv, and after applying several filters using the aviSynth script editor in VirtualDubMod, the video looks great...except for one tiny section that was actually made worse.

So I was wondering, is there a way to apply filters to all of a video *except* one spot in the middle?

Help appreciated.

clip a = trim(0,the frame # that start the clip you want to exclude).filter
cilp b = trim(frame # that starts your excluded section, frame # that ends your excluded section)
clip c = trim( frame # that ends your excluded section, last frame #).filter
return a+b+c

so let's say you want to use the following chain on every frame except frames 10-20 (your video is 30 frames long):
deen("a3d",3,3,3)
undot()
vmtoon()

your script would end up looking like

Code: Select all

clip a = trim(0,10).deen("a3d",3,3,3).undot().vmtoon()
clip b = trim(10,20)
clip c = trim(20,30).deen("a3d",3,3,3).undot().vmtoon()
return a+b+c

if you need to keep a/v sync you should use "++" instead of "+"

I've never done this myself, so it's possible that I messed the script up somewhere

Thank you for responding so quickly. I tried the code, and I get an error message stating "I don't understand what 'clip' means."

tried it out myself, remove "clip" and it'l work
