I am so stuck! [How do I use AviSynth?]

[ChibiDreama]

Ok I have read the guide and it just goes over my head I totally dont understand at all

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... ogetb.html

Basicially Im at the Using the DVD2AVI Project: stage of the guide and trying to use Avisynth

HOW THE HELL DO I LOAD CLIPS TO EDIT?????? It has just gone totally over my head!
Also the Avisynth programme is in .dll format, how the hell do I open that?????

I have read about making a text command and all that but I dont understand it and where exactly do I run/use the command?Im guessing with Avisynth- but how the hell do I open that?

Thats the main problem once I can run/use Avisynth I can figure out the commands myself.

In DVD2AVI, "Open" --> "Add" --> select the first VOB --> DVD2AVI automatically adds the rest of the VOBs.

In AVISynth,

Code: Select all

MPEG2Source("C:\[path goes here]\myvideo.d2v")

Also the Avisynth programme is in .dll format, how the hell do I open that?????

<i>You don't "open" AVISynth like a normal program.</i>

AVISynth automatically kicks in when you try to open a .AVS file, doing all its work behind the scenes.

I have read about making a text command and all that but I dont understand it and where exactly do I run/use the command?

Open Notepad, type up your script, save it with an .AVS extension (being sure to change the file type to "All Files" instead of "Text Document"). You can then open this .AVS file like a normal .AVI in whatever program you're trying to use it in.

Thats the main problem once I can run/use Avisynth I can figure out the commands myself.

Thanks for the help! That makes things a little clearer!!

So once Ive done that, then I can just open and edit/create my amv in Premiere yes?

Thanks, as you can tell Im a complete and utter newbie when it comes to making AMV's

Assuming you've got the Premiere AVISynth import plugin, which can be found in the relevant sticky at the top of this board.

theres also an AVSEdit program that has all the functions in Avisynth neatly packaged with helpfiles and all. although its not perfect, it Makes editing scripts a little easier. get it off sourceforge at this link:
