Heh. Doing the tut was cool - I hope this will demystifies avisynth for you.
AvsP is a great program to get into the basics and you see an instant result in the preview and tracking along the timeline. So it is fun and only half theory there.
Thanks very much. I had just recently started to work with AviSynth and didn't worked on PostProcessing yet so a simple first access to this is very much welcome :) Thanks !
if anyone interested in AviSynth with Vegas, the trick is to use VFAPI to "convert" the avisynth script into an avi file that trick Vegas into believing it's an avi file. The down side being that everytime you update your avs script, you need to generate a new avi file with VFAPI. I've tried that in my recent projects and it works. :)
I vidded with avisynth-files for almost two years and I still gathered most of this information just over the last three months. I tried to include the most useful and common solutions for problems here.
I truly hope this is helpful and I’m happy you thought it was a simple first access, because I had mostly vidders in mind, who didn’t work with avisynth till now or were afraid to use it. The scripts can be intimidating at first, especially if they don’t work because you forgot a comma or such minor mistake.
I'm in the computer science so scripts aren't intimadating to me ;) but what every option and code means as a result is a bit confusing at first, especially when you don't see an immediate result in your vid. So it's cool to have access to a few options you can try out and a script example and then you can go on and find more precise info once you get much more confortable with it :)
Yeah, this is one reason why I fell in love with AsvP - it’s preview. You see the script, the actual picture and therefore the changes when you press F5. In addition to the sidebars which make tweaking around so much easier. Instead of slowly increase your effect you can just slide along with it and stop at the point you want to get to. And also browse through the timeline to see if the effect looks good on different scenes.
I think with that program people aren’t just copy & paste this script and instead work it to their own preferences and change stuff quickly to their liking or get rid off the effects they don’t need or want. Because it is so easy compared to when I started out and had to start up my media player to actually see a tweak.
Hah. Perfect timing for you, Mary, what more can I ask for. Have fun tweaking around with it and I hope this will still make sense once you actually open AvsP. But I’m confident. And of course you’re welcome, I aim to please.
thanks for posting this. :) I've been playing around with avs scriptings for awhile but never could quite figure out if I really need it and how best to use it.
Playing is the best approach to avisynth, you will learn the most and get comfortable with the scripts in no time. And I would say, that post-processing in avisynth will always add to a vid, even if it’s such a minor change in contrast and saturation. It will look better and the denoiser improve the picture quality in my opinion immensely.
I have noticed the quality of your vids but never could figure out what it was you were doing. :) Will have to experiment with my next vid and try this stuff out. You're right the more you play with the scripting the easier it gets.
today I did a lot of reading about filters and plugins and saved links. :)
With this tutorial most of my secrets are out of the closet - I have to get back in my dungeon to figure out new ways to improve the quality further. Heh.
And a big fat yes to the playful approach. If you just let yourself run loose for a few hours, you’ll understand the basics and what each function does in a way that doesn’t drive you up the wall. Opposite to trying to puzzle something specific out and not getting the expected result, which is just frustrating and you’re tempted to never open another script again. Especially if you start out with avisynth. That happened to me four years ago and I didn't touch the program for the following two years. Seems ridiculous in retrospect.

It'll take me a while to absorb all this, but thank you!
