What is it?
A non-linear interface to AVISynth. Originally designed for use with making music videos.

This is a work in progress. It is functional, however.

Requirements
Visual Basic 6 Run-Times. http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/install/6/win98me/en-us/vbrun60.exe
AVISynth. Not tested with versions before 2.5.
If your computer can run AVISynth and VirtualDub(Mod) then you shouldn't have problems with this.
Updated drivers couldn't hurt.


Quick Start
Choose a list of videos from the directory on the left to use in a project.
Use loaded clips to make Tabs. Each tab is a piece of video that can be arranged on the timeline.
You can create more than one tab from a single clip.


Empty frames are filled with BlankClip at Output. Previewing simply shows no change in video.
There are 8 layers to arrange Tabs. Each layer down is overlayed "On Top" of the previous.
Each layer can be disabled for selective output and previewing.


Save and open project files.
Have more than one project open at a time.
Export your project to an AVS file.


Load a wav file for a soundtrack.
Automatically extends timeline for length of audio.


Preview Clips. Preview Tabs(with trimming).
Preview the out put of your video by holding the mouse down over the bar above the timeline. Including audio (drag to hear).
Trim the output of your video by using the Crop tool on that bar.
No need to recalculate the number of frames to position a clip, simply use the move tool and place it where you want.


Known Issues:
Switching the project window size from max to windowed will not allow previewing. Resizing with the corner of the window should fix this.

Long AVS files will crash VirtualDub or WMPlayer. I don't know if it is a limit in AVISynth, I only know that my comp runs out of memory.
This can be worked around by cutting pieces from the original AVS output into different files.
I have the outputs commented with markers of every 1000 frames or so. A couple minutes of notepad will do the trick.


Let me know what you think.
Repaired Long Filename issue (i.e. Runtime 13)

I've been fantasizing about just such a program. Perhaps this will be the start of something wonderful? I will give it a whirl once the attachment is approved!

Interesting program. However, when I try to load a video file, it always says Run time error 13, type mismatch.

Now supports long filenames. Should eliminate the Run time 13. At least in most cases.
