replacing a set of frames with a static image

[grumpygamer]

I have looked here and there on the forum for such a thread but nothing relevant to my case came up.

I am using JDL's replacerange and imagesource

here's the script:
a=mpeg2source("D:\PIBA_134002\VIDEO_TS\ep7.d2v",info=3).bicubicresize(640,480).ConvertToYUY2().assumeFPS(25)
image = JDL_ImageSource("d:\animadelLAGO.tif",0,0,25).bicubicresize(640,480).ConvertToYUY2().assumeFPS(25)
JDL_ReplaceRange(a,image,0)
return a

which does not work, although it SHOULD replace frame 0 at least...
I had a TON of errors this doesnt match that doesn't match (framerate, videoformat, ecc...) so i used the code above to put both elements in line.

If anyone could help it would be really nice
thanks in advance

Don't have ConvertToYUY2, use ConvertToYV12.

Your catch with that is you're adding "return a" at the end, and a is the video source.

Use "Return(JDL_ReplaceRange(a,image,0))"

thank you, that was a great suggestion.

I now am faced with another problem:
I can't MOVE everything I change... BING! Error!

Here's my script once more

mpeg2source("D:\PIBA_134002\VIDEO_TS\ep7.d2v",info=3)
ConvertToYV12()
assumeFPS(29.970)

#tfm(d2v="D:\PIBA_134002\VIDEO_TS\ep7.d2v")
#tdecimate(mode=1)
#a.colormatrix(interlaced=true,hints=true)
#a.tfm(d2v="D:\PIBA_134002\VIDEO_TS\ep7.d2v")
#a.tdecimate(mode=1)
#a.crop( 8, 0, -12, 0)
#dehalo_alpha()
#awarpsharp(4.0)

image = JDL_ImageSource("d:\animadelLAGO.tif",0,0).ConvertToYV12().assumeFPS(29.970)
JDL_ReplaceRange(last,image,0)
return JDL_ReplaceRange(last,image,0)

it works but

1. it only replaces 1 frame... I need to replace a set, so do I have to create an array of the same image? If so how do I do that?

2. This is a telecined ntsc source so i wish to put it to 23.976 via tdecimate, but the fps will never match (Big question marks here)

How can i resolve this?

Edit: ok i fixed point 2 but still don't know how to replace many frames...
any suggestions?

[grumpygamer]

can i do something like this?

x = JDL_ReplaceRange(last,image,1)
y = JDL_ReplaceRange(x,image,2)
z = JDL_ReplaceRange(y,image,3)

return z

i have no idea on how to dynamically make frames out of my tiff image...

Actually, that one's easy, and is already in AviSynth. ;)

DuplicateFrame(clip, frames)


I've looked through what you're doing and it seems illogical. I think what you're far better off doing is something along the following:


#Your source video file
source=MPEG2Source("D:\PIBA_134002\VIDEO_TS\ep7.d2v",info=3).ConvertToYV12()

#Your image file
image=JDL_ImageSource("d:\animadelLAGO.tif",0,0).ConvertToYV12()

#Replace image for one part
replace=JDL_ReplaceRange(source,image,0)

#Duplicate your new replaced image
newsection=DuplicateFrame(replace,25)

Return(newsection)


If that doesn't give you what you're after, and from looking at that it's 50% there, check the AviSynth documentation, and add DeleteFrame on the section you want rid of.
