How to fade in/fade out with StaxRip

[galliano]

Hi,

I am new with StaxRip (V. 1.1.1.0) and am trying to figure out how to cut and fade out both video and audio at a certain point (e.g. eliminate all the final titles with an "elegant" fade-out). I understand that avisynth can fade (fadein/fadeout), but how can I feed StaxRip with this command and set the start and end points for the fadings in StaxRip? Anybody willing to guide me through this? ...I could not find any postings on the web with this subject

Many thanks in advance :)

Video AND audio is not possible, because StaxRip doesn’t process audio via AviSynth but via BeSweet. I guess you could trick you way through, but it won’t be convenient. Encoding frontends like StaxRip just aren’t designed for editing. You might be better of with Avidemux for example.

Hi Brother John,

Thanks for the reply. Absolutely right: I found out how to enter the filter parameters "fadeout (amount of frames)" and apply the filter in StaxRip, but as you say it works only for the video, not for the audio. Pity. As a workaround "avoiding" StaxRip: I am now cutting with DGIndex and then write a simple avisynth script:

LoadPlugin("...\DGDecode.dll")
video=MPEG2Source("myvob.d2v")
audio=WAVSource("myvob.wav")
AudioDub(video,audio)
Fadeout (100)

Feed it into virtualdub and it works: it fades out Video and Audio. Hmmm, I wonder if I can "alter" the *.avs file created by StraxRip before it starts the processing and just add the command "fadeout ()" at the last line...

Addition: no chance to alter the *.avs file generated by StaxRip because StaxRip overwrites it with the parameters you set short before starting the video encoding. So maybe a nice additional feature for future releases?

Look at the »Filters« list in the main windows. That’s StaxRip’s representation of the AVS script. If you want to edit it, do it there.

I wouldn't count on any future releases.

I tried like Brother John said, digited "fadeout (50)" under the crop filter paramete lines... still fading only the video. The only work-around is probably: wait until StaxRip finishes the encoding, then demux the audio fade out e.g. with "mp3 trimmer" and remux.
