This list of GUI will be updated as long as i'll receive new links:

Gordian Knot (http://gordianknot.sourceforge.net/) -- dont need presentation, simple but only basic scripting options
AVSGenie (http://www.yeomanfamily.demon.co.uk/avsgenie/avsgenie.htm) -- you might need to be a genie and/or have lots of patience to play around with this one...
AviSynthEditor (http://www.lalternative.org/) -- didn't try it yet, but looks usefull
AutoDub and AutoRV9 (http://www.dark-angel.does.it/) -- this great one has the scripting options i'd like to see pushed a bit further
AviScript (http://www.aviscript.de/) -- interesting but not really a script editor i think
DVX (http://www.planetdvb.net/dvx) -- the script editor still under developpment, that's grrreat!
AVSTool (http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/avstool.htm) -- Limited tool...
SwiftAVS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynthesizer/) -- tool written in Visual Basic .NET. Uses many popular filters written by random people.
AVSGEN (http://home.debitel.net/user/holger.beetz/AVSGEN.htm) -- Updated on a regular basis.
DVD2OGM (http://dvdtoogm.divx-digest.com/) -- Nice tool with some filters options.


Original Message:

Have you ever dreamed of a simple GUI that would help you creating your avs scripts in a couple of clicks? yeah, me too. Have you ever made a cut&paste error while using old avs script wich kinda mess your video until you realize its too late cause you deleted the source? im sure it happened once...

Ok, i know Gordian Knot can create such script and it does the job very well, but how about a GUI for advanced features/filters such as C3D, Deen, separate field, kernaldeint for DV or DVD source (bff/tff), hum, and what else... maybe the filters that are mostly use for anime...

May look like, a place to link to the the dll, to the d2v, avi, or whatever video source file, maybe a preview window too.... plus lots of mostly used filters options. And why not a custom field for whatever filter you want to introduce in your script? maybe an option to deal with the filters order too? maybe an edit window like in GKnot, for those who want to add custom stuff and know what they're doing...

Is there any need for that or is it just me?
What do you guys think and anyone willing to code it?
Unfortunately, im not a coder at all cause i would create such a GUI. :p

This would be REALLY great and appreciated by lots of people im sure.. :D

@ RathO,

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but there are quite a few GUI's around now. However, no GUI is going to suit everyone. It all depends I guess on where the author is coming from. Put more features in and some will call it too complicated. Leave some out and others will find it under-powered. You have an interest in anime / dvd ripping. Others do not.

Besides, as AVISynth stands at the moment, it is not the easiest environment to produce a GUI for. It has so many built in functions, and the plugins are quite numerous, with ever changing versions and parameters. Keeping abreast of everything is very time-consuming.

Anyway, as I said at the top, there are a number of GUI's around. Try them and maybe one will do what you are looking for.

@ neily,

You are perfectly right dude, no GUI is going to suit everyone. :(
Oh well, i guess ill have to deal with whats on now.

@ all GUI lovers,

So my next contribution to this thread (si petite soit-elle!) would be to list some of them so it might help other folks like me who wish to deal with a more "suitable" GUI to their needs:

Maybe other users can provide some links to other AviSynth "editors" so we can compile a list :o

By the time, ill keep dreaming :cool:

I finally got around to learning the basics of using the avisynth.org Wiki system, and I had been planning to add a "Tools" page to avisynth.org this weekend, listing the various script-creation utilities. Of course, if you (or anyone else) would like to do it instead, please feel free. :)

I have little to no experience with any of them, so I'm probably not the best person to write anything about them anyway.

I wanted to write a guide but unfortunately realized wiki does not support images :mad:

btw: the last couple of days I was working on major improvements of the script editor in DVX. It is a complete rewrite and will add new features like code completion, dockable windows etc.

VirtualDubMod =)

Further idea: If RathO put the list into the first post this would make a good stiky (probably to be transferred to the User forum).

Is any editor out with the feature to mark a line
and preview current output (last variable) at this place?

Aren't the entries in the FAQ sufficient?

You have a point there, but a sticky is perhaps better for quick reference. Also the FAQ seems a bit out of date in this matter.

@Belgabor,

Is this the following out of date (I will add some of the links of RathO):

http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=Section+1%3A+About+AviSynth#q1.20

What's out of date about it?
Belgabor
4th September 2003, 12:22
Yes, thats it. With out of date I meant some GUIs that came up lately are missing.

DVX 3.5b has such a feature, just select a function including arguments to show up the parameter menu and press preview in the parameter menu, here are some screenshots about the new AviSynth script editor. You can open multible instances of the preview and keys and buttons for navigation in the preview affect all instances of the preview so comparing different settings is a little bit easier
