avisynth editing - how to do a cross cut?

[smok3]

| video 1       | video 2         |
| audio 1            |
            | audio 2              |

1.what would be the easiest way to do a cross-cut of audio as above?
2.same question, but with fadeout of audio1 and fadein of audio2?

Hi smok3,

you could do something like this:

clip1= avisource("clip1.avi")
clip2= avisource("clip2.avi")
editingvideo= clip1.trim(x.y) + clip2.trim(x.y)
editingaudio= clip1.trim(x.y) + clip2.trim(x.y)
AudioDub(editingvideo, editingaudio)

smok3,

Part 2....

| video 1       | video 2         |
| audio 1            |
            | audio 2             |
0           a   b    c            e

Assuming clip1 video ends at frame "b" and audio ends at frame "c". Clip2 audio starts at frame "a" and video starts at frame "b", both end frame "e".

clip1= avisource("clip1.avi").ShowFrameNumber()
clip2= avisource("clip2.avi").ShowFrameNumber()
editvideo= clip1.trim(0, b) + clip2.trim(b+1, e)
editaudio= Dissolve(clip1.trim(0, c), clip2.trim(a, e), c-a)
AudioDub(editvideo, editaudio)
StackVertical(editaudio)

Use the ShowFrameNumber() and StackVertical() to get the positioning exactly right, Use of Dissolve() can get confusing

tnx hanfrunz and IanB, ill try all this soon. (i didnt even know there is .ShowFrameNumber() option, i guess iam kinda lost on that avisynth wiki, 3. is there another good resource for avs scripting?)

there is always more behind the curtain:
4. is there a way to read timecode from dv stream (like .ShowTimeCode())
