AVSCutter: Nonlinear editing from AVS to AVS

[DocB]

For editing AVS video streams I wrote the tool AVSCutter that accepts AVS commands to specify a video source. The source can be split into clips, the clips can be combined to a film. The final film will be exported as AVS script.
Maybe the tool is also helpful for others.
For documentation and download see: http://www.ecs.fh-osnabrueck.de/avscutter.html

Yes! Great man, I have been waiting for something like this to come out. I can't Program so I would have done it if I could. Thanks again man!

Interesting DV2AVSCutter.. Humm :)

But, I dont succeeded in making a to copy to glue on your utilitarian AVSCutter, it is normal or not.

[DocB]

Sorry guada 2, I do not understand your question.

DV2AVSCutter requires an AVI file recoded from a digital camcorder in DV format with embedded date and time information. It creates a project file suitable for AVSCutter with already defined video source and with defined clips based on the date and time information.
The project file must be loaded with AVSCutter.
Does this helps you?

Sorry for my english. :)

I would like to do a copy glue of a avs file (limitedsharpen) that I have in your software.
is it possible or not?

I still don't understand what you mean with "do a copy glue"!?:confused:

Do you want to apply "LimitedSharpen" on your source video stream? If yes, you really can do that.
E.g if you completely prepare your video source in an AVS file (which returns your filtered video stream), maybe "c:\myvideo\source.avs", you can import this file in the "AVS Source"-Tab of AVSCutter:
Import("c:\myvideo\source.avs")

Alternatively you may edit the AVS code that specifies the source video stream (which may be generated from DV2AVSCutter) in the "AVS Source"-Tab and apply arbitrary AviSynth-filters on the source. Before editing you must press the red button to unlock the source, which changes to green. When you finish editing you must re-lock the source by pressing the green button which then changes back to red. Be aware that you do not change the lenght of the source because this may influence the clips.

Furthermore you can apply filters on each Clip individually. Enter the filters in the "Additional AviSynth Functions" box at the bottom of the Clip window. The current clip can be accessed via the "last" variable.

Did I get it now? If not, please explain your question in more detail and give me an example about what you want to do.

[QUOTE=DocB]I still don't understand what you mean with "do a copy glue"!?:confused:

He's obviously using a translating program of some sort. The "glue" is being substituted for "paste". I believe he's asking a "copy and paste" question.

Is DV2AVSCutter available yet?

sorry DocB,

I believe he's asking a "copy and paste" question.
thanks dvdRENEGADE :)

I have a script avs: limitedsharpen.
I would like to "copy and paste" in your software.
But, it doesn't work. it is normal or not.

Bye.

Yes, see my website http://www.ecs.fh-osnabrueck.de/avscutter.html.

It works on my computer. The program is based on the FLTK toolkit which handles the clipboard. Sometimes I had problems doing "copy and past" from external programs after doing internal "copy and paste" inside the program. Try to start up AVSCutter and do the "copy and past" from your external program immediately after loading your project file.
I just checked the FLTK homepage (http://www.fltk.org/) and recognized that a new version of the toolkit exists. in the bug list I found a fixed bug in the newest version 1.1.7 that "Fl:: paste() would sometimes not recoginze external changes of the clipboard (STR #722)". I will try to compile AVSCutter with this new version and inform you when I am finished.
(Maybe I should add a feature to edit the AVS snips in a normal editor program in a further program version. This box-editing has some more limitations.)

Nevertheless I would not copy a whole script into an AVSCutter input box. It is better to place the script in a separate AVS file and then import this file with the import command, similar like this code snip for the "AVS Source"-Tab of AVSCutter:
Import("c:\my_avs_scripts\limitedsharpen.avs")
AVISource("c:\my_video_sources\this_source.avi");
LimitedSharpen(last)
If you are common with AVS you may generate a film (Menu: "Write AVS file") and inspect the resulting AVS file. You will find your code snips inserted in the film description. I expect that this will explain a lot.
Hope this will help you.

guada 2, I just put a new version 1.2 of AVSCutter on the net. The only difference to the previous version is that it is linked with FLTK 1.1.7. Does now "copy and paste" works?
If you paste into the "AVS Source"-box make sure that the button right below shows green color.

I added an example on the AVSCutter Website how to use V.C.Mohan's "TransAll"-plugin in AVSCutter via custom transitions.
