Adding PNG file to start and middle of clip (AvsPmod)

[BlockABoots]

I want to add a png file to the start of my video clips and then another png in the middle of the clip. this is what i have atm..

video=AVISource("E:\CAPTURES\My Records\CCAM\Mega Turrican (Standard).avi") + AVISource("E:\CAPTURES\My Records\CCAM\Mega Turrican (CCAM).avi")
video1=ImageReader("C:\MT orig.png", start=0, end=1000, fps=24, use_DevIL=true)
video2=Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
return video1


but, all i get to a black image for 1000 frames and nothing else. How do i get the png file to be displayed and select when to have it appear in the video clip?

Below, made some assumptions on what you require, description is ambiguous.
Untested.

LEN=100 # len of Image clip
V1=AVISource("D:\avs\TEST.AVI").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V2=AVISource("D:\avs\TEST.AVI").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V3=ImageReader("D:\avs\a.png", start=0, end=LEN-1, fps=V1.FrameRate, use_DevIL=true)
V3=V3.ConvertToYV12() # whatever V1 & V2 are
V4=V1.BlankClip(length=LEN) # Silent Audio same as clip V1 but same len as image clip V3
V3=V3.AudioDub(V4) # image clip of LEN frames, same framerate as V1, with silent audio as V1

return V3 ++ V1 ++ V3 ++ V2



EDIT: Edited, Tested and Working, insert your own filenames.

Ok this is what i have...

# len of Image clip
V1=AVISource("E:\CAPTURES\My Records\CCAM\Mega Turrican (Standard).avi").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V2=AVISource("E:\CAPTURES\My Records\CCAM\Mega Turrican (CCAM).avi").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V3=ImageReader("C:\MT orig.png", start=0, end=0, fps=V1.FrameRate, use_DevIL=true).Loop(times=LEN,start=0,end=0)
V3=V3.ConvertToYV12() # V1 & V2 are
V4=V1.BlankClip(length=LEN) # Audio same as clip V1 but same len of image clip V3
V3=V3.AudioDub(V4)

return V3 ++ V1 ++ V3 ++ V2

when i try the file in virtualdub i get the message,

Avisynth open failure:
Splice: Frame Size Dont Match
("E:\CAPTURES\My Records\CCAM\Preview.avs, Line 9)

Then make them the same size, I have no idea what size they each are.

OK, try this

LEN=100 # len of Image clip
V1=AVISource("D:\avs\TEST.AVI").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V2=AVISource("D:\avs\TEST.AVI").Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
V3=ImageReader("D:\avs\a.png", start=0, end=LEN-1, fps=V1.FrameRate, use_DevIL=true)
V3=V3.ConvertToYV12() # whatever V1 & V2 are
V4=V1.BlankClip(length=LEN) # Silent Audio same as clip V1 but same len as image clip V3
V3=V3.AudioDub(V4) # image clip of LEN frames, same framerate as V1, with silent audio as V1


# Assuming V1 has required size
V2=V2.Spline36Resize(V1.Width,V1.Height)
V3=V3.Spline36Resize(V1.Width,V1.Height)

return V3 ++ V1 ++ V3 ++ V2

V3=ImageReader("D:\avs\a.png", start=0, end=0, fps=V1.FrameRate, use_DevIL=true).Loop(times=LEN,start=0,end=0)
You don't need to use Loop(), since ImageReader knows when it is dealing with a single file and caches the image internally rather than reading it again for each frame.
V3=ImageReader("D:\avs\a.png", start=0, end=LEN-1, fps=V1.FrameRate, use_DevIL=true)

Ah yes, from docs:-


# Read a single image, repeat 300 times
ImageSource("static.png", end = 300, use_DevIL=true)
# Much, much faster in v2.56


Thanx big G.
