Add translucent white color bars in Avisynth?

[lordsmurf]

I've been doing this in Premiere for years, but it's honestly tiring. I think it can be done easier in Avisynth.

What I need is this:

A vertical white translucent bar that
- can have the translucence % raised or lowered easily
- can have feathered edges

The goal is overscan ghosting removal.

I can remove most ghosting, but that part is always annoying.
I hate firing up Premiere, and creating masks in Photoshop. It takes too long.

Something for this function probably already exists (add translucent bars), or comes close (no feathering), but I'm just not seeing it.

Little help? :thanks:

Have a close look on these functions:

blankclip()
overlay()
blur()

Create your own function mybar(x,width, blur) or similar and reuse it if you need it.
