AviSynth --where's my .exe?

[loninappleton]

Getting started with Avi Synth is hard enough. But now I just downloaded and let the install run and the only exe files I see in Win 7 is 'uninstall.' A search box attempt was no help.

Is there a setup instruction including dependent programs for this? Better yet how about step by step as in:

Download (a version) from a site (like Sourceforge) after you install dependencies in (such and such) directory.


My goal after not having used or tried to use AVI Synth in 8 years or so (VHS ripping) is to put a simple fade out on an mp4 which was cut clumsily.

This (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Getting_started) will get you started.

The same documentation in the link above is also in your 'puter's Avisynth program folder. In Windows go to "programs" or "All Programs" or "Apps", look for "Avisynh 2.5", and inside that program group you'll find "Avisynth documentation".

One little thing, though....
...(VHS ripping)... VHS isn't ripped. I think you mean "capturing". Rip has a different meaning.

@loninappleton:
Avisynth is a scripting language. You write the script in the text/code editor of your choice, save it as ".avs" file and open it in a program like VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/).
You might also want to have a look at a AvsP (http://www.avisynth.nl/users/qwerpoi/index.html) ("AvsP is essentially a text editor designed to help create AviSynth scripts").
