My animated menu

[McQuaid]

Here is something I finished off a little while ago and just wanted to see what people think.

It's an animated menu for batman tas, that I created with avisynth.
I don't have anywhere to host it myself but I have it on a streamload acct.
removed acct thx sh0dan for the mirro

Very impressive!

You must be very glad for having Layer :)

Put it in a mirror (http://cultact-server.novi.dk/kpo/avisynth/animated_menu.mpeg). It seems you have only 40MB download left.

Thank you, couldn't have done it without layer, and imagesequence either. I remember reading imagesequence doesn't work in 2.5, has that been updated? Also dup post by accident, it said the server was busy when I first tried to post, so plz delete.

Very nice! How long did you fiddle around to achieve this result?

Nice! Could you post the script?

Yes, see Q3.4.

heh, yeah it took awhile playing around with it to get it right. This might have been a job better suited to something like premiere, but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to just drop in the next video sources and encode it.

At first it was just a still, then I decided to animate the thumbnails, then I wanted the number buttons to cover a bit of the thumbnail so I had to use masks, and then I thought since I learned masks might as well have some fun with the logo area. ;)

I'll post the script, let me just take some time to clean it up, as I was meaning to anyways, cause right now it's a mess, but it works.

The one problem I couldn't figure out was the audio. I couldn't get a peep out of avisynth when using layers/imagesequence. Can't recall if the problem started with trying to use audio with imagesequence or layers. The audio source was uncompressed pcm. In the end, I just pointed tmpgenc to the wav source, but would like to have gotten everything coming from the script.
