How to combine these 2 scripts?

[lpn1160]

Each one of these scripts work independently, however when I try to put the 2 together I get an error message "Invalid argument to function animate"
Here is script 1 (works Fine)
blankclip(610,704,480,"yuy2",23.976,color=$1E90FF)
Animate(0,150,"subtitle","CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,510,0,150,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,10,0,150,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(151,300,"subtitle","EDITED BY...LARRY",170,510,151,300,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"EDITED BY...LARRY",170,10,151,300,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(301,450,"subtitle","ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,510,301,450,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,10,301,450,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(451,600,"subtitle","ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,510,451,600,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,10,451,600,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
#script 2 (working)

#I tried combining them like so (throws an exception as stated above)

dnr2()
simpleresize(704,480)
unalignedsplice(v1,v2)

I'm sure I must be missing some thing very simple.
Any insight is very much appreciated

Something similar happened to me recently and it drove me nuts until I figured out my goof. In the combined scripts, you've set the output from blankclip() to a variable called "v1." You need to specify "v1" as the input to the Animate filters, as in "v1.Animate(...)" Same with "v2" later. Hope that helps.

At least two mistakes:

First one is that you must change the second line and the line after AviSource:


v1=blankclip(610,704,480,"yuy2",23.976,color=$1E90FF)
v1.Animate(0,150,"subtitle","CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,510,0,150,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,10,0,150,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(151,300,"subtitle","EDITED BY...LARRY",170,510,151,300,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"EDITED BY...LARRY",170,10,151,300,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(301,450,"subtitle","ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,510,301,450,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,10,301,450,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(451,600,"subtitle","ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,510,451,600,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,10,451,600,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
v2=AVISource("E:\captures\godzilla.avi")
v2.Telecide(order=0,post=2)#guide=1
Decimate(MODE=3)
TWEAK(SAT=0)
Trim(120,15499)+Trim(19376,29529)+Trim(34829,48310)+Trim(52164,69074)+Trim(72933,93175)+Trim(98464,111880)+Trim(117166,128776)
dnr2()
simpleresize(704,480)
unalignedsplice(v1,v2)

Mistake two is that the script returns v1+v2 instead of the filtered clips. So try something like:

v1=blankclip(610,704,480,"yuy2",23.976,color=$1E90FF)
v1.Animate(0,150,"subtitle","CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,510,0,150,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,10,0,150,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(151,300,"subtitle","EDITED BY...LARRY",170,510,151,300,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"EDITED BY...LARRY",170,10,151,300,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(301,450,"subtitle","ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,510,301,450,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,10,301,450,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
final1 = last.Animate(451,600,"subtitle","ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,510,451,600,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,10,451,600,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)

v2=AVISource("E:\captures\godzilla.avi")
v2.Telecide(order=0,post=2)#guide=1
Decimate(MODE=3)
Tweak(SAT=0)
Trim(120,15499)+Trim(19376,29529)+Trim(34829,48310)+Trim(52164,69074)+Trim(72933,93175)+Trim(98464,111880)+Trim(117166,128776)
dnr2()
final2 = last.simpleresize(704,480)

final1 + final2

Wilbert, first and foremost thanks to answering my post, 2nd your script worked fine, except for another "dumb" mistake by me, (1 clip has audio the other (blank) doesn't. So I fixed it by inserting a blank .wav file the same length as the blank clip (25.442 sec)
so the final script reads as follows:


v1=audiodub(blankclip(610,704,480,"yuy2",23.976,color=$1E90FF), wavsource("E:\captures\Untitled.wav"))
v1.Animate(0,150,"subtitle","CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,510,0,150,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"CAPTURED BY...LARRY",150,10,0,150,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(151,300,"subtitle","EDITED BY...LARRY",170,510,151,300,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"EDITED BY...LARRY",170,10,151,300,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
Animate(301,450,"subtitle","ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,510,301,450,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ACTUALLY I DID EVERYTHING",83,10,301,450,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)
final1 = last.Animate(451,600,"subtitle","ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,510,451,600,"Arial", 40,$FFFFFF,"ENJOY THE FILM !!",175,10,451,600,"Arial",40,$FFFFFF)

v2=AVISource("E:\captures\godzilla.avi")
v2.Telecide(order=0,post=2)#guide=1
Decimate(MODE=3)
Tweak(SAT=0)
Trim(120,15499)+Trim(19376,29529)+Trim(34829,48310)+Trim(52164,69074)+Trim(72933,93175)+Trim(98464,111880)+Trim(117166,128776)
dnr2()
final2 = last.simpleresize(704,480)

final1 + final2



All I can say is THANK YOU #LOOP() (LOL)
