Hi all,
I added a couple of new features to the DVX AviSynth script editor like
code completion and filter preview which previews a certain filter of
the script with support for multible preview instances which keep in sync
for comparison. Also I rewrote many things to make it easier to use. I'm
a little bit curious which tools you use to create and edit your
AviSynth scripts

I mostly use Vdubmod with templates for editing & creation. I like it because at least the older version will keep the same position in the file when you save&refresh, so it's easy to see the effects of tinkering.

I guess I'm just old fashioned, but I simply use Notepad. Every (Windows) computer has it, and IMO it's all I need.

I use Gordian Knot for cropping and Metapad for creation.

DVX is very nice app but it's .NET...

it wouldn't be that nice without .NET, although I never worked with Delphi I still believe I'm two times more productive with VisualStudio .NET 2003. Microsoft advertises VB .NET as the most productive programming model available, I can confirm this!

btw: I'm using matapad as well, besides NoteTab Light

possibly in DVX 3.51b this would be even easier

Text editor like Notepad for editing.
Things should be made as simple as possible - but not simpler.

I use AvisynthEditor, think Notepad with Avisynth syntax highlighting (with updatable definition files), plus it allows for a program of your choice to be used as an external preview (VDubMod, of course). It makes my life a lot easier when I'm creating scripts to compare the effect of different filter chains. I haven't tried many other alternatives on the list. I imagine most people don't want to install another program simply to create a text file, so I'm not surprised at the results so far.

For a new fresh avs file, I use "copy con .....avs". For existing avs file, I right click and select vdubmod.

I have always used notepad for tweaking and filter install but i usally start with a simple gknot for crop, bitrate, resize and compression testing.

Nice tip from TrBarry never really thought about it. Tweak w/ VdubMod has some advantages.

i use MovieStacker to got the resolutions,
the filters and his orders,addresses,fps
audio bitrate (and size),lenght of the movie and lots more.
you can edit and save the script.
very easy to use, great for newbys!

ps:
was build for avisynth2.0x but works with 2.5x too.
my sources are dvds (not divx) and MovieStacker
can load *.d2v and *.avi !

vi is my editor of choice, though Notepad is all I've ever needed for AVS Scripts. I've recently started using WinVi and will probably stay with it.

There are 5 elemental things in my windoze session.
1: PuTTY (for connecting to my irssi client on a linux box in the LAN)
2: IE (actually it's a hacked MyIE2 which looks like IE, tabs are so much more convenient when you have 33 websites open)
3: Explorer (for archiving all those gigs of anime)
4: Paint Shop Pro 6 (EVERYTHING I do graphically I do in PSP)
5: Notepad :rolleyes: - And that is my answer to the poll. :D

I always use Notepad, and I just use VDub and GKnot to figure out good settings for cropping and resizing.

I use notepad for editing avisynth scripts.
Firebird mozilla for browsing as it's faster/better than IE...
Putty for ssh connections etc.
