Using VirtualDubMod for creating AviSynth scripts?

[W_Eagle]

Can I use VirtualDubMod for creating complex AviSynth scripts? I mean adding settings of filters, like VirtualDub LogoAway filter? Using the SCRIPT EDITOR function of VirtualDubMod I can set up range and trim, but that's all. I've seen something mentioned in VirtualDubMod FAQ, yet, by reading it I don't know if and how to do it.

Yes, but you need to do the following:

1. Locate an avs script called vdub_filters.avs. You can find the first half here:
http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=VirtualDub_I

There is also a link there to "the second half" of the script. You need to copy and paste the two scripts, i.e. the first half and the second half, into a third text file, save it as vdub_filters.txt, then rename it to vdub_filters.avsi.

2. Modify the above script so that it points to the folder where your VirtualDub plugins reside. (This is explained at the top of the script, which I have copied here for clarity:


########################################################
# Change VirtualDub_plugin_directory below to point to #
# the directory containing your VirtualDub plugins. #
########################################################

global VirtualDub_plugin_directory = "c:\Program Files\virtualdub\plugins"



3. Place this script into your AviSynth plugin folder and it will be auto loaded whenever you use the program. Since you are using the "avsi" extention (not "avs"), you can ignore the following instruction, which is simply the manual way of doing the same thing. I have copied it here for the sake of clarity:


############################################################
# This file provides convenient Avisynth interfaces to
# various VirtualDub plugins. Load it in your script with:
#
# Import("vdub_filters.avs")



4. If the video you want to DeLogo is not in RGB32 convert it using "ConvertToRGB32"

5. Now open vdub_filters.avsi with notepad or any other text editor and read how to enter the paramaters for DeLogo.

Note: This script also allows you to use many other VirtualDub filters which either don't work or only work in a limited sense using the "LoadVirtualDubPlugin" command. (Although you are still using this command since it is used in vdub_filters.avsi)

Hope this helps,

Hi t_2,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. It will take me few days to try it and see whether it is clear enough for me to actually work with it.
