Welcome to the Avisynth community!
I hope you'll enjoy the use of this awesome frameserver.


Before you jump into using external functions, you may wanna take a look at the wiki which explains lots of the basic stuff you need so that you can familiarize with them.


Anyway, to answer your question, try with something simple like:

ColorBars(848, 480, pixel_type="YV12")

AiUpscale(Factor=2, Luma="Medium")

your output should be colorbars upscaled from 848x480 to 1696x960.

If that one works, replace ColorBars() with any indexer like:

LWLibavVideoSource("my_video.mxf")

AiUpscale(Factor=2, Luma="Medium")

where "my_video" stands for your input source (path included).

The higher the factor, the more it will upscale, so factor 2 means it height times 2, width times 2, if you use 4 then it's times 4, so going back to the 848x480 example, factor=4 would be 3392x1920 and so on.
Make sure the plugin is in the Plugins64+ folder in your installation of Avisynth and make sure you have the C++ Redistributable installed too.
If you're using an indexer like LWLibav, also make sure that the x64 version is downloaded and copied in the Plugins64+ folder of Avisynth+.
Also make sure you're using the latest Avisynth+ 3.7.2 and the latest AVSPmod mod and not some older versions (I'm personally on Avisynth 3.7.3 Beta but it doesn't matter for what you have to do).

Thanks for your reply ... I tried the Version() function (as shown in the first steps wiki) in a new script file and it worked fine. But when I add call the function to draw the bars, an error appears "There is no function named 'ConvertToShader'. I suspect that I'm missing a plugin, but I can't find anything related to that. Would you happen to know what I'm missing?

I have tried this, and sorry to say I wasn't that impressed with the results...maybe I'm fussy.

Check to see if you have this where it needs to be :-

Have you got the "Shaders" where they need to be ??

Installation
Copy AiUpscale.avsi and the Shaders folder to the AviSynth+ plugins folder.
