New Avisynth+ Functions

[blaze077]

Is there a page of some sort with the description of the new Avisynth+ functions?
For example with ConvertTo16Bit, I can conjecture what the function does but it has various parameters which I do not understand.

If there isn't a page, could someone explain the parameters of that specific function?

Thank you.

Until I (or someone) have time for proper documentation:

Made it sticky until there is proper documentation.

The link above and a lot more information in on the wiki page: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynth%2B

Regarding proper documentation, I'm still working on it, but I've been swamped these past months.

Speaking of stickies, how about you unstick the yv12 faq from 2002 and the denoiser speed test from 2003? I really don't feel like either is so helpful that it warrants a sticky thread (interest in comparing convolution3d vs pixiedust does not seem to be at an all time high, for example) and, uh, the yv12 faq link has been broken for many, many years now.

I mean it's kinda d9's gimmick that there's five sticky threads with information that has been outdated since before the pleistocene epoch at the top of every subforum but it's never too late to get with the times...

Thank you, pinterf. That gave me some new information.

I remember your post giving a short preview of your work on a new documentation a while back so was wondering when it would come out. So as long as it comes out, I'll be grateful.

Thank you.

@TheFluff, you are right. I unstickied them. That was a long time ago 2002 and 2003. Thanks!

My problem is that I always find new and interesting things to do. The modifications are really not that big from the user point of view, most internal filters work seamlessly when feeding with high bit depth clips. Where old packed RGB is used, you can have now planar RGB.
Now I really need to summarize the non-trivial modifications - new functions, maybe one or two new parameters - winter holiday is coming soon, uh-oh, poor me :-)

Just a friendly reminder, there's the AviSynth+ documentation thread I started a while back. I do plan on posting more questions on that thread, there's a few things I would like to confirm (MT, GScript, and others).

Is there anything like ImageSequence in AviSynth+? ImageSource doesn't work. Creating a startrail timelapse and I run out of ram on the 32bit version of AviSynth. JPGs are 6000x4000

Have you tried the 64 bit version?

I have, but I can't find a way to easily load an image sequence.

[Groucho2004]

I must be missing something, let's try again:

Does ImageSequence not work with AVS+ (32 bit)?

The script you posted above uses ImageSource() so I guess you do have a way to load an image sequence. Your statements are confusing, could you elaborate?

[mikeytown2]

Think the issue is I used AviSynth+ r2294 as it's the latest version with an installer. I think it was missing ImageSeq.dll from plugins64+ dir. Installing the stable AviSynth+ r1576 and it appears to be working now.

[StainlessS]

Hi MikeyTown2, dont think I've seen you for a while,
I updated your TWriteAVI some time ago, here:- http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...ight=twriteavi

Copes now with audio.

[mikeytown2]

Hey StainlessS!
Yeah I've been lurking for the last couple of years. Thought I found an issue but looks like I got bit by a dev only bug. Awesome to hear that the plugin is still alive!

While waiting for one to appear, I have prepared a crude list by diffing the source code - AVS 2.60 vs. AVS+ r2455.
Function signatures copied from source verbatim. You can decipher most of them fairly easily:

'c'=clip; 's'=string; 'f'=float; 'i'=integer; 'b'=boolean;
'a'=(new type) array; '.'=any variable type accepted.
'*' means zero or more of the previous argument. '+' means one or more. I don't know what '#' means.
Words in [brackets] preceding a type char are argument names, implying the argument is optional.
EDIT rough group by category; add 'changed' list.

Thanks, a few remarks, those script array related functions are disabled temporarily, because the array concept is incompatible with plugins using avs 2.5 interface.
TCPDeliver is updated by DJAtom: https://github.com/DJATOM/TCPDeliver/releases

[vcmohan]

It is good that the script is getting more capable with all these new additions. I have felt some problem a couple of times while coding plugins. These are:
1.The array has to be specified always at the beginning of the parameter string as array can have no name. Whether this can be changed.
2.two or more arrays of same data type can not be specified.

Whether this facility can be incorporated in avisynth+?

They can if a variable of another type appears between them. I did this on my ColourWarp plugin so you can specify non-clip-specific points first, then the clips, then the clip-specific points.

Wait, does that mean plugins which make use of arrays won't work on recent versions of AviSynth? What makes it incompatible?
