The available (internal) filters are listed here and divided into categories. A short description is added, including the supported color formats (and sample types for the audio filters). There are some functions which combine two or more clips in different ways. How the video content is calculated is described for each function, but here is a summary which explains which properties that the resulting clip will have.

An alphabetical listing of the internal filters can be found here Category:Internal_filters.

Interlace filters

These filters can be used for creating and processing field-based material (which is frame-based material separated into fields). AviSynth is capable of dealing with both progressive and interlaced material. The main problem is, that it often doesn't know what it receives from source filters. This is the reason that the field-based flag exists and can be used when dealing with interlaced material. More information about field-based video can be found here.

Audio processing filters

These filters can be used to process audio. Audio samples from a clip will be automatically converted if any filters requires a special type of sample. This means that if a filter doesn't support the type of sample it is given, it will automatically convert the samples to something it supports. The internal formats supported in each filter is listed in the sample type column. A specific sample type can be forced by using the ConvertAudio functions.

If the sample type is float, when AviSynth has to output the data, it will be converted to 16 bit, since float cannot be passed as valid AVI data.

Filter Description Sample type
Amplify / AmplifydB Amplify multiply audio samples by amount. 16 bit, Float
AssumeSampleRate Adjusts the playback speed of the audio. All
AudioDub / AudioDubEx AudioDub takes the video stream from the first argument and the audio stream from the second argument and combines them. AudioDubEx is similar, but it doesn't throw an exception if both clips don't have a video or audio stream. All
AudioTrim Trims an audio clip so that it includes only the start_time through end_time. All
ConvertAudioTo8bit / ConvertAudioTo16bit / ConvertAudioTo24bit / ConvertAudioTo32bit / ConvertAudioToFloat Converts audio samples to 8/16/24/32/Float bits. All
ConvertToMono Merges all audio channels. 16 bit, Float

Normalize Amplifies the entire waveform as much as possible, without clipping. 16 bit, Float
ResampleAudio Performs a high-quality change of audio sample rate. 16 bit
SuperEQ High quality 18 band sound equalizer. Float
SSRC Very high quality samplerate conversion. Float
TimeStretch This filter can change speed of the sound without changing the pitch, and change the pitch of a sound without changing the length of a sound. Float

Conditional and other meta filters

Meta filters can be used to control other filters execution. The basic characteristic of conditional filters is that 'their scripts' are evaluated (executed) at every frame instead of the whole clip. This allows for complex video processing that would be difficult or impossible to be performed by a normal AviSynth script.

Filter Description Color format
ConditionalFilter / FrameEvaluate / ScriptClip / ConditionalSelect ConditionalFilter returns source1 if some condition is met, otherwise it returns source2. ScriptClip/FrameEvaluate returns the clip which is returned by the function evaluated on every frame. ConditionalSelect returns one frame from several sources based on an integer evaluator. YUY2 ?, YV12
ConditionalReader ConditionalReader allows you to import information from a text file, with different values for each frame - or a range of frames. YUY2 ?, YV12
WriteFile / WriteFileIf / WriteFileStart / WriteFileEnd These filters evaluate expressions and output the results to a text-file. RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, Y8, YV411, YV12, YV16, YV24 ?
Animate / ApplyRange Animate (ApplyRange) is a meta-filter which evaluates its parameter filter with continuously varying (the same) arguments. RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, Y8, YV411, YV12, YV16, YV24 ?
TCPServer / TCPSource This filter will enable you to send clips over your network. You can connect several clients to the same machine. RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, Y8, YV411, YV12, YV16, YV24
