Welcome to the AviSynth Documentation Project
What is AviSynth?
- AviSynth is a powerful tool for video post-production. It provides ways of editing and processing videos.
- AviSynth is a frameserver to your other video programs, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files.
- AviSynth is a script system for video filters and advanced non-linear editing.
AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI). While this may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it is remarkably powerful and is a very good way to manage projects in a precise, consistent, and reproducible manner. Because text-based scripts are human readable, projects are inherently self-documenting. The scripting language is simple yet powerful - basic filters can be combined to create useful and unique effects.
The name AviSynth comes from Avi + Synth, for Video Synthesizer (a kind of effects generator). It is much more though: take a quick look at the list of third-party plugins to see some of the things it does. At the same time, it is much less, because it is so easy to create a short script to solve some video problem.
AviSynth is free open-source software, under the GNU General Public License GPLv2; see Copyrights.
