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 acts as a frameserver to your other video programs, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files.
AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI), but instead relies on a script system that allows advanced non-linear editing.
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, and complex filters can be created from basic operations to develop a sophisticated palette of useful and unique effects.

AviSynth is free open-source software, under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2)

New to AviSynth - start here

Your first script - A guide for total newbies.
Getting started - An introductory guide for getting started with AviSynth.
Script examples - Assorted examples for putting everything together in the real world.
Filter introduction - An introductory guide to most common AviSynth filters.

Some guides explaining the basic possibilities of AviSynth:
- Analog Capture guide. The AviSynth part of the capture guide is about what filters can be used to enhance the quality of the capture. It discusses things like deinterlacing, denoising, cropping and resizing and color adjustment. Which makes it really useful to learn about some of the capabilities of AviSynth in a schematic way.
- AviSynth 101 mirror - A guide by l33tmeatwad, it includes mostly current information on software setup, video basics, importing videos, handling audio, using filters and other useful information.
- AviSynth Basics - another guide for beginners.
- Introduction AviSynth from AnimeMusicVideos.org. A basic guide about deinterlacing, resizing and some other basic stuff.
- Introduction basic AviSynth filters from AnimeMusicVideos.org. A basic guide about smoothers, rainbow removal, sharpeners, color adjustment and some other basic stuff.

Troubleshooting your scripts and configuration.
