AviSynth

What is AviSynth?

  • It’s a powerful tool for video post-production.
  • It’s a frameserver, providing instant transfer to other video applications without the need for temporary files.
  • It’s a script system for non-linear editing and video filters and effects.

AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI). While scripting may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it 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. You have complete control of everything.

The scripting language is simple yet powerful – basic filters can be combined to create useful and unique effects. It is easy to create a quick script to solve some video problem. It can do much more than that, though: to get an idea, take a quick glance at all the third-party plugins available, or browse the doom9 forum to see what AviSynth users and developers are getting up to lately!

AviSynth takes its name from AVI, a digital media format, and Synthesis, because it creates (synthesizes) a virtual (in memory, not on disk) media file – “generating video and audio data according to the script and feeding it to the application as needed.” (in the words of its inventor, Ben Rudiak-Gould). It could be used as a Video Synthesizer, but this is not its usual function.

AviSynth is free open-source software, under the GNU General Public License GPLv2; see Copyrights.

Beyond scripting basics

  • Scripting reference overview
    • The full AviSynth grammar – The AviSynth grammar revisited and explained in detail.
    • The script execution model – The steps behind the scenes from the script to the final video clip output. The filter graph. Scope and lifetime of variables. Evaluation of runtime scripts.
    • User functions – How to effectively write and invoke user defined script functions; common pitfalls to avoid; ways to organise your function collection and create libraries of functions, and many more.
    • Block statements – Techniques and coding idioms for creating blocks of AviSynth script statements.
    • Arrays – Using arrays (and array operators) for manipulating collections of data in a single step.
    • Scripting at runtime – How to unravel the power of runtime filters and create complex runtime scripts that can perform interesting (and memory/speed efficient) editing/processing operations and effects.
