Description

AssRender is an AviSynth plugin that renders ASS/SSA and SRT (without the HTML-like markup) subtitles. It uses libass to render the subtitles.

This also means that it is much more picky about script syntax than VSFilter and friends, so keep that in mind before blaming the filter. Yes, people have reported a lot of errors that were actually the script author’s fault and libass vs VSFilter compatibility.

Note: AssRender is a C-plugin so it must be loaded using LoadCPlugin, except if you're using AviSynth+, it allows autoloading of C-plugins.

Requirements


Syntax and Parameters

assrender (clip, string file, string "vfr", int "hinting", float "scale", float "line_spacing", float "dar", float "sar", int "top", int "bottom", int "left", int "right", string "charset", int "debuglevel", string "fontdir", string "srt_font", string "colorspace")


clip   =
Input clip.


string   =
Your subtitle file. May be ASS, SSA or SRT.


string  vfr =
Specify timecodes v1 or v2 file when working with VFRaC.


int  hinting = 0
Font hinting mode. Choose between:
  • none (0, default), light (1), normal (2) and Freetype native (3) autohinting.


float  scale = 1.0
Font scale. Defaults to 1.0.


float  line_spacing = 1.0
Line spacing in pixels. Defaults to 1.0 and won’t be scaled with frame size.


float  dar =
float  sar =
Aspect ratio. Of course you need to set both parameters.


int  top = 0
int  bottom = 0
int  left = 0
int  right = 0
Margins. They will be added to the frame size and may be negative.


string  charset = "UTF-8"
Character set to use, in GNU iconv or enca format. Defaults to UTF-8.
Example enca format: enca:pl:cp1250 (guess the encoding for Polish, fall back on cp1250)


int  debuglevel = 0
How much crap assrender is supposed to spam to stderr.


string  fontdir = ""
Additional font directory.
Useful if you are lazy but want to keep your system fonts clean.


string  srt_font = "Sans"
Font to use for SRT subtitles. Defaults to whatever Fontconfig chooses for “Sans”.


string  colorspace = ""
The color space of your (YUV) video. Possible values:
  • "Rec2020", "BT.2020"
  • "Rec709", "BT.709"
  • "Rec601", "BT.601"
  • "PC.709"
  • "PC.601"
  • "TV.fcc", "PC.fcc"
  • "TV.240m", "PC.240m"
  • "none", "guess"
Default is to use the ASS script's "YCbCr Matrix" or "Video Colorspace" property.
Recognized .ASS properties: "TV.601" "TV.709", "PC.601" "PC.709" "TV.240m" "PC.240m" "TV.fcc" "PC.fcc" and "none".
"none" and "guess" decides upon on video resolution: width > 1280 or height > 576 → BT.709, else → BT.601. When no hint found in ASS script and 'colorspace' parameter is empty then the default is BT.601.


Examples 

AviSource("Blah.avi")
AssRender("subtitles.ass")


Changelog 

2021-03-04 - pinterf
     * Version 0.35:
        - Windows MSVC: Update to libass v0.15 (git submodule update --init --recursive --remote) For changes since v0.14 see https://github.com/libass/libass/blob/master/Changelog
        - don't guess base on video resolution (realfinder) if .ass file has no Matrix info then it should be treated as it "Rec601" to maintain compatibility
        - Parameter 'colorspace' default value is no longer "guess"
        - Add more color options: PC.709, PC.601, TV.fcc, PC.fcc, TV.240m, PC.240m, none. "none" and "guess" implies "guess-by-resolution".
        - Fix: possible crash on initializing phase (buffer overread, linux crashed, Windows was just lucky)

            - included enca again
            - patched fontconfig:
                - prettier debug output
                - use the correct location for its cache

2011-02-01 - lachs0r

        This is a bugfix/cleanup release.
        - fixed possible buffer overflows in timecodesv1 and SRT parsing
        - fixed random crashes on unloading

2011-01-17 - lachs0r 
    * Version 0.17:
        - added rudimentary YV12 support (chroma subsampling still needs work)
        - binary: Previously, I linked against a very old avisynth_c.lib - now
                  you shouldn’t get any error messages about “avisynth_c.dll”
