Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here, Vdub and vdubmod won't open a Layer AVS script..
Layer("C:\***.avi")+("C:\***.avi") string "fast" int "122" int "0" int "0" int "threshold" bool "true"
Trying to layer two differen't clips, I'm probably screwing up the code though.
Script error: Invalid Arguments to fuction "layer"
Also when I try to run a dissolve script with 2 differen't clips the screen just flashes really fast back and forth between clips :\
Thanks for any help you can give me, If you can write me exactly what the code "should" look like to layer 2 avi's together for a few seconds that would be a great help aswell.

Remember you have to load the AVIs first with a "source" type filter, before you can apply a filter (like Layer) which works with clips. The way I would do it is:
| CODE | clip1 = AVISource("C:\***.avi")
clip2 = AVISource("C:\***.avi")
Layer(clip1, clip2, "fast", 122, 0, 0, 0, true) |
Hope that helps.

That helps thanks exactly what I wanted.
But "Remember you have to load the AVIs first with a "source" type filter"
I'm new, what do you mean by that? |

Filters like Layer() work with clips, not files. You must always start with a source filter to connect to a file on your hard drive. The return value from the source filter is a "clip" which the other filters can use. Examples of source filters are AviSource(), DirectShowSource(), WavSource(), and so on. Think of them as functions; each one takes a filename as an argument, and returns a "clip." But notice how the following one-line script will work just as well as what I posted above:
| CODE | | Layer(AviSource("C:\***.avi"), AviSource("C:\***.avi"), "fast", 122, 0, 0, 0, true) |
Instead of assigning the return of AviSource to variables (as I did in my previous post), you can use the return value directly in arguments to Layer. I find the other syntax is easier to follow, though.

AHH ok I understand
Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it!
Edit: woot it works.. ! But just like dissolve the screen flickers between them really fast ! Is that because the backgrounds are somewhere different or is there a way to make the layer flow the two scenes together softly? They play very jumpy atm!
Or maybe a way to darken the over laying scene gradually so it becomes the main scene? |

Sorry, I don't know; I've never seen that phenomenon. If you have a script that demonstrates the flicker, please post it in its entirety so we can see it.
BTW, there is a very detailed Avisynth manual here.

I'm just using the same thing you posted for the script, or do you mean post the test AVI?
Dunno where I can host that, maybe geocities, if that's what you're talking about let me know and i'll post it.
as for the entire script exactly as i'm using it
| CODE | clip1 = AVISource("C:\Jay\Movies\APPS\Clips\ACa.avi")
clip2 = AVISource("C:\Jay\Movies\APPS\Clips\ACb.avi")
Layer(clip1, clip2, "add", 120, 0, 0, 0, true) |
no more no less :\
Edit: I went to that manual site you said to and it had an extra line : .ConvertToYUY2 (whatever that is) as well as listing the function as "return Layer" instead of "layer"
So for example it turned to this
| CODE | clip1 = AviSource("C:\Jay\Movies\APPS\Clips\ACa.avi") .ConvertToYUY2
clip2 = AviSource("C:\Jay\Movies\APPS\Clips\ACb.avi") .ConvertToYUY2
return Layer(clip1, clip2, "fast") |
And flicker is gone!!!!! Have no idea why but gone is gone!
Thanks again Fcc! |
