| I have two videos of about 1.5 minutes each. They both contain approxamently the same thing, except that they both have logos / text that flys in or appears in different places (eg. video 1 has text in center for 1st 15 seconds, video 2 has text on bottom for same duration, then positions change). What I want to do is take, say, the 'clean' logoless (top, bottom, etc) half of one of the videos and the 'clean' logoless (bottom, top, etc) half of the other, and combine them into one video made of these two halves. (that's probably a really odd explanation, sorry...) Is this possible to do? I've looked around on the internet for a filter that can do this, with no luck. |

| Short videos... then do your transformation on a frame-by-frame basis. Export both clips to image sequences. Maybe delete or add from/to one sequence to get them exactly in sync. Then use your favourite photo editor to do the manipulations, which may be cut and paste, from what you say. Use Macro-Express or some other macroing program to automate your manipulations, and run it for as far as you can until either you are finished or you need to tweek it. Then import the sequence as an AVI. Good luck. |

| If I slice my movie(s) up into single frames, how much harddrive space is that going to take up? That seems like a lot of images...almost 5000 total (guestimate, im not on that computer right now). |

Hmm. I think you could accomplish this using Avisynth. I haven't done that in particular, but I think you could with a combination of Crop() and StackVertical() functions, possibly with Trim()s to select out the portions you need for particular subparts. I mean something like (assuming 640x480 for this example): a = AVISource("clip1.avi").CropBottom(240) b= AVISource("clip2.avi").Crop(0,240,640,240) return StackVertical( a, b ) http://www.videotools.net/doc/doc.htm for Avisynth. Update: just tried it, works great! |

| That sounds a lot easier than frame-by-frame editing.... Don't have time now, but I'll try it when I do! Thanks!! |

Phew... I wish to accomplish a similar task (explained in a seperate post), however I am working with a frame size of 1920x1088 (high definition video). Each frame is 6MB in size. |

| wow...dont do frame-by-frame for that unless you have a 10TB harddrive.... try avisynth, sounds like it will work to me. could you post a link to the other post? |
