i used to use it for intermediate steps with filters (actually im not really into this video editing yet, im still discovering new things every day so 'used to' should be taken with a grain of salt  )
as youve already pointed out, AVIsynth (just discovered that too) might be a better way to see the effects of filters... BUT (for me) AVIsynth will take some time getting used to; i still make a lot of syntax errors in the scrypts. i also sometimes forget to put in simple things like AviSource and the like  .
if you read the huffyuv website, they also say the main purpose of the codec is lossless CAPTURING (not editing, although it will work just as fine for that)
| QUOTE | | Huffyuv is intended to replace uncompressed YUV as a video capture format. |
like i already said, im still a beginner so most things i do i still consider as testing. hanging around on these forums helps me to learn new stuff almost every day. i have edited some homevideos made with a digital camera (some cutting and resizing, put some text in, easy stuff).
as it comes to filters im still learning about that now. just for a 'simple' thing like smoothening there are so many different kinds of filters. im just running tests (sometimes with huffyuv/virtualdub, sometimes with avisynth) to see what they do and what the difference is between them. there is info about it on the inet of course, but i always like to see for myself. i agree that avisynth will probably go a lot faster than taking intermediate steps with huffyuv. but as for now, the test clips arent that long, so encoding times are quite low. (afterwards, i encode that in DivX, to see what the final result would be like, but the more reading i do, the more im thinking about using other codecs...  )
im not even sure if i will ever use any filters, but id at least like to see what they do so i might improve my results... even if i never use them, at least i had fun trying it; some filters can do some weird stuff

thanks, thanks a lot... it was quite comprehensive (better than Napoleon's biography ) actually, i just thought about potential applications of huffy (aside from its direct application) and asked myself where i can use this codec. Except for acceleration of 2-pass encoding, no other ideas came to my stupid head. i've tested and i was a bit disappointed. That's why i asked you... hopefully, this question did not trouble you too much.

no troubles at all, just explaining my current understanding of the whole video-editing 'business'
but i cant think of any other thing than whats it suggested for: capturing

One word: cutting.
Not just cutting parts away, but even more re-ordering parts of a video clip. It provides you with keyframes-only, AND lossless compression.
