New page

First [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023 download] and install AviSynth . Let's start with the most basic of AviSynth scripts:

AviSource("c:\folder\myclip.avi")

Open up any text editor, type the above on the first line (using any AVI file on your machine as "myclip.avi"), and save it as "myclip.avs". You now have a script that can be opened by most AVI players in your machine: MS Windows Media Player 6.4 (aka "mplayer2.exe") will play the script; so will [[VirtualDubMod]] or plain [[VirtualDub]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AviSynth#AviSynth_compatible_programs several others]. So far as they care, your text document is an AVI file.

An even simpler script would be

Version()

Which just displays the current version of avisynth.

There are several different source types, and each means something unique. For instance, you cannot open an MPEG file with [[AviSource]] because it's not an AVI file. For MPEG files you could use [[DirectShowSource]], so you would write:

DirectShowSource("c:\folder\myclip.mpg", fps=25)

But it would be better to use [[DGDecode]] for importing MPEG files.

This process is explained in greater detail in these pages: [[AviSource|AVISource]], [[DirectShowSource]], [[AviSource|AviFileSource]], [[AviSource|OpenDmlSource]]

Once you get the hang of using a [[frameserver]], it's time to do something more interesting than just spit out the same old video! To begin, [[Filter introduction|introduce yourself to filters]] or head straight to the [[Internal filters|AviSynth manual]] itself.

More examples can be found here: [[Script examples]].
