AVISynth is a video scripting software used by CoN to merge video files together (and sometimes for other uses). It can be found at http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page .

CoN uses AVISynth for merging CoN videos with the [[CoN YouTube Video Bumpers|CoN Video Bumper]] before uploading to YouTube. These scripts, ending in the extension .avs, are loaded into [[VirtualDub]] and converted to videos on the fly for saving out as AVI.

== Sample Scripts ==
This is a basic AVS script used to generate a bumper AVI video. Note that the path to the image file here could change based on the image used and its location. The "fps" and "end" variables can change too; this particular script creates a video 45 frames long at 30fps, resulting in 1.5 seconds for the end AVI.

 ImageSource("C:\Users\jalvies\Desktop\720p.png", fps=30, end=45)

This script is more detailed. It was used for the Chrono Trigger section to append a bumper video to one of the CT endings, and to dissolve (crossfade) between the two for 30 frames - in this case, one second. The effect would start a half-second before the end of the bumper, and continue through the first half-second of the ending itself.

 #load sources
 a = AVISource("test-bumper-4.avi")
 b = AVISource("beyond_time_2-uncomp.avi")
 
 #30 frame Dissolve between clipA & clipB; last & clipA; last & clipB
 #Resulting output: clipA (Dissolve) clipB.
 Dissolve(a, b, 30)
