AVISynth

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 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)
