I'm in no way suggesting you *should* or even *should want to* put together something like that. I'm just sayin' it would be cool, and it was inspired by your already-cool AR calculator makin' life simpler.

Sounds like a great idea, if I had some experience with AviSynth I'd put my hand up for the job right now.

You could even skip the copying and pasting stage and just have the script generate the .AVS automatically, though then newbies wouldn't learn if they never open the file up.

I know you didn't specify an online script (which is all I'd be capable of), but I wonder if a regular GUI could be created for AviSynth. Maybe even something node based like Shake so orders of filters could be easily specified and multiple sources could be used in the right order. That could end up being both a learning tool for newbies and and easy tool for advanced users that simply don't like to 'code'. Add a side panel with the actual code so you can both see what the program is doing plus manually edit it.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could convince one of my younger friends to work on it...
