I'm posting this info across a few entries ... as I do it myself and ready screenshots. Included will be info on Avisynth and a script to do what I'm demonstrating in my paint program -- if I can figure out the corresponding functions and/or find plug-ins to do same. :)

Avisynth is what I, and many others, use for involved, video & audio manipulation. It outputs a stream of video/audio to a video encoder of your choice to create a movie file. That file, in turn, can be played directly on your computer and/or encoded to disc for a DVD/Blu-ray player. (Most of that is beyond the scope of this posting. See other forum threads for that information.)

BTW, if you have a decent paint program, that's an easy and interactive way to quickly visualize and test the procedures I'm describing.

I have just downloaded AVIsynth, and, when you get the time, would greatly appreciate a rundown on how to use it, and, if possible, a script to do what we are talking about.

I have PhotoShop, which seems to be an excellent paint and all-around image manipulating program. I am still learning how to use it but am amazed at what I have been able to do with it thus far.

Thanks!

Garrett.
