Hello; I am currently trying to use avisynth to post-produce a video in a specific manner, from what is basically a RELAY RACE with 4 passes: 1) a "main" video, of between 15-30 seconds long, covers the whole race; 2) 4 short videos (1.5-2s each) which will get inset 3) 4 photographs, which will also get inset (as I understand it, I have to basically make them into videos. I need to do the generating utilizing the variables from a file (which I dynamically generate, out of the scope of this). The file will consist of something like: 19.004 //total length of this particular race 5.013 //start time of inset 1 9.987 // start time of inset 2 15.451 // start time of inset 3 RACENAME // miscelleneous text I want to be able to insert at some points 4.35 // miscellaneous numbers/data I want to be able to insert into the video at various points I think the inserts are done using Overlay (is there an easier way?). I'll be having the videos reduced to a corner and overlaid. Do I use conditionalread to get the data from the textfile? I've looked into it but don't entirely understand the mechanics. Each race lasts a variable time. Each pass-video can thus take place at any given time, and can be a variable length. Each photo should be inserted at a variable time (probably a half second after the pass, and displayed for a period). I've got a system already designed for automatically taking the videos/photos, naming them appropriately and saving/organizing, and generating a textfile with the data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
