making a video run in reverse

[rsquirell]

is there software or filter that'll let you make a video run backwards? i seem to recall someone saying that virtual dub had a filter for that...maybe not.

AVISynth:
reverse()

avisynth reverse()

edit: beat me to it!

[rsquirell]

thanx guys. lets see if i can get venus to rotate backwards.

Ulead Video Studio can do it too, if for some reason you can't get that to work.

Trying AVISynth I scripted:
AVISource("C:/venusrotation.avi")
Reverse
and BSPlayer played the clip in reverse...but when I tried to "run script" in VirtualDub I got "Error during script execution at line 1, column 10 'AVI Source not found'
AVISource<!>("C:\venusrotation.avi")"
VDMod gave me "Sylia script error...variable not found"
Am I supposed to install a plug-in or something to get VD to work with AVISynth scripts? the tenth figure in line one is the parenthesis...the path is longer than depicted, but BSPlayer found it ok.

you put in extra quotation marks, your script should look like this:

avisource("c:\venusrotation.avi")
reverse()

Don't use "Run script". That is for Sylia scripts.

Just open the AVS file as if it is an AVI, i.e., File/Open video file...

[rsquirell]

YES!!! Success!!! Now why couldn't they just tell you that in the instructions? Thanx ever so much neuron!!!

Give me a reputation hit. I need it. Thanks.

[rsquirell]

you deserve it, big guy. welcome to the forums.

[rsquirell]

this is the first time i've gotten up the courage to script video...it's actually fun. checking available filters, i found a couple of 3rd party filters for mpeg2-avi conversion written by neuron2. that wouldn't happen to be you, would it?

[blutach]

It's the one and only. @neuron2

Darn, my cover is blown.

[rsquirell]

About a third of the third party filters have been written by neuron2. I'm humbled to be in the presence. Thanx for helping us igmos out.
