YUY2 and YV12 are both YUV colorspaces. You only need one of them.

Well, I got cleaner footage with a smaller list and didn't interleave the footage now and it seems to have done the trick.

AVISource("insertfilename")
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
ConvertToYV12()
deen("c3d")
awarpsharp ()
Tweak(cont=1.0,sat=1.0,bright=0, hue=0)

From the looks of it, I'm back to square one. Should I just go ahead and put in subtitles in via AVISynth?

Dang, that video just hurt my brain. x_x

It looks like they're just holding the last frame of each clip (or taking a still of it and tacking it on the end), then saturating/hyper-contrasting it, and then throwing a black border around it with the inside edges feathered a bit.
... yea ...

OK, so i made a beta of my future amv, and when i was done with it, and uploaded it to u-tube, there were these black bars on the side (on the top and bottom, i put those there because of the water marks of the converter). How do i get rid of those? Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um3zsyHfGLA

lol thanks.I'm sure you'll live after seeing it though.It's only a 10 sec clip :D I gave up with that effect though,spent ages messing around with saturation and desaturation or something and all it did was make sora's face look very orange :| so in the end I decided to just add a bit of white glow to make it look brighter but not look like a ghost :)

Hmm I was just wondering if there was a simpler way to "bring images/clips to the front?".Say for example I had 5 clips and I was using masking to cut out parts here and there,but I want one of the clips to ALWAYS be at the front.Here's a screenie(I took it off somebodys video on youtube,but only a screenie!nothing else!)

See how Sora(1) is in front of all the other images?that's what I want to do.Is there another way to do that besides from having Sora at the topest layer?
