So...What is the perfect process??

I just kinda wanted to know.

How exactly some of the pros from the site use AVISynth to it's full potential. What steps do you take in their exact order, to clean up your videos??

The reason they are pros is because there is NOT some perfect process. Anyone can follow some little list of things to do. The trick is being able to look at your source and tell what it needs.

Righto...That makes sense.

Alright then. What kind of things should one look for?? It can't just be pixelated graphics and stuff right??

Like, what are the most common errors to look for??

On this page of the new guide it shows some things to look out for: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... tqual.html

I'll probably redo it though, but I dunno when I might get around to it.

All right, thank you very much. I will take a look at it now.

When is the right time to use AVISynth?? Along what part of the AMV creation process I mean?? Do I use it on the Lossless file, or do I try to clean up a finished product?? I have both files still on my CPU, but I can't open the finished product (.divx) in VirtualDubMod.

It should be used before a finished product.
As for exactly where in the process you do it, that can depend. You can either filter before you edit your video, or you can filter after you edit your video. If I'm just using one source, or if none of my sources really have any major problems, I'll usually filter after editing, since its easier. When using lots of different sources, I filter before editing, so I can tweak my filtering for each individual source.

So then...If I am using multiple sources, then you suggest the filtering takes place before I put the AMV together in my editing suite??

And likewise...If I am using a small number of sources, then it is ok to filter after the AMV is thrown together??

If this is correct, then I "can" filter my lossless file?? The file is slightly over 1GB. Will the size affect my ability to filter??

When you decide to filter in the process is all up to you, whether you think certain sources need different filtering.
And yes you can filter your lossless file.

Ok
You've been a great help Zarxrax. Thank you very much. If and when you decide to update the filtering page, please send me a PM so that I can check it out.

Thanks again.
