So, you mean, playing them side by side, or one on top of the other, or...?

Like green screening in movies and tv shows). Masking is where you go through frame by frame and essentially "cut" the image out (using Photoshop or After Effects or what have you). Generally masking will always end up looking better than keying since even scenes with a single color background probably have that color somewhere else in the image (like if it's a white background, the character's eyes are also probably white, and it would cut that out too).

Can AVIsynth perform masking?

yes

AVISynth can do that; see the built-in functions StackHorizontal and StackVertical.

the link should be working now... >_> download the .avsi file to the plugins folder in the folder where avisynth is installed, and you can call the function in any script you make.

This is incredible! Is there any place where I can download a bunch of .avs with the AMV's they were used in?
