<h1>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h1>
|
|||
|
|
<p>VapourSynth is an application for video manipulation. Or a plugin. Or a library.
|
|||
|
|
It’s hard to tell because it has a core library written in C++ and a Python
|
|||
|
|
module to allow video scripts to be created. It came to be when I started
|
|||
|
|
thinking about alternative designs for Avisynth and most of it was written
|
|||
|
|
over a 3 month period.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The software has been heavily inspired by <a class="reference external" href="http://www.avisynth.org">Avisynth</a>
|
|||
|
|
and aims to be a 21st century rewrite, taking advantage of the advancements
|
|||
|
|
computers have made since the late 90s.
|
|||
|
|
The main features compared to Avisynth are:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<div><ul class="simple">
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Multithreaded - Frame level multithreading that scales well</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Generalized Colorspaces - New colorspaces can be specified at runtime</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Per Frame Properties - Additional metadata can be attached to frames</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Python Based - The scripting part is implemented as a Python module so you
|
|||
|
|
don’t have to learn a special language</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Support for video with format changes - Some video just can’t stick to one
|
|||
|
|
format or frame size. VapourSynth can handle any kind of change</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><p>Compatible with a large number of already existing Avisynth plugins</p></li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>

<h2>About the author<a class="headerlink" href="#about-the-author" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Fredrik Mellbin majored in electrical engineering with a focus on image analysis
|
|||
|
|
and processing with medical applications. He has previously worked with digital
|
|||
|
|
electronics and likes to plan his own software projects in his spare time.
|
|||
|
|
When he one day found himself out of work he needed something to do between
|
|||
|
|
sending out job applications and waiting for a reply. The natural choice for
|
|||
|
|
the author was to try to improve Avisynth, the software that once made him
|
|||
|
|
interested in video editing. VapourSynth is the result of all that time waiting.</p>

if you need help to port a filter or want to sponsor the development.</p>
