I created a motion menu function for Avisynth

I wrote a function that will create a six-thumbnail motion menu of any size and length. It does a title at the top of the menu and captions for each thumbnail clip. Here's a screenshot of what it can do (you might have to wait a bit): (I used the same clip for all, but you can do 6 separate ones). Anyway, here's the code: Code:

Thank you for posting your script. Do you recognize a speedup if you add brackets to your bottom = StackHorizontal(g,h,i).AddBorders(30,0,0,0).ConvertToYuy2 command, i.e. change it to: bottom = StackHorizontal(g,h,i).AddBorders(30,0,0,0).ConvertToYuy2() ? I read that this could make quite a difference. bb

I just tried it and it didn't seem to help or hurt the speed. This was also on a Celeron 466 where I tested so there might be a speedup with a faster processor.

ive been wanting to do this for a while 

can you explain it please, what each line does im new to avsynth , i dont see any line for importing avis. :) kayman

This is a function definition. You have to provide your own sources. You use it either by pasting the text in you script or by using the import filter: Code:

great thanks cant wait to try it out this is exatctly what i want to do but didnt have the know how to write one

um 1 more thing say if i want a title like "kaymans svcd" at the top and chapter 1 - 6 under each image how would i do that or can i?

Oops I forgot the menu title in my example above I edited my post and changed the call to reflect your question

The subtitle part is built in to the function. When you call it you put menu(nameofvideoclip,"Chapter 1"...), this makes a caption of Chapter 1 under the first clip. You specify the caption for each clip. After the clips is the title, which is put at the top of the menu. If you look at the code there is a line that starts with "#Usage" that tells you what all the arguments are. I'm on a family vacation right now, but when I get home I can write a description of how it works. dividee: The call you posted would make a 480x576 menu, not 800x600, just thought I'd point that out.
