FFAStrans forum

Hi everyone,

I´m having trouble with my workflow, where I´m trying to make AviSynth script trim media at certain time. The idea is that AviSynth trims first 15 seconds of every file and then the process continues.
The script:
#
return trim(m_clip,375,0)

#return m_clip

The files:
XDCAM50 files

The workflow:
Folder - A/V Media - AviSynth and following steps.

The problem is obviously in the script, as when I skip it, the workflow works just fine (deinterlacing, watermarking, h.264 etc.)

Is there something wrong with the script? Am I using wrong script? Or is there any better way to make FFAStrans trim first 15 seconds of all the files in watchfolder?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Hi st-tb, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum!

As the default avisynth script says:

# The following MUST be the last line of your script
Return m_clip

The reason for this is that subsequent filters will use the m_clip as source for their filtering. So your script should look like this:

m_clip = trim(m_clip,375,0)
return m_clip

Try it and let us know how that works out

Hello, Steinar

and thanks for your help.
I´ve already tried several incarnations of the script, one of them looked like your does. But with no help. I copied your´s and there still is asynchronous audio (it´s probably something like 0.3sec forward)..
I even tried changing encoders or simplifiing the workflow, but it always seems to be a problem with AviSynth :/

I anyone knew any (or any other) way of how to trim first 15seconds of video, please share
I still cant figure out why there is alway an audio delay (seems to be 12 or 13 frames).

Thanks for any help

Have you tried to use "Full decode" in the "A/V Media"-decoder? If not, please do and see if that helps.
