VapourSynth

WARNING! This svn2git import was unofficial and won't be further updated. There is already an official git repository. Official conversion apparently happened after the last commit you can see here, but Myrsloik supposedly forgot about my import and went with Zor's one, which unfortunately wasn't as clean as mine.

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. The software has been heavily inspired by Avisynth 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:

• Multithreaded – Frame level multithreading
• Generalized Colorspaces – New Colorspaces can be specified at runtime
• Per Frame Properties – Additional metadata can be attached to frames
• Python Based – The scripting part is implemented as a Python module so you don’t have have to learn a special language
• 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
