Video editing tool designed for post production.

AviSynth is an advanced, script-based set of tools which help users with the post production of video files.

The application does not come with a graphical user interface, so it isn't exactly suitable for novice users but it does provide a very rich set of tools and examples for polishing up video files.

Creating and editing scripts can be done using a basic text editor and once completed, save them as AVS files. Several mainstream video and media players can open these files.

Even though the program may seem difficult to use, it is very powerful and can create some excellent custom effects which may be applied to videos. Furthermore, AviSynth supports a wide variety of video formats.

In conclusion: AviSynth is a very powerful set of tools which are suitable for intermediate users. The included examples are a great way to get started creating custom effects and filters and finding tutorials and other examples online is also an option.
