VapourSynth Stubs
VapourSynth Stubs provides automated Python stub generation to enable better IntelliSense and autocompletion for VapourSynth scripts in VS Code.
Features
A Live Watcher monitors your plugin directories to automatically regenerate stubs, while seamless Pylance Integration ensures your workspace is always configured for instant IntelliSense.
Powered by the vsstubs CLI, the extension provides both automated background processing and Manual Control via dedicated commands.
Getting Started
Once the extension is installed, you can use it by opening a VapourSynth script in VS Code.
If vsstubs is missing from your Python environment, the extension will prompt you to install it.
