1 ) getfresh - Do as you wish.

2 ) I've created the tutorial, but I've created it in french.
I would need someone in order to time a subtitle script or someone who would want to dub it. I've already translated the tutorial...

Well, I don't think anyone would bother to do that ^^. But hope is what makes humans different .

yo
i have a problem...
i tried to use \move function but i couldn't move one syllable at a time i did put \r but still the same would u help me.

[Schneizel]

There can only be one working \move per line. D:

[shinjipierre]

new update on my website :

- New update for my ssa -> after effects script : version v0.7. (effects selector and space management layer added)
- A tutorial in order to use my script with english subtitles.

(tutorial already outdated since I've made an update after doing the tutorial and i'm too lazy to do it again.)

(I don't know if I should post it somewhere else)
I'm also trying to create an computer graphics help channel.

As Koda said you can only use one \move per line so heres another way of doing it. One is to have an invisible letter inbetween each letter and grow/shrink it appropriatetly with \t like this (I'll use a b)

H{\fscx0}{\t(0,100,\fscx300)\t(200,300,\fscx0)}b{\ fscx100}e{\fscx0}{\t(100,200,\fscx300)\t(300,400,\ fscx0)}b{\fscx100}l{\fscx0}{\t(200,300,\fscx300)\t (400,500,\fscx0)}b{\fscx100}l{\fscx0}{\t(300,400,\ fscx300)\t(500,600,\fscx0)}b{\fscx100}o{\fscx0}{\t (500,600,\fscx300)}b

If you only want the current syllable to move, then you willl have to use {\an9/6/3} positoning which means if you want it centred to start you will have to manually positon. Another way is using \org and small \fr amounts such as \frx0.1

{\org(320,1300)}{\t(0,100,\frx0.1)}H{\frx-0}{\t(100,200,\frx0.1)}e{\frx-0}{\t(200,300,\frx0.1)}l{\frx-0}{\t(300,400,\frx0.1)}l{\frx-0}{\t(400,500,\frx0.1)}o


Otherwise you can just give each syllable its own line and use \move
Just fool around with different values in the \org and using frx/y/z to get the movement you want.

Why dont you've a look at Paul script Shinjipierre? Paul script load the SSA to AE without having to adjust the text and space it'll turn out like what you've on the SSA/ASS.

[shinjipierre]

Mostly because Paul doesn't use text animators.
He doesn't set the text animators mode selectors to "word".

The difference.... Well... You're less restricted.
Arrtists don't like to be restricted, that's all ^^

By the way, I got rid of the annoying behavior when one has to replace the spaces.
There's a null layer with a slider in order to change the spaces.

\org and \fr_ (usually \frx or \frz for moving vertically, \fry for horizontal)

thats not necessarily true... it depends what your org is to say for certain that \frz is to move vertically.........

i personally like to use \frx to move vertically=o

[Sylf]

Quick tutorial to move object horizontally and vertially freely:
1) Set \org way off the screen horizontally - i.e. (-1000000,20)
2) use \frz to move object vertically
3) use \fry to move object horizontally.

or

1) Set \org way off the screen vertically - i.e. (20,1000000)
2) use \frz to move object horizontally
3) use \frx to move object vertically.

Now you can make a karaoke that has letters hopping across the screen! Woot!

I use SSA and have switched to Aegisub and encountered a minor problem. In SSA I could start a new line with \n, but with Aegisub that isn't the case. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated. Also, how does one commit the kanji to go vertical on the right side of the screen?

Use a capital N as int \N, or change your wrap settings.

For the kanji, at the top of your font selection you should have fonts with @ infront of it which makes it vertical, all or most japanese fonts should have it. then just flip it 90 degrees with {\frz-90}.

[Schneizel]

Or put 270 in the rotations box in the styles. >_>

[G.U.N.D.A.M]

ok it moved well but i couldn't move one syllable at a time

{\pos(313,20)}{\org(0,800)}{\r\fscx100\fscy100\t(0 ,300,\frx1.5)}

i did everything but still nothing

[kingofbeer]

the real question should be why do you have \fscx100\fscy100 immediately after \r o_O

[Bot1]

try removing the space after \t(0

Have you used {\r} to make it only affect one syllable?

{\pos(313,20)}{\org(0,800)}{\r\fscx100\fscy100\t(0 ,300,\frx1.5)}la{\r}lala

[CarrierZ]

Heh, I would probably just go with something easy as:
{\org(10000,0}{\r\t(0,1000,\fr0.5\fscx50\fscx200}
And, since your words are already scaled 100, I don't see why you should have this "{\r\fscx100\fscy100\t(0 ,300,\frx1.5)}" before transform.

[Aleks]

so yea.... i was using the \org method to move each single syllabel, but i reached a obstacle. after the animation of it hoping to the left is done, the whole lines turns up to be slanted, any idea how to counteract this...i tried a lot of tweaking with the numbers, and nothing would seem to do it.

[Aleks]

never mind i fixed it :P
