wrong:

\fad(0,300)

right:

\t(!$send-300!,$send,\alpha&HFF&)

[jfs]

\pos($scenter,$smiddle\fad(0,300)

There is an end-parenthesis I don't see. (You're missing one.)

When you're retiming, none of the time-related variables will be correct any longer, that includes $send and other variations. (Reason: The variables' values are relative to the original line start, which is no longer the actual line start.)

Rather than \t(0,0,whatever) you can just use \t(whatever), I prefer doing that to make reading it easier.

I would make two lines of it instead of just one. The first line is a statically positioned one, where the syllable rests until it should fade out, and the other the actual fadeout.

!retime("syl2end",0,-400+($si-1)*50)!{\an5\be1\pos($scenter,$smiddle)}
!retime("postline", -400+($si-1)*50, -100+($si-1)*50)!{\fry0 \t(\fry90\alpha&HFF&) \an5\be1\pos($scenter,$smiddle)}

Jfs thanks for the explanation about retime, and thanks for the two lines! It's exactly what i wanted to do!

I feel quite stupid i didn't think about it means that i have to practice more and more.

TheFluff thanks to you too ^__^ Now i can finish my new karaoke

Hey, I wondered if you guys could help me with SSA karaoke structure. I just wanted to do the karaoke of Toradora OP (Coalguys) and wondered how would I apply the Karaoke style to the {\kf} tags?

When I encode this, the karaoke does not show up. I think obviously because I have not linked it to the 'Karaoke' style. How would I do that?

Thanks for the time! Peace.

P.S. -> I have read the SSA manual, does not give me an answer...

[sa547]

I think there's a thread that deals with karaoke effect questions:
http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=13795

[aeonsky]

Thanks for the link.

Found the answer. Put the following in front of the karaoke (from black to white fillup)...

{\1c&HFFFFFF&\2c&H000000&}

Also, for some reason {\kf} doesn't work, use {\K}!

ohh karaoke help

that's want i need

im beginner in karaoke and my 1st lesson was the timing

and i learn it and it was easy

but now i want effect in worlds aFter the timing

and i want effect break the words after it read

or star break words like in soul Eater karaoke

and Tnx

[[darkfire]]

Please, Please learn who to type... I had pain reading that request.

You want the effects or you want to learn. Your not getting the first. And we need to see what you know before giving you some tips.

How do think in plain English a break-away karaoke would be done.

Shapes moving at varying speeds in random directions. It is rather quite simple if you build up from basic knowledge. Advance Karaoke is pretty much basic techniques mixed and matched and piled one on top of the others.

I advise you to read aegisub's manual.

[tekkyy]

I have a question about something a bit more basic

some karaoke fill animation changes the colour of both body and border of the words as the animation sweeps from left to right

can you do that with the ASS/SSA format?

eg. light coloured text \kf fills into dark coloured text
if I choose a dark border, the contrast is bad after the word is sung
if I choose a light border the contrast is bad before the word is sung

ideally you would want a different border colour before and after the \kf fill animation

[getfresh]

you can using \clip

[tekkyy]

oh I see

so like have two sets of identical text
A. black text with white border
B. white text with black border

and then use \t and \clip, and slowly cover up more and more of A while revealing more and more of B?

I hope this is the right place, as I've already made one mistake, I don't like stepping on toes or giving moderators work xD

I've been learning Aegisub since the 14th, and things have been going pretty well. Karaoke is a lot of fun to make, and grasping it's syntax was really easy. However I hit an issue with it.

For example, using a fontsize increase, then having it go back to it's original side makes the entire line bounce when the syllable increases, rather than just that syllable.

I noticed that if I put the text at the bottom then use margin to put it up top I could minimize how much the line bounces around, but it still does it very slightly.


Basically, is there anyway that I can have only the current syllable increase upward, and the rest of the line stay in that exact vertical position (obviously it will need to expand horizontally).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Instead of writing template line, use template syl, and then in your template, include the tag {\pos($x, $y)}

Wow it was that simple? I feel slightly dumb... thank you though ^_^

At least you knew to ask. It took me 3 months to figure that out. >.<

[ASR1FanSubs]

arghhh *pulls hair* I just starter using Aegisub and I was wondering how to do karaoke effects and reading all this kinda blows me away >_< feels like a test.....................
are there any video tutorials?
I starter reading from the begining but most link dont work anymore

[jfs]

Do note that this thread itself is older than Aegisub, I think you need to go to at least page 16 before you'll find anything that even mention Aegisub

I think you'll learn more by reading the Aegisub forums at http://forum.aegisub.net/.
