Aegisub Help thread

Somehow I hate to use color red in subtitles, as the encodes in YV12 colorspace will have problems with reds more than any other colors.

You should try to tint your red with a bit of blue or green to reduce color bleeding in red (i.e., gear your hue away from red).

Thanks =p I've decided to just go with white and gray instead of white and red.

Hey. I have a few questions if you can answer for me. I want to use a different font thats not in aegisub. I want to use Syntax LT but it doesn't work. I see other groups using this font in aegisub but it doesn't work for me. It worked only once..what can I do?(sorry if this doesn't make sense.. I don't really know how to describe it.) It's also my first time using it so I don't know how to use it that much. Thanks if you can help.

Install that font on your PC.

[LacusClyneX]

I already did. It still doesn't work...

i had this problem before, you need to get an updated version of aegisub, in the styles box there is a drop down menu that says 'encoding', try using each one and press apply to see if your font comes up.

It still doesn't have the font I'm looking for. It only worked once and after I closed it to see if it still worked and its gone...what kind of file do I need to work in aegisub? The file of the font is .otf...anyone know a good site to download free fonts?

[dwigga]

Just search in google "download free fonts" and u'll find a tons of sites.

I tried it already and it still doesn't work.. Is there any other way? Does the font file matter?

[dwigga]

Try using a font with .ttf extension and change the encoding type in the styles manager to ANSI or Default.

[LacusClyneX]

I don't know why, but it's still not working....

[Sylf]

Can any other applications on your PC see that particular font, such as WordPad?

[LacusClyneX]

none of them can see the fonts... the font file was ttf and it still doesn't work....

[Sylf]

Then it doesn't sound like the font is installed properly on your PC. Make sure you drag and drop the font file in your c:\windows\fonts folder (or whatever system font folder).

try changing position to \pos($scenter,$smiddle)

How do you use karaoke in aegisub? I don't get how you use it...

[MasterKommander]

well here is a really simplified explanation:

1. First time the whole line
2. After that is done, while staying on that line press the karaoke button. if you look at the audio view, your timed line has been marked for every word.
3. From there you just time each word.

Once you get that down, you can go as far as spliting up every syllable, then later one once you have mastered all of that you can try adding effects.

[LacusClyneX]

I can't find the karaoke button...

[dwigga]

You have to load an audio file first.
