To get that effect just change the secondary colour to white at the beggining of the syllables time using {\t(start,start,\2c&HFFFFFF&)}

Does anyone know where I can get Wiki help for TenFX? I don't know how to use it very well ^^'
Thanks

OK BUT HOW DID HE DO IT
here's what i understood (I'm an idiot so bear with me plz)
the original one would be positioned like this {\pos(50,50)

{\pos(50,52)\t(0,0,\alpha&white color&
{\pos(50,54)\t(0,0,\alpha&white color&
{\pos(50,56)\t(0,0,\alpha&white color&

Hi mad ^^

I just found out how to apply the effect on the video with tenfex ... you need AVISynth to do this .

just add a refrence to the video , then call the tenfex function and give it two parameters , the first one is the (Fex) file , the second one is the (ass) file ...
something like this

avisource("x:\video.avi").ConvertToRGB32() # the video must be RGB
tenfex("X:\yourfexfile.fex","yourassfile.ass")

but there is something I don't know in this tool , it's ( How to compile my script to (fex )File ><

the compiler crash win I put the script into it !!!




oh yeah .... i don't think you'll find Wiki help><

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

Bot1 it works but i replaced the letter "O" with "WA" and it moved down when it grew so how can i make it stay still ?

[mad_cracker]

So, "yourfexfile.fex" file is the one that you cant compile? I get a crash too. I'll try out something. Thanks

yeah , I think you write the code in text doc with ANSI encoding, then drop it to the compiler and you will get the compiled fex File .

but it crashes as I said Before ><

just try the fex files that come with it , it's amazing !!

Below the effect text box ther's another text box where you have to select the style. Sorry if this were answered before.

thank you but can you say clearly
below the effect text box there is just "left margin " & "right margin" box where is "select the style" , and what does "to mension to the script the style you are using" 's meaning thank you very much

Hi, I've been going through all the pages and it's so useful ^^ I've learnt so much.

I'm currently trying to learn how to use effects, putting them on with Crumja's Karaoke helper, but for some reason, there's a part that won't go into the output file. I tried doing it seperately but it just comes out with a blank ssa file.

This is what I'm trying to put effects on:

The effect was premade, in the txt file along with the program:

\org(100,50000)\fs50\alpha&H22&\2a&HFF&
\frz0
\frz0.015\fs64\shad2
0.9

I don't understand why only this part doesn't work since the rest of it goes through. Any help would be so appreciated.

That karaoke helper program is quite buggy. I wouldn't use it. Lucky for you, there's other tools for simple ASS manipulation that you can use. SSATool, Karaoke Maker 3 and even Aegisub.

Well, below the effect box ther's another box which contains the styles of your karoke. You have to select the style of the karaoke you want to apply the effect.
More than this, you have to check the properties. The size of the video must be the same as the ass script. Check this Link. It talks about your problem.

You have to save it as .c file. Because it's c language. It worked with me.

[MexFX]

@Raix2

use simple-k-replacer instead of this tool ..

this tutorial may help you ,,,,,, and so this one

[Jewelray]

I'm trying to make really simple karaoke subs for a song (ie. just simple hiragana, romaji, and translation, no fancy effects or anything) but I'm starting just from a song with no video to go along with it. How do I take a song file and make a movie out of it (ie. a black background with just the song playing)? I tried windows movie maker but virtual dub won't open those files...

Sorry for the dumb question.

[jfs]

Avisynth is the answer. You can use the BlankClip() function to generate a black (or any other colour) video of any length.

[MexFX]

as jfs said avisynth is the best way

you can use this example

m_LENGTH = 500                     #Video Length   (in frames)                
m_WIDTH = 640                      #its Width                              
m_HEIGHT = 480                     #and Height                 
m_FRAMEPERSECOND = 25     #its Framerate   
m_COLOR = $000000             #and color (color must be hexadicimal )             



#make the clip with the information above

BlankClip(length = m_LENGTH, width = m_WIDTH, height = m_HEIGHT, fps = m_FRAMEPERSECOND, color =m_COLOR)

change the length to fit your song

Hi, I'd like to use some auto3 scripts I've downloded from the Aegisub's wiki, but I don't get them working with a simple \k line.
I've already read most of all the previous pages of this thread and I saw some piece of code from jfs, but again the same result : it doesn't work at all.

I read all the different tutorials about automation from Aegisub's wiki, but it doesn't explain how to make a script works.

So I'd like to know if someone could explain me the way to get a script working with auto3.


PS1 : I undersand the code for the different effects and not totally the one from the lua langage (I'm still a newbie in this field ^^)

PS2 : jfs, how can you go to this url from the main page of the wiki ?

[jfs]

Hmm, first, what version of Aegisub are you on? Lots of things have changed in current SVN versions from 1.10, Automation being one of the very changed things. I highly recommend you (and everyone else!) to try a pre-release version.
I'm not saying it'll fix your problem, it probably won't.

Can you describe "doesn't work" in better detail? (What do you do? What happens? What did you expect to happen?)


As for getting to the Karaoke inline fx page, here's how: Main Page -> Automation Tutorials -> Simple-K-replacer tutorial -> Updating to latest scripts -> Link to Karaoke inline fx is in the "changes" section. Yes it's hard to find.
Lots of information on the wiki is very outdated... we've just recently started a new wiki that will be used for the manual for Aegisub 2, it's the plan to have proper documentation for everything there. Including all those Automation topics
