Ok, need some help. I was recommended Aegisub a few months ago here on this site. I've finally got around to using it and it does exactly what I need. However, I have a few questions:

- When editing the existing subtitles of a particular episode I will load the episode into Aegisub and then make the corrections. When I'm finished I'll save this new corrected subtitle file. Let's call it "01 Corrected" being that I save it as that. I'll then use the MKVtoolnix to mux everything back together. Now I have my episode with all of its original files and my corrected subtitle file. I'll then open the episode, right-click the VSFilter icon on my task bar and select the corrected subtitle file. In this case it will be titled something like "S:Undetermined" and be at the bottom. I'm wondering if there is any way to change that to a title of my choice? For example, "S:01 Corrected." Or am I stuck with "S:Undetermined."

- Finally, some of my videos contain both the English dub and Japanese dub. Of course it also has an English subtitle file. Let's say one of my episodes opens with the Japanese dub and the default English subtitle file by default. However, I would like it to open with the Japanese dub and my corrected subtitle file, is there anyway I can do this?

Thanks!

Pass --language "<trackno>:<language code>" --track-name "<trackno>:<description>" --default-track <trackno>:yes as arguments to mkvmerge. Users can specify their own preferences in players though, e.g. Japanese dub over English dub or Korean subtitles over Chinese, etc.

If you're using the GUI: drop the files you want to include on it, then click your new subtitle track and just type in the track name, select a language and under "default track flag" select "yes". Then, click the original track and set default track flag to "no". This determines which track is the default, if you have two or more of the same type (video, audio, subtitles).

You could also just untick the original track and use your corrected one instead, if you were so inclined.

I hope you can help me with a mysterious timing problem. If I try scenetiming with aegisub with one special workraw (other files were working correctly) the keyframes kinda change. I mean they are actually at the same time, but the video changes. One time its exactly on the beginning of the scene but if I look back a little later its often one frame before or after the scenechange. And this jumps forwards and backwards each time I try. So I try to scenetime to see later that everything is out of scenes...
Please help me to find out what's causing this problem. Because I'm really in doubt about the condition of my mind
BTW... its not the aegisub version or my computer, I tried different versions on different PC's - its the same.

in case it helps, here are the gspot settings of this workraw file:

thanks, lynn

The file has B-frames. Try a file without B-frames.
The AVI container was never designed to hold video formats that use B-frames, therefore it can't handle it entirely correct, and it can cause problems like that.

Or you could pack the bitstream with MPEG4Modifier.

or you could make sure you're not accidentally using directshowsource or something

@jfs - thx, it will be reencoded, I hope it will help

@martino - pack the bitstream? I thought packed bitstream is bad? but the tool is nice btw^^

@TheFluff - how can I make sure? If avisynth is enabled in the directshowsource settings, will aegisub also use it (automatically)?

Well, your ideal workraw is without b-frames and unpacked. Packed just makes sure that there won't be any trouble, like you had, when you have b-frames. Otherwise I don't know what's supposed to be bad about it.

I have a question:
Could you tell me the karaoke script that make each letter in a syllable flys in each directions? For example: the word "Snow", "Snow" gets dark and then: "S" flies down, "n" flies up,"o" flies left, "w" flies right... Give me scripts in *.lua (not all, just syllable effect) so that I can use Automation (faster) ^^
If in this thread someone has already explained this, please give me the link to that answer. Thanx

What do you mean by the script? You know, there isn't just one way, there's pretty much an infinite number of different ways to do that.

If you're using Karaoke Templater, make sure you're using 'syl' templates, then just stick 'char' onto the modifier list in the Effect field. Such that you have something like: template syl char
That makes is treat each character as a "virtual syllable", but never mind that. It means that if you eg. stick a random function into a \move on that template, each character will get its own value instead of just each syllable.
Try it.

I have a question about an option in the "script properties" window in aegisub: "scale border and shadow". Wherever this option is checked or unchecked, I can't see the difference. Do anyone know what this is supposed to do exactly?

Controls how outline and shadow widths are drawn. If disabled, they are given in video resolution pixels (meaning that using the script with a higher resolution video will make all borders/shadows look thinner). If enabled, they are given in script resolution pixels instead (meaning that outlines and shadows will look the same no matter the resolution). The latter is usually what you want.

You only see the difference ScaledBorderAndShadow makes when the script resolution is different from the rendering (video) resolution. For example, if you use the same subtitle file to hardsub on a 1280x720 and on a 640x360 video, or if you view softsubs with the MPC built-in renderer.

I see. But what is the script resolution? Isn't it the one you usually match with the video resolution? So if the resolution is the same, is the difference noticeable?

edit: i think jfs gave me the answer

oh wow, I have not used Aegis in about a year and the new Visual Typesetting tools are amazing!
I don't remember how to typeset much, but is there a simple way to have text scroll from right to left without doing it in karaoke or using drag feature?
