Karaoke Help thread

That did not help me at all. Right now the only AFX thing I want to learn is karaokeing. My fansub group won't care about anything else. I've timed for over a year and have been k-timing since a month ago. The tutorials I've found don't work (or at least AFX won't cooperate). When I asked this question you responded to I'd wasted 3 hours of my day trying to figure it out and got nothing out of it, aside from a pain in the butt. I had other things to do for those 3 hours. I am a college student and don't have time to spend weeks on end putzing with one program. So excuse me for seeming a little impatient.

Like K!R4 said, that's not possibe. I can understand you want to do the fun part only, but like almost everything in life, you have to work first.

Sadly, you will have to. And if you don't want to invest time into learning the program, you should stop now and save yourself a lot of trouble.

ok nm got it to work after my brain had some time to work on it *has been up for over 24 hours at this point >_<* and relized that that is not what i was trying to do ;_; what i wanted was for the way to color then color again for each time it repeated >_< i'm starting to think that it might be afx >_<

Then you don't have time to learn how to make karaoke in AFX.

So true, so true.

I would link my tutorials but they are outdated (well except one) and probably wouldn't help seeing as you don't know how to use AFX in the first place. pichu made a tutorial too but he took it off youtube. Not sure why, I thought it was good...

I thought K!R4's post was right on the mark though, thats how we all learned, and most of us have better things to do than teach everyone else, half of us are college kids too.

PS: being rude doesn't make people want to help you.

*edit* here is my Aegisub version and r
Aegisub 2.1.7 (built from SVN revision 3131). */edit*

The furigana and multi-highlight syntaxes are not features of ASS subtitles, but of Aegisub's karaskel code, and only take any meaning when you process the text with a karaoke effect script that uses karaskel. Using kara-templater is the easiest way to do it.
You have to make an effect script or some effect templates and apply it, and make sure the original timed karaoke is not part of what gets rendered, for the multi-highlight syntax to take effect and the #'s to not be shown.

U mean for each repeat the highlight color changed?If so u can make some random colors appear with a randomizer each time the syl is highlighted.haven't tried this with multi-highlight,but if it reruns the script applying effects on extra lines that are the second,third,etc.. highlight of one syl, this should work.

[nekobouya]

@lelouchVII

ohhh thats a good idea i didn't even think of it i'll take a look and see if that does it ^^

[LelouchVII]

I got some code ready, that I used for some kara I did. If u can't make any that is

[nekobouya]

@LelouchVII
well i played around with it and got it to kinda work lol the only one that actually changes color is the last way >_< and i can't seam to get it to color the right way ether (it colors reverse of every thing else >_<)

[LelouchVII]

What are u using?

	for i = 1, numdebris do
		local dx = math.sqrt(math.random(syl.width*syl.width)) - syl.width/2

		local sx = line.centerleft + syl.center + dx
		local sy = 40 + dy
		local speed = math.random() * 3 + 2
		local ex = line.centerleft + syl.center + dx*speed
		local ey = 40 + dy*speed
		
		local l = copy_line(line)
		l.start_time = l.start_time + syl.start_time/10
		l.end_time = l.start_time + math.random(20,40)
		
		local color = line.styleref.color1
		if math.random() > 0.9 then
			color = line.styleref.color3
		end
		
		l.text = string.format("{\\move(%d,%d,%d,%d)\\t(\\1a&HFF&)\\bord0\\1c&H%s&\\p2}m 0 -3  l  3 0  0 3  -3 0", sx, sy, ex, ey, color)
		
		table.insert(result, l)
	end

How do I add that to Aegisub?

auto4 lua scripts.

put that code into it/etc >.>..

[jfs]

Actually that code is for Auto3, you can tell by the table.insert(result,l) line among other things.

If you don't know what to do with this, you have much more serious problems to work with. You have to crawl before you can compete in sprint in the Olympics.

Thank you! That was more along the lines of what I was looking for.

Well, you will most likely not learn anything if you keep on wasting your time here. I started writing JavaScript for AE even before knowing the application completely. After I understood the hierarchy, I started dwelling on the application itself. If you don't have the time, then stop fansubbing. I started fansubbing when I was pursuing a PhD because of my boredom at school. And now I don't see a reason to continue since there are too many stuff to do yet so little time. Being at school is what drives any of us to fansub; unless you're happy there, that's all I'm hinting you at.

[Kudo Shinichi]

Pls Help. Can Anyone tell me how to make text vertical in aegisub.?

[fireshark]

Rotate and use @ before the font name.

[TheFluff]

{\frz-90\fn@SomeFontName}Vertical text here

note: this only works with fonts that actually have an @-variant (i.e. most japanese/chinese fonts)
