Karaoke Help thread

[getfresh]

Ok, I know this is a way late reply, but whatever.

The reason I have always said hand code is not to tell them it is the best way to do it, but it is the best way to LEARN what all the commands do and gain a COMPLETE understanding of them. Anyone here who knows a programming language will tell you that you must learn the language first at it's most basic level. You don't grab a auto-scripter and just start going. I continued to code by hand out of stuburnness because that is just how I am. I got tired of trying the "31 flavors" of ass-generators that came out over the years. And to the comment of "oh I never saw YOUR name in credits", I don't care lol, I didn't do my work to gain recognition from people. I did it cause I really enjoyed fansubbing at the time. And just cause I act cocky and mess with people doesn't mean you have to get all myspace/emo defensive. You all are starting to take a hobby WAY to seriously.

but like, karaokes are the shits
the quality of a fansub is obviously messured by the amount of colors and effects a karaoke has.

Well personally I use scripts. Cause I don't have the time to hand code. And with the scripts to do "cool" effects you need to know some algebra and know how all the overides work.

[Takeru]

Can anyone here instruct me on how to change the font and font color in the simple k-replacer in the Aegisub Automator. I can't figure it out. And also if you would be so kind as to tell me how to make the color change during the time that the syllable being sung is (in this case) rotating?

Thanks to all.

If by changing font you mean font face, that's best done in the style definition (use the Style Manager to change that) since the font face can't be animated either way. If you want to animate the font size you should use the \fscx and \fscy tags.

Just changing the colour as part of the karaoke effect you can use something such as {\t($start,$end,\1c&H0000FF&} which will make the fill colour pure red for effect.
But if you mean what I think you might do by that "rotating", that colour should change all the time between a lot of different ones, that's not something well suited for simple-k-replacer. In fact not well suited for any of the factorybrew scripts.

with my script seam that karaskel-adv.lua dont set good the position of each words... some have too mutch space between other too less...
I've aegis 1.10

[Sylf]

Did you put {\k0} in front of each space?

[jfs]

I compiled a small checklist for when you get wrong syllable-spacing with Automation here on the Aegisub wiki.

That's close to what I want, but what I'm actually meaning is that when [in the example of a regular karaoke with no extra effects] you change the color of the text from say green to white, would I just use something like
{\[color hexcode]\t($start,$end,\[color hexcode])} ?

[jfs]

If you mean a karaoke without per-syllable positioning you'll also want a \r tag before that, to cancel out the previous \t's.

[GokuSoul]

Wait how do you do this effect http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/8...ticalquna4.gif do you put something into the \k replacer?

[chaos4ever]

comment retracted, since it doesn't answer the original inquiry.

please delete. sorry

[GokuSoul]

Just tell me how to do it please.

If you read the thread and put some effort into learning the tags/commands you would know how.. Don't be laaaazy.~

What do you mean i'm asking how to do it.

[jfs]

And he's telling you that if you take the effort to figure it out yourself you'll learn so much that you probably won't ever have to ask a similar question again. Actually, this effect is very simple both visually and in implementation. As far as I can tell it takes just two layers.

Spoiler for what I see in the gif:

This took me all of about 5-10 seconds to figure out. Very simple if you just known the tools. Learn the tools. I'm not giving you any actual code, only a guideline on what's happening in that effect.
1. Main layer that's visible for each syllable all the time. It has the unfilled?) outline of the syllables and gets the blue fill after highlight. The change to blue fill can be done using \k or \t(\1c) or \t(\1a) depending on exact effect wanted and personal preference.
2. Flash layer only visible during highlight. Starts off at ~120% of the regular text height, has white border and fill, alpha fades out during highlight and resizes to 100% height during highlight. It stays at 100% width at all times.
What isn't shown in that gif is whether or not the effect includes fade-in or fade-out effects, ie. what happens when a line enters or leaves the screen.

[GokuSoul]

Okay I got the first layer(the one that is not filled) but can you re-explain how to do the flasy layer please.

[jfs]

Flash appears at start of highlight. Flash has fill and border visible, both being white all the time. Flash fill and border alpha start at fully visible at start of highlight. Flash height starts at 120%. Flash shrinks to 100% height and fades entirely invisible during highlight.
Exactly as it's shown on the gif. I'm really doing nothing but writing down a description of what I see and some random numbers I'm just guessing at. It's not much fun just copying other people's effects anyway... I think it's much more fun to figure out how to do things myself.

I hope other people have faced it, but the purpose of karaoke effects in fansubs today is largely "e-penis", showing off "l33t sk1llz", just like demoscene demos and "cracktros" are. And copying what other people are doing is generally not "l33t"
