I've been curious for a long time as to what program(s) are used to make the karaoke for the into and outro for the some of the anime subbed by this team.
I know how to subtitle, I've been doing it for a while.
But it seems to me that there is a totally different program used for karaoke.
Example being:
A normal subtitle is just words on the bottom of the screen,
Karaoke can have the color changing with the timing, or a certain letter or charector shrinking or fading.
Thanks.
substation alpha does karaoke timing.
Learn substation alpha inside and out, and you'll be halfway there. For effects applied to it, you'll also need to know a bit about textsub.
Yah I have substation alpha and I have neen using it for a little bit now.
And for textsub... are you talking about a program? If so please include a link to their homepage please.
their homepage kinda blows.
Textsub is the full-featured ASS (advanced substation) subtitle renderer. It's what pretty much all fansubbers use to actually apply subs to stuff. Textsub is actually a subset of Vobsub.
There's docs that you can read in the install directory that'll tell you about all the effects and specs and syntax. They're a dense read, but playing with them and experimenting is the only way you're going to be any good at that.
The official homepage seems to blow, a lot. Just google for vobsub, and pay attention when you're installing it.
Yea, as complich8 says, ssa and textsub is your friend. When installing VobSub, hopefully you will get a popup asking you to define your virtualdub folder. After that, you just pretty much add the script with the textsub filter in virtualdub/nandub. Tell me if this was a little bit unclear, kinnda wrote it in a hurry.

I were just going to ask the same question like bechstein did, but, know i got another one... Where can i find this "SubStation Alpha"? link please!
EDIT: No, dont worry, i found SSA, know, ill go after VobSub
haha! answering your own questions is totally the way to go.
Wierd program... i dont get it! do anyone know a guide at the internet for Sub Station Alpha?
timecop's digisub guide ( http://pepper.idge.net/digisub.html ) might be a good place to start.
