Karaoke: Lesson 2

Lesson 2: Making karaoke easier

You just learned the basics of the karaoke tags, and after practicing a bit with a song, you kind it hard and time consuming to listen to the song and to make the estimations for the [duration] of the tag.

And easier way to do this is to use the Audio section of Aegisub. Use spectrum mode to make it easier to distinguish between syllables.



Just click on the karaoke button to enter karaoke mode. Use the Split button to split the words into syllables and and drag the yellow dotted lines to adjust the syllable's duration. When finished, click on the Commit Button to commit all changes.



That concludes Lesson 2. Next Lesson: Template Lines

For questions and other stuff, just comment on this post.

Karaoke: Lesson 1

Today, I shall explain and give out some tips and pointers in making karaoke files. I assume that you are using Aegisub with Automation 4.0.

LESSON 1: The Basics of \k

To make make a karaoke from the given line, we use the {\k[duration]} tag. The [duration] is the time in centiseconds. \k is used to change the color of the text from secondary to its primary color. For more info about ASS tags, check out http://aegisub.cellosoft.com/docs/ASS_Tags

Example, we have a line composed to the following words "yume o miru" without the quotation marks. To make a karaoke that changes the font color from red(default) to white(default) for a specific time, we use the {\k} tag
  • {\k20}yu{\k30}me {\k20}o {\k25}mi{\k50}ru 
As you can see, this means that the syllables will change colors within the specified duration. "yu" will change its color then wait for 20 centiseconds before going to the next syllable. "me" will change its color then wait 30 centiseconds before going to the next syllable and so on. 

There are also other tags used that is a variation of the original {\k[duration]} tag. These are the {\kf[duration]}, {\K[duration]}, and {\ko[duration]}. \kf and \K are the same. Instead of change the color instantaneously, they change the color from the leftmost edge of the syllable to the rightmost edge for the duration. \ko is the same as \k only that instead of the fill color, the outline color is changed.

That concludes lesson 1 for creating karaoke. Next Lesson: Making karaoke easier
