They must always be Comment lines, and the first word in their Effect field must be template. Template lines are lines in the subtitle file marked in a special way.This is not the full explanation of everything, but it should be plenty for now. To finish off this first part of the tutorial, here's what each part means. Like this, you can work gradually on your effect and preview it as you go. You can also try changing the commented out timed karaoke and apply templates again. Karaoke Templater re-used the commented out timed karaoke and changed the styled karaoke to match the new effect instead. You can select them in your browser, select Edit_→_Copy, then go to Aegisub and select Edit_→_Paste, to get them into Aegisub. If you don't have any song to work with here are two lines from a song. When an effect has been applied to the karaoke we'll call it styled karaoke. We'll call song lyrics with basic karaoke timing (\k timing), but no other special effects, for timed karaoke. You can learn how to time karaoke at the Karaoke Timing Tutorial. You'll have to time the lyrics yourself, or get someone else to do it. Karaoke Templater can do many things for you, but it can't guess the lyrics for your song, or how they're synchronised with the music. You need to repair your installation in that case, to be able to use Karaoke Templater.īut there is something else to make sure of first. If you don't have the Apply karaoke template option, your Aegisub installation is either incomplete or damaged. Right now it's unavailable because you haven't entered any templates. This is what you'll select to use the "templates" we'll be writing throughout these tutorials. You should see the option called Apply karaoke template, though it will be unavailable. Look under the Automation menu in Aegisub. For now we'll just concentrate on one of them. You can run Karaoke Templater in two different ways. We'll start out with something simple and then continue on to more advanced effects throughout the series. Welcome to the first tutorial in using Karaoke Templater to create karaoke effects.
