Damn!! All I've been seeing for these few days are blu-Rei rips.

From the 20th - 30th, those are the common trends, due to DVD release dates.

SFW is doing Queen's Blade.

And I quote myself...

Rumi did that FF:AC - On the Way to a Smile: Denzel. I'm not sure if there's any more to come, though.

AWESOME! Let's see, about 3 or 4 more months until the first season is complete?

Who cares how long, as long as they keep releasing we're all happy.

That's also true. I'd love to have it by x-mas. =]

Queen's Blade released BD 3 on share like... 2 days ago. So, it'll probably be over by later November.

Hi

I'm almost finished with Air BDs. I'm at episode 12 (and I've already done the two specials). Does someone has a nice font for the OP and ED? That's the only thing left (that, spell checking and check that I didn't miss anything

).

I'm gonna send you Mio, in a package, sealed, never been touched, virgin ready to pop that cherry. I'll warp only a red silk strap around her body and tie it around her breasts for you to unlock when you open that package. She is all Mo'e, of course. Now ... I want AiR! On Blu-ray! >_<!!!

Thank you very much. I appreciate the 'little' gift

. I'm finishing the part of the Aozora song. In the original subs there were repeated lines and everything was mixed (song and subs). Now I have all nice and clean. The problem I have now is that the first line appears below and the second one goes above. When the first line is the sub and later appears the song line, the song appears on top of the sub. I want the song to always appear below the subs. I tried the {\an2} tag but it has no effect.

Screenie:

Tomorrow I'll see what can I do. I'm very tired now. Yesterday was a long day for me

PS: Is the font too big? I like big fonts (easier for me to see from a distance).

Tatsujin · « **Reply #169 on:** August 30, 2009, 04:53:15 AM »

It is a bit too big.

Edit -- Two blu-ray rips encoded with English subs (using fansubs most likely) are up on TT .... for Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu and Second Raid! I just saw a part in Fumoffu and I laughed so hard! It brings back memories ...

I'll reduce the size then. Btw, forget about the previous post. I fixed the problem by duplicating and combing a couple of lines and using the reset tag. I still have a few signs left, but now I'm going to sleep

EDIT:
The one in the last post was 68 for the sub and 60 for the song.

Sub: 60 Song: 55

Sub: 55 Song: 50

Which one do you like?

These mean subs don't let me sleep

. What do I do?

Tatsujin · « **Reply #171 on:** August 30, 2009, 05:44:48 AM »

Try 40. They're still a bit large. What's your resolution and are you encoding it in 1080p or 720p? Might wanna check any blu-ray fansub files you have and see their fonts.

Essedus · « **Reply #172 on:** August 30, 2009, 07:05:31 AM »

Agreed, the fonts are still a little to large.

vuzedome · « **Reply #173 on:** August 30, 2009, 07:09:53 AM »

i'd go with 30 or 25.

Yea, let's see how they'd turn out.

Sosseres · « **Reply #175 on:** August 30, 2009, 07:23:49 AM »

Around 40 should be fine I think, though I like larger subs since I often watch series from a bit away.

Those used R1 subs and are probably dual audio

It depends on what font you use, too. Some fonts look huge at 40, and others look normal to small. 35-40 should work well, but try watching from 6-8 feet (or 2m) away and see how it looks for an extended period of time. Then adjust it up a point or two to compensate for people with less than perfect vision. Random pet peeve, but I think too many fansub stylists base their "readability" assessment on the subs as viewed while sitting at a monitor staring intently at Aegisub, rather than normal viewing conditions.

If you want moar advice on styling, here's what I would suggest:
* A simple sans-serif font, nothing too fancy.
* White* text with black outlines + black shadows, with shadows set to 50% transparency. Outlines should be completely opaque. Please no "white with blue outlines to fit with the anime" -- I remember watching the Koi TV-fansubs that were styled like that, and several times being in a state of "crying so hard I couldn't read the subtitles."
* Vertical margin of 30-40, or at least something greater than the default 10 that most fansubs seem to use. If the subs are higher in the image, people don't have to keep "bouncing" their vision up and down to read subs at the very bottom of the screen, and can take in the visuals more efficiently. Some would say "well that blocks the image with subtitles," but subs are going to cover up some of the artwork no matter what. May as well avoid gluing people's eyes to the bottom of the screen. Besides, the human eye can interpolate areas that get obscured by subtitles.

*Yellow works too, but I know that people haet it...

That's not surprising, considering that you'd have to OCR hardsubs or transcribe+retime to get fansub scripts from Fumoffu or TSR. (Maybe KAA's subs, but idk if they used fansubs or R1 subs.) Either one is a damn tedious process; I just OCRed 2 hardsubbed files, while 9 episodes of another show played on my TV.

What happened to old fashion pen and paper plus timing from scratch?

Sakura90 · « **Reply #179 on:** August 30, 2009, 03:11:51 PM »

Thanks all for the comments. The thing is, I have a 19" 5:4 monitor and my vision is far from good. Maybe that's why I tend to use large fonts. I'll try with 35-40 and post the results later.

That takes way too much time, time that I don't have. I prefer doing something more simple and finish it in a reasonable amount of time, than doing everything from scratch and take years just to do one series. Also it seems no one is going to finish Air any time soon.
