I just had my physics common test today. Biology is up tomorrow. My suffering is almost over! ã¶ãƒV
Anyway, I spent my time yesterday practising karaoke styling instead of revising physics. I rock at life. This time it’s Mirage Lullaby by YURIA, the PC-version OP of SHUFFLE!.

Read on if you are interested in the technical stuff.
The fade-to-grey effect is really just a modified version of 6-simple-effect.lua that is included with Aegisub. I added a bunch of \fad() and \move() for the movement. I was actually going to make something funkier with spins and stuff, but it’s too time consuming and I’m too lazy to write my own Lua script to speed things up.
Comparing this to my YoakeMae OP…
One line of ro-maji in YoakeMae:

I have never really paid much attention to the various Vobsub syntax documentations before this, but now that I have, it seems to me that it has a fricking lot of limitations (such as no overlapping of \t timings and one \move per line) and typesetters use all sorts of crazy hacks to achieve the results they want, usually involving multiple layers of the same line formatted and clipped in various manners. Of course, the smarter ones use Adobe After Effects instead… but that’s not hardcore and pure enough!
Moral of the story: Learn Lua or die when you try to manually time funky karaoke effects in microseconds.
I wanted to start a karaoke project but the AMVs themselves are the worst part of the whole thing. I hate video editing. BTW why do you have to script in Aegisub? I thought it’s rather brainless GUI?
Hell no. Aegisub is superior to notepad in every possible way even if you refuse to use the features it offers because it feels too much like cheating.
It lets you view your changes in realtime, time the basic karaoke (\k only) real fast and then add in the funky effects with a Lua automation script.
LoL! DM sure has loads of time. Wish I had time to do those stuffs.
DM >> Tutorial!
If you want a Direct Download of the OP movie (without subs) you can go here:

It’s in the videos section. We’ve also got the Shuffle! On The Stage OP movie and loads of others from various Japanese games. Just register with us and you’re away!
GG DM ! ~
(And Aegisub roox ! ;) )
It’s real fun when your friend, whom without karaoke experience but has some experience with subtitling (esp. aegisub), see that kind of karaoke….
The effect you created should be doable with only k-replacer though… :P
OMG MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL WAS TODAY!!!!! NO MORE SCHOOL FOR EVER!!!! W00000000T!!!!!!!!! I’M GONNA DRINK TIL I CAN’T TELL REAL LIFE FROM ANIME!!!!
Also, does anyone know if the shuffle game has been unofficially translated yet?
Yes. Visit http://www.gamepatch.se
“Moral of the story: Learn Lua or die when you try to manually time funky karaoke effects in microseconds. ”
SO true.
I tried doing more fancy stuff with my first (and only, so far) “project” (Baldr Force EXE OP) and reverted to simple /kf shortly afterwards.
Maybe when I do Duel Savior (Justice), I’ll try again… though,#1 I have tests atm (not that big problem) and #2 just started playing Brighter than dawning blue (which makes learning for #1, well, not a priority by any means :lol: )

Well I’m having problems in making my own karaoke project because I don’t really have the correct tools to do it. I might do one when I am not busy and will give a link to this blog site.
Thanks for the great technical information. I am also having problems in my project. It’s great to know that I am not the only one
