![]() It has to be readable before anything else, so no ultra thin lines, and no crazy borders thicker than the main font. For the default font, don't try to invent anything much. Reasonable left/right margin for 720p is around 80-110 reasonable vertical margin (that means both top and bottom) is around 30.Īlignment is obviously 2 for the default subs. If you actually need that explained, give up on being a typesetter and save us the trouble of trying to teach you. I don't suppose I have to explain why it's bad if the margins are either too small or too large. Transparency is the black/white vertical slider and/or the "Alpha" box with the "200" on the right. In Aegisub 3.0 and later it looks like this when you click on the colour: (Check some Hadena releases from around 2011. ![]() Clearly 0 for Primary (and secondary), possibly a low non-zero value for Outline, if you know what you're doing (but recommended 0), and something in the range of 120-200 for the shadow (still talking about default font), because shadow with no transparency will make you look like some retard who learned typesetting in Hadena. 0 is fully visible, 255 is fully invisible. Under the colours, you see boxes with zeroes where you can set transparency for each of the colours. Shadow colour should clearly be black, because things really don't cast green shadows. Again, for the default font, use black or something dark. ![]() Secondary colour is mostly just for karaoke, therefore quite irrelevant. You may think something else looks cool, but it won't seem so cool when you have to read it for 20 minutes. I strongly suggest you don't use anything other than white for the default font. Primary colour is obviously the main one. You will not use Italic for the default font, because that's dumb, and you will most certainly not use Underline and Strikeout, because that's even a lot dumber and only jdp does that. (duh)ĭepending on what kind of font you choose, you may want to check the box for Bold, since some fonts look bad in regular mode but good in bold. It shouldn't be too big so that you don't get 3-liners, and it shouldn't be too small 'cause then you can't read it. To determine what the right size is, you can use a long line from an existing script, and just see how it looks with the size you want. Even if you were in a group that does 720p and 480p 1080p, I'd still recommend making scripts in 720 (or 1080), since it will work for 480p just the same and lets you have more detail in almost everything. That is related to script resolution, which will usually be 1280x720. It should also have real italics and should contain all necessary punctuation characters. So you need one that is easy to read, doesn't have any distracting, unnecessary decorative elements, and isn't ugly. This is an important choice, because you'll be using the font for all episodes of the show and people will have to be able to read it. It already exists when you open Aegisub, but looks terrible, so you'll modify it. You do that in the Styles Manager / Styles Editor, which looks like this:įirst you need a Default style, which will be used for all the regular lines. The first thing you'll want to do before you start typesetting is to create some styles.
