[Inan]

[CodeZTM]

I'll put the finishing touches on my beta tomorrow evening or Wednesday night.

[Kenzichu]

I might be interested ^_^ allow me to sample the track and I'll get back to you

[Kenzichu]

I would love to edit this track ^_^
I would like to claim Clannad (i wanna use Clannad After Sotry too..please please?) Although i have a question, when should the credit's kick in..?
also, are simple credits okay?

[TwilightChrono]

Well credits can kick in whenever, as long as they kick in at some point during the track. I would like the credits to have a little flare, but not over the top. But not too plain either. I guess that track would be half track half credits? It's really up to the person doing the track TBH.

EDIT: I also thought of a good idea or at least hope it's a good idea for the video as a whole. You know those subtitles than fan-subs have at the intro's of each episode of the anime? you know, where the text wibbles or wobbles or changes color in sync with the lyrics to the song?

Like This for example:

i thought maybe we could do this for the video. As long as we don't make it too distrating, I think it might kinda add that personal touch or something. Anyone what do you guys think? Can it be done? And how?

I'm sure it might be easier in other programs, but in vegas specifically, you have to do two layers for each syllable. I just did it on my part, for the "Ooh, I need you baby," And there are 12 layers for the words, and the other four are audio and video.

It changes color in sync to each syllable, so you need one layer for the color-change (or whatever), and one for the original syllable. It's very time consuming in vegas, and I spent around 20 minutes doing just that one section. Plus I just chose random colors, fonts, and stuff. I made it really simple and copied that one opening where silhouettes of the words kind of jump off and stuff.

Also, other phrases, such as "Kimi no koe ga keitai de" have 11 "syllables" So you're going to need around 25+ layers, considering other phrases might have even more.
And doing the whole song will probably take 6+ hours. At least that's how long I would take, because I'm pretty slow.
But it can be done. We'd just have to figure out a color for the subtitles that would work with all parts, and also what would happen when we sync it to the syllable (will it jump, will it glow? etc.) And someone who's got the time lol

I'm sure there is a more efficient way, but this is the way I discovered in vegas.


Oh, and if we do end up doing this, I think we should offer a subtitled and non-subtitled version for release. People tend to go either way.

Ouch, that's a lot of work.
