You *really* want to do it in substation alpha if you want any type of karaoke. Doing it manually in AfterEffects is painful and resource intensive.

The way you would do karaoke would be to first time (inside substation alpha if you wish) the length of each line of karaoke. You would then time how long each syllable would last and insert that in to the line. Lastly, if you need effects for the karaoke, read the specifications from the vobsub package.

Now, if only avisynth can use some of those snazzy AE filters

SubStation Alpha - not free, or is it?

That's kinda what I was thinking, too - some subbing progs. Do these free and effective subbing softs exist?
