ignore them for now, as we're more interested in row timing for now. Try "play selected" button on top, which will play everything between yellow and red line, and use the 4 sets of left/right arrows in upper right to adjust (one set is 0.1 sec, the other set os 0.01 sec) until you're satisfied. LEFT CLICK (yellow line) on the wav form where you hear the words start, and RIGHT CLICK (red line) on the where the words end, for the entire line. Your text will also appear in the "grid" below as a new row. Don't edit them, you'll adjust them later. Hit enter, and the program will automatically insert some timing markups. Step 4) Type in the lyrics in the text box next to "Reset Karaoke" button. You probably did not split and elimintate one of the tracks (thus still stereo), didn't download sample to 11 KHz (by changing project sampling rate), or save as 8-bit PCM WAV. NOTE: If SSA complains that it cannot read the WAV file, you did not generate the mono 8-bit 11 KHz file successfully. When you're satisfied you've loaded the right file, it's time to get the lyrics in. Feel free to hit PLAY and STOP a bit to play with the file (some pun intended). In the example above, it was Testing2.wav. Now hit OPEN (the one next to STEP BACK), and load the 8-bit 11 KHz WAV file we generated. You need to go into WAV timing mode from Timing menu. If it's the first time you used it, don't be intimidated by all the buttons. Step 3) We now go into Sub Station Alpha. As example, I called it "Testing2.wav" This file can then be used by Sub Station Alpha for the text. Now, do File / Export to WAV, and save as a different name. Make sure WAV setting is set to 8-bit.Īnd finally, make sure the project sampling rate is down to 11025 Hz, by clickong on the sampling rate in the bottom status bar, and pick the lower rate. You do that by going to File / Preferences. Now we need to set the sample rate, and force 8-bit WAV file. And voila, you're left with only 1 wave track. Climb the bottom wave, then do Project / Remove Tracks (or just hit the X of that track). You should see two waveforms, as this is a stereo track.Ĭlick on that little triangle for the drop-down menu. So, start Audacity, and load the file, or in this case, "testing.wav". Step 2) We need to convert this WAV we saved, which is likely Stereo and 16 bit, to 8-bit mono WAV, and we'll need Audacity to do that. Hit the "Save Wav" button, enter a filename, and save the sound portion only as a WAV. So open VirtualDubMod, and load your video. Step 1) First, we need to generate WAV file of the music video for timing purposes. Then we do full processing and create a new file. Once we are satisfied, we'll load the SSA file into the subtitler plug-in in VirtualDubMod and see how it looks onscreen, and keep tweaking it until it's good. Then we'll go into Karaoke mode and start adjusting the timing of individual words to correspond to the song. Once we got the WAV in, we can then start filling in the lyrics, lining up the lines with the words. To do that, we'll have to generate the WAV file for SSA, by pulling it out of the AVI or MPG file with VirtualDubMod, then use Audacity (or any other audio editor) to convert it into a format SSA accepts. We will use Sub Station Alpha's "WAV timing mode" as it's much more intuitive to time the lyrics and words by sound. * quite a bit of time, as this can take a while to tweak! * the Lyrics (easy enough to find via Google), save that in notepad somewhere for use later. * The music video itself (in a format VirtualDubMod can read, such as MPG or AVI) For example, Nero WaveEditor is a WAV editor that can convert much simpler than Audacity. If you know what a mono 8-bit 11.5 KHz PCM WAV file is, and can convert some other WAV file to that format, you can use whatever audio tool you are comfortable with. full processing, filters, audio compression, and so on. This guide assumes that you are somewhat familiar with basic operations of VirtualDub, such as stream copy vs. NOTE: If you have Gabest's TextSub filter (which is a part of the VSFilter package) that should also work. NOTE: By permanent, the words are permanently added to the video to the appropriate frames. If you want a TRUE Karaoke word transition, this is not for you. The words simply change color with appropriate timing. Normal karaoke words turn color one row of pixel at a time as the new color kinda. NOTE: By simple, the words don't transition. This guide will describe how to add simple permanent karaoke text to a music video using Sub Station Alpha, VirtualDubMod, the Subtitler plug-in for VirtualDub, and Audacity, an audio editor. (This is my first guide, so some editing is required.
