Hello everybody. I am working on my first subtitling project with Aegisub. I am trying to figure out how to give my subtitles some effects. I can't find a good tutorial and the manual is not clear enough for me. I really appreciate it if you can share your expertise with this student.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Hi Erika,

Aegisub uses the .ASS subtitling format (Advanced SubStation Alpha), which supports some advanced subtitling effects. You can look up this format to learn more about its possibilities.

Hi Erika,

Disclaimer: Please note Aegisub is not being developed anymore for some time now.

Aegisub uses the .ASS subtitling format (Advanced SubStation Alpha), which supports some advanced subtitling effects. You can look up this format to learn more about its possibilities.

In the Aegisub manual, you can find more information in the following sections:

Visual Typesetting: http://docs.aegisub.org/3.2/Visual_Typesetting/
Editing Styles: http://docs.aegisub.org/3.2/Styles/
Styling Assistant: http://docs.aegisub.org/3.2/Styling_Assistant/

Especially, "visual typesetting" is an important keyword for what you are looking for.

In the Tutorials section of the manual, there used to be a good video tutorial about Visual Typesetting. The video can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWzJ2E6-OE

Searching for "aegisub visual typesetting" (without the quotes) in a search engine is bound to give you some useful results.

Hope it helps,

Jean
