Are you used to watching anime and do you like to sing the opening, closing, and in-anime songs? If you end up watching anime with a speedsub, you won’t find the lyrics to the song. Sometimes, if it's a qualitysub, then you will have that karaoke with special effects. For example: the syllables spinning, disappearing, catching fire, etc.
Sometimes we want a full karaoke video of the song, and we can't find it on YouTube. Or maybe you want the lyrics written in Japanese, or even an AMV with the lyrics? In this article, we will talk about a program that will help you, called Aegisub.

What is Aegisub?
Aegisub is originally used for subtitling anime. Since our site does not support piracy, we will not discuss this much in this article. We will only encourage you to subtitle your songs, openings, and endings.
Basically, to create a karaokê you will only need a video and grab the lyrics from the internet or even put your own translated lyrics if you know the language of the lyrics. To make effects and transitions in the subtitles, you will need to have a bit of knowledge of the program's tags and in the Lua language.
The program is available for all operating systems. The installation is very simple. After the installation, you will soon need to choose an opening or clip of your choice to do the karaoke.
Advantages of Aegisub - With this program, you can be able to:
- Legendary anime, movies, series, and videos;
- Put the lyrics of the song in videos, openings and endings;
- Insert pre-made subtitles in videos;
- Allows you to follow a graphic of the audio while subtitling the video;

Creating the Subtitle for Karaoke
In the link to the video below, created by me, there is a basic tutorial for creating a karaoke, but I will create more articles and video lessons related to Aegisub in the future, and I will also talk about embedding the video with the subtitle and discuss its tags.
