Creating Karaoke with Aegisub

Are you used to watching anime and do you like to sing the opening, closing and songs within the anime? If you end up watching anime from a speedsub you will not find the lyrics of the song. Sometimes, if it's a qualitysub, then you will have that karaoke with special effects. For example: the syllables turning, disappearing, on fire, etc.

It's just that sometimes we want a karaoke video of the entire 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 are going to talk about a program that will help you, called Aegisub.

Aegisub is originally used to subtitle anime. As our site does not support piracy, we will not talk much about it in this article. We will encourage you to only subtitle your songs, openings and endings.

Basically, to create a karaoke you will only need a video and get the lyrics from the internet or even input them with your own translated lyrics, if you know the language of the lyrics. To add effects and transitions to the subtitles, you will need to have a little knowledge of the program's tags and language. Lua.
