There might be a faster way to do this, but what I did was got to “Layer>New>Shape Layer.” Then, I expanded the layer in the timeline and clicked on the “Add” submenu and added an elipse. Life will be easier if the anchor point is in the exact center of the circle and if you create the circle in the middle of the comp. I’ve called it “Ball.” You could also use a custom graphic. First, I create a bouncing ball, which in this case is just a circle shape. I’ve got a comp set up with some audio and some lines of text. That said, if you have a karaoke file or can create one somehow, that script is almost definitely the way you want to go, because, while the method I’m going to describe below makes it much easier than it otherwise would be to animate a ball, it’s still a pretty tedious process and the KaraokeAnimator script should automate the whole thing. There’s some sort of bug in the zooming tools in the GUI where they don’t work or show up and it makes it impossible to zoom into the audio waveform close enough to be able to chop it up word-by-word, which you need to do to get karaoke timings, which you need to get the bouncing ball in the KaraokeAnimator script.
They say that the Mac version is an alpha, and it’s definitely true. I played with the demo a bit, but I couldn’t get the bouncing ball to work because I got so frustrated getting the karaoke timings to work in the Mac version of Aegisub, I gave up. I am hoping to avoid having to take the extra step of copying and pasting attributes from text layer to text layer due to time constraints and the sheer number of text layers I have to apply translations to.ĭoes anyone have any recommendations for solving the above issue? Thank you! Please see images below for reference of the unconnected Arabic characters in action.First of all, I need to point out that there is a script that is supposed to help with this. The Arabic characters do connect when I copy into newly created text layers, but ideally I just want to be able to paste directly into the previously created English text layers to preserve the position and scale of the text layer. And I have already changed the text engine to 'South Asian and Middle Eastern' as well restarted After Effects. I am using an appropriate font (Adobe Arabic). But when I attempt to paste the translations into the previously created English text layers, the Arabic characters do not connect and display from left to right instead of right to left. Ideally, I want to be able copy and paste from the excel sheet directly into the English text layers, replacing the English of course. I'm currently attempting to switch over all of the English language text layers to Arabic in an After Effects project for a client, who has provided excel sheet of all the translations.
