[edit] Automation 3 tutorials
Automation 3 is the previous version. It exists in all versions af Aegisub up to and including 1.10, as well as all pre-release builds labeled 1.11. In pre-release builds labeled 2.00 it has been replaced with Automation 4.
[edit] Factory-brew scripts
"Factory-brews" is the Automation 3 name for scripts that can generate karaoke effects given a simple template, and without much, if any, programming.
- Adding an Automation script -- how to make Aegisub load a script
- Using the simple-k-replacer script -- most basic karaoke effects
- Using the line-per-syllable script -- more advanced karaoke effects
- Using the multi-template script -- some of the most advanced effects you can get without direct programming
[edit] Writing your own
This section has been scrapped in favor of a similar goal for Automation 4. You can use one of the published karaoke scripts as a guide.
[edit] Tips and tricks
- Use Karaskel. Just use it. It's easier in almost every case. Even if you don't need want the processing-scheme it uses the precalculation can still be a great time saver.
- It's possible to make a script automatically reload when run, but not fully automatically.
[edit] Automation 4 tutorials
Automation 4 is the current version, which allows for more freedom in development. However, programming directly against the Automation 4 API can be more work in some cases.
[edit] Planned
- Finishing a sensible karaskel, probably using paradigms somewhat different from Auto3 karaskel
- New, more flexible multi-template
- No simple-k-replacer or line-per-syllable, those should be built into multi-template
- Some very simple, parametrised effects that aren't multi-template
- DeathWolf has been talking about making an advanced karaoke framework
- Tutorial(s) on writing macros and file format handlers (when they're done)
