An easy to use lyrics syncing tool with the capability to export an ass subtitle file. I found it useful with aegisub and ffmpeg. I am willing to answer any question. Thanks

How did you find aegisub to work with? Were there any particular libraries you found useful.

As the most heavily supported highly flexible subtitle format, I feel like it has a lot of potential for neat things like this!

Aegisub is a very cool software to produce subtitles, but i expend a lot of time syncing. now i sync with lirik and apply styles with aegisub. When i want to produce the video i use ffmpeg. Thank you.

Is the code open source anywhere?

Right now is private on gitlab. I am a little paranoid. But i can consider open source. Sure.

Paranoid about what?

Good question, do you suggest me to open source? and why? i will probably do it if it's worth it, even a little. Thanks

Do you think Ben Horowitz will give you $50mm just so he can hang out with Nas?

Hello, i am not sure i understand your comment. What do you mean? Thanks.

Looks great! How did you align audio with text?

Is a manual job. I am confident is more user friendly, though. (when the user has to do something, i mean)

Btw thanks, it means a lot.

pm if u wanna see alt tool to navigate text, sync syllables, also able to output plaintext (turn captions ON) thx

another product that does this with syllables? sure i'd love to understand how sound syncing works

Hi, thanks for your comment, i did not know you can do that with YouTube. I will look into it.

Nice! I was attempting something similar a while ago. I couldn't login with Facebook (the app appears to be under developing mode) so I couldn't test creation.

Do you do any sort of automated frequency analysis use aid aligning the phonemes to the specific timings of the song?

I wish. I am afraid is not that impresive, but with proper motivation i would like to get there. As i said to someone else, i will make the tool more accesible so you can check it out. Thank you.

The end result sync animation is cool, like being able to click the text to scrub to that part of the video.

But I wasn't sure how to use the Create form so I couldn't figure out what the tool was and how it worked.

Now allegedly you can do the whole process without saving, and it will be persisted in local storage until it is saved, so you can try another go. I recommend doing a song that you really like. If you do wanna save a song, you have to be logged in, and in the creator form, only the song, and the html input elements are required. the pick song button should open a modal where you can choose an existing song, or create one using the edit mode, i prefer this way instead of doing a combobox with typeahead. If you finally do it, thank you very much, if not, also thank you, really. good time ahead.

Now that i know people are willing to try it out i will make it more accesible. I will really appreciate you check it out soon. Probably tomorrow. Thanks again.

Electricity goes out this morning, :( But now i realized, you can check it out already with the songs posted, just click the A button below the info, besides the pencil. (i am not a graphic designer, i admit)

Thank you for your feedback.
