SubtitleEx

Revision as of 20:34, 21 April 2020

Description

The SubtitleEx is an AviSynth plugin to show a text over any video clip with one function inside: SubtitleEx. It is an extension of an existing Subtitle function of the AviSynth. Many of the parameters of the SubtitleEx have the same meaning as a original Subtitle function.

Requirements

• [x86]: AviSynth+ or AviSynth 2.6
• [x64]: AviSynth+
• Supported color formats: RGB24, RGB32, Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86 / x64)

*** vcredist_x86.exe is required for GamMatch-x86

*** vcredist_x64.exe is required for GamMatch-x64

Syntax and Parameters

SubtitleEx (clip, string, int "x", int "y", int "firstframe", int "lastframe", string "font", string "effects", int "size", int "textcolor", int "halocolor", int "spc", int "linemargin")

clip   =

Input clip.

string   =

Text - obligatory parameter; no default value; can be multiline, to split a text into lines a "|" symbol is used. "||" will print a single pipe "|" character, without a new line.

int  x = -clipWidth * 0.11

int  y = -clipHeight * 0.17

Text position (default values: x = -clipWidth * 0.11, y = -clipHeight * 0.17). Following picture helps to understand how x and y to be defined:

Top left corner coordinates are (0, 0), x growth to the right, y growth down.

Value A defines vertical text position if (y >= 0) and then y = A

Value B defines vertical text position if (y < 0) and then y = -B

Value C defines horizontal text position if (x >= 0) and then x = C, text is left aligned

Value D defines horizontal text position if (x < 0) and then x = -D, text is right aligned

int  firstframe = 0

int  lastframe = -1

A range to which the text is applied (default values: firstframe = 0, lastframe = -1); if lastframe = -1 then last clip frame number is used.

string  font = "Arial"

Font name (default value: "Arial")

string  effects = "b"

Effects applied to the text.

Following control letter are used for the font and text appearance (order and position in the effects string do not matter):

b - bold

i - italic

u - underlined

o - strikeOut/strikethrough

c - centered

w - line breaks with "|" are disabled.

n - no anti alias

Following letters are used for usage of different filters:

e - emboss

s - soft blur

g - Gaussian blur filter

l - Laplacian filter (edge detection)

Dynamic effects usually have own parameters in the parentheses. Some parameters can be omitted, then they have default values (currently all of them are zeros). Following letters are used for dynamic effects:

f - fading; the effect has following parameters:

f(

inFrames,

outFrames)

where

inFrames - number of fade-in frames

outFrames - number of fade-out frames

m - motion; the effect has following parameters:

m(

moveInFrames,

xPosFrom,

yPosFrom,

moveOutFrames,

xPosTo,

yPosTo)

where

moveInFrames - number of frames for move-in effect

xPosFrom, yPosFrom - starting point of move-in movement

moveOutFrames - number of frames for move-out effect

xPosTo, yPosTo - final point after move-out

The order, in which filters letters are, is important. A filter can be applied several times and previous filter result is used for the current filter. The usage of the effects string is shown in very details in the Examples section.

int  size = 36

Size of the font.

int  textcolor = $00FFFFFF

Text color.

int  halocolor = $00000000

This parameter defines a color of letters border in most of the cases (default value: $00000000). When the emboss filter is applied the parameter defines the darken side of letters

The color values have the following format (in hex): $TTRRGGBB, where TT stands for a transparency, $00 - opaque, $FF - completely transparent; RR - red color value, GG - green color value, BB - blue color value.

int  spc = 0

Specify the character spacing.

int  linemargin = 0

Specify the line spacing.

                                 (Y=0, Baseline of first line of text is at YCoord 0, Y=-1, 
                                  BaseLine of Last line of text is at YCoord Height-1).
                               - Where "|" inserts a NewLine in text, 
                                 "||" will now print a single Pipe "|" character, without NewLine.
                               - Add support for all v2.60 Std Colorspaces except YV411.

 v1.00         2008/02/18      - Kai mod
