Future Windy Blur

From Aegisub Wiki

This is a public domain karaoke effect by jfs.

It is on the Aegisub SVN reposity, download here.

The effect applies to all lines regardless of style or the presence of karaoke tags or not. (You'll have to edit the source if you want it to only apply to a limited set of lines. Details below.)

The effect adds a 200 msec fade-in and fade-out to each line (no guard agains overlapping), styles the lines according to the default style with primary colour for fill. On highlight a syllable is instantly filled with the secondary colour, which then "blows away" to the right. The blow-away effect lasts two times the duration of a syllable, though at least 1500 ms.

[edit] Limiting to a subset of lines

To make the effect only apply to lines of a specific style, edit this part of the script, inserting additional conditions:

		if l.class == "dialogue" and
				not l.comment then

For example, to limit it to lines with the style named "romaji", change those two lines to:

		if l.class == "dialogue" and
				not l.comment and
				l.style == "romaji" then

If you want to apply to multiple styles but not everything, you can do something like this:

		if l.class == "dialogue" and
				not l.comment and
				(l.style == "romaji" or l.style == "kanji") then
