:xtract the ass file for. :xe.ple%ASSDraw.0ip. This file is na.ed exe.ple.ass ,this is 1rench ;-. 3opy it in the ,:-.inotest directory. We will now learn how to use this ASS file to generate a S<= file. AviS"nth s,ri+t : 1irst we .ust create an AviSynth script. This script will first create a *lan2 clip6 then overlay the :xe.ple.ass su*title file over it ,using VS1ilter.dll-6 finally it will generate a srt file suita*le for the last version of Su*title3reator ,using S3VideoToSrt.dll-.
#Make a srt file compatible with the new version of SubtitleCreator (2.3rc1) video !lankClip(width "2#$hei%ht &"'$fps 2&) #http())pa%esperso*oran%e.fr)sweetkaraoke)+utoriels)+utoriel,-1e.html video +e.tSub(video$/C(0dinotest01.emple.ass/)

=ut this script in a file na.ed test.avs in the c!>dinotest directory. Srt file an. (itma+s /eneration : Then open VirtualDu*+od. ?pen the test.avs file ,file88@?pen Video 1ile-. Then to generate the *it.ap seAuence and the corresponding srt file6 choose file88@Save 5.age SeAuence and put the sa.e para.eters as *elow !

3hoose ?B. This will create the *it.aps and the srt file ,na.ed dinotest.srtThen close VitualDu*+od. Su+ file /eneration : ?pen the dinotest.srt file with the new version of Su*title3reator ,at least 2.)rc/- ,1ile88@?pen su*title-. This will ta2e so.e ti.e as it needs to open all the *it.aps. 7ou .ust then change the transparency settings as they are not correctly retrieved *y Su*title3reatorCs current version. To do this ! /D- Select :dit all as shown in the i.age *elow.

2D- Set the transparency of the Eac2ground to ( ,instead of /5- and clic2 on the F Set su*title colors and position G-. 7ou can now generate the sup file ! 3hoose 1ile88@Save S<= as... and choose a na.e and location for your sup file6 for exa.ple dinotest.sup. Su*title3reator will then generate a sup file for you. 7ou can then use this sup file with a video of your own. As this tutorial uses *eta versions of Su*title3reator and of S3VideoToSrt than2s for reporting *ugs in the dedicated foru. on doo.H !
