Introduction
Timing is a piece of cake for most, typesetting is where subbing begins to become a bit more complicated.
Styles
Styles are the base appearance of all your subtitles, so they're fairly important. To edit your styles, go to the Top Bar "Subtitle > Styles Manager"
Here, you can edit and add various styles. For example, you could have a "Speaker" style for the speech translations, "Captions" for captions, "Credits" for your credits etc.
Click "edit" and you can see the various edits you can make to a style like font size, font, colours.
For a variety show, there are tons of captions with different appearances you need mimic, so I suggest having many styles for the sake of efficiency and quickness.

Colours
Aegisub has four colours for your subtitles- Primary Colour, Secondary Colour, Outline Colour, and Shadow Colour.
They are self-explanatory, but for your information, Secondary Colour is useless for subbing TV Shows and is only used in Karaoke Subtitles.
TIP! Your recently-used colours are saved for you in a palette so you don't have to keep looking for the same colour.

Override Tags (Basic)
Override Tags are tags you can place within the text container to change the appearance of a line.
\N - This is one of the only override tags without the "{ }" around it. It splits a line. {\r} - Resets all previous style changes {\fs#} - Changes the font size (e.g {\fs5} {\fs40} {\fs100} {\fnNAME} - Change the font (e.g{\fnArial} {\fnTimes New Roman} {\fad(#,#} - Basic fade effect. First number is fade in, second number is fade out. (E.g {\fad(400,100)} Fade in 400 milliseconds, fade out 100 milliseconds) |
