Song BPM: Number of beats per minute in the song.Here’s a rundown of what the different parameters mean. That’s why I went through all the effort earlier to create the shape in the exact center. I’m not 100% sure it’s necessary, but it’s a lot easier if “Ball” and “Ball Parent” are in the same position when you do the parenting. Before I move the ball anywhere, I’m going to create a new null object and call it “Ball Parent.” Then, I parent the “Ball” shape to “Ball Parent.” A little later, the shape is going to bounce up and down in rhythm with the music and “Ball Parent” is going to control the motion of going from word to word. We’re going to use scale later, so it’s better to leave this untouched. I used the “Size” property under “Elipse Path 1″ to set it to the size I wanted instead of using the scale property. I then used the same add menu to add a fill, which I made yellow. There might be a faster way to do this, but what I did was got to “Layer>New>Shape Layer.” Then, I expanded the layer in the timeline and clicked on the “Add” submenu and added an elipse. Life will be easier if the anchor point is in the exact center of the circle and if you create the circle in the middle of the comp. I’ve called it “Ball.” You could also use a custom graphic. First, I create a bouncing ball, which in this case is just a circle shape. I’ve got a comp set up with some audio and some lines of text. That said, if you have a karaoke file or can create one somehow, that script is almost definitely the way you want to go, because, while the method I’m going to describe below makes it much easier than it otherwise would be to animate a ball, it’s still a pretty tedious process and the KaraokeAnimator script should automate the whole thing. There’s some sort of bug in the zooming tools in the GUI where they don’t work or show up and it makes it impossible to zoom into the audio waveform close enough to be able to chop it up word-by-word, which you need to do to get karaoke timings, which you need to get the bouncing ball in the KaraokeAnimator script. They say that the Mac version is an alpha, and it’s definitely true. I played with the demo a bit, but I couldn’t get the bouncing ball to work because I got so frustrated getting the karaoke timings to work in the Mac version of Aegisub, I gave up. First of all, I need to point out that there is a script that is supposed to help with this.
