Styled Hams

[@Anonymous_cat1]

Hey there! Thanks for watching the video! These are a few things I wanted to address: UPDATE (12/28/24): KZbin forces a black box on non-chromium based browsers which is really ugly. That sucks What can I watch this on? > Mobile is iffy at best, but does technically work > Desktop (or desktop page on mobile) > KZbin TV has been reported to work, although I'm unsure of how well - I'm on mobile Try watching on a browser! most mobile browsers nowadays have a "Show Desktop Page" feature that will allow you to see the desktop version of KZbin and may allow you to see the full styled captions on mobile. - My captions show up as Wingdings (symbols) I honestly don't know what causes this, but I have a few ideas: > Your machine doesn't have MS Comic Sans installed as a font (this would be common with Linux if I were to imagine) > Your machines' fonts are set up weirdly I'd try another device that is capable of showing the desktop version of KZbin. - How do I make styled captions? Honestly, there is no great tutorial out there. I REALLY want to make one, but senior year has just started for me so It'll take a while if ever. For the meantime, you can try contacting me on Discord or following Aegisub+YTSubCoverter tutorials while closely referring to YTSubCoverter's GitHub Readme. - Can you make Styled Subtitles for my project? The truth is maybe, It depends on the length and complexity. As I'm still new to this, time being unreliable, and just having a general lack of knowledge, I don't necessarily expect payment (although its appreciated). The best way to contact me is on my Discord linked on my channel. - I FIXED THE MISSPELLINGS AND SOME FORMATTING ERRORS!!! I know I've stated that I wouldn't fix them, but it makes me feel kinda bad considering the amount of people who pointed them out. > Seymore is now Seymour > Holy Gods! is now Oh Ye' Gods! (According to the original script) > County is now Country Timing cannot be entirely fixed due to how YTSubConverter works at ~28fps. - You stole "Steamed Captions"! Both videos use styled captions however, the use is fundamentally different. The mentioned video converts the entirety of steamed hams into a video that's played to the captions, Mine uses Styled Captions to enhance the skit. Thanks for making it out here to comment, it's genuinely exciting to see people ask questions, and talk about my content (Believe me, I started this channel back in 2016. This is NOT normal, lol).

You know, watching this mute made me realize maybe this type of stylization should be the standard for how we do subtitles. If I were fully deaf I’d be able to fully understand not only what they are saying but their inflections also.

I see your point! it hasn't came across to me that motion, color, or even placement strongly affect the meaning, tone or even cadence of the dialogue. That just makes me realize *how* important captions really are to everyone!

[@Pogulation]

As someone who watched this video without sound, and has never watched the original version of steamed hams, I can say that I fully understood the tone in which the characters were speaking

The captions were actually so cool, ngl i thought they were part of the show for a good while. I never seen it many other times until here, which is more of a different use cuz instead of just changing font and colour, it also makes them MOVE?! its amazing, id love to see it more on shorter videos.
