I would also be interested in this. Subtitle presentation is something where browsers are still generally very bad at out of the box, so having good subtitle rendering support buil…

Been using (and occasionally contributing to) Sharp for quite a while, both professionally and personally. Great library to have at hand when you need to deal with images.

I made some revisions to the start of the article in order to make things more clear to the layman unfamiliar with anime and subtitling. Hopefully that clears things up!

The key to good endnotes is to make them a nice bonus for those interested rather than required reading for everyone. Basically, make the main text work on its own, then get into t…

Well... the very first paragraph of the article does say with highlighting how "the presentation quality for translations of on-screen text has taken a total nosedive". And then it…

Good catch, thanks - I literally built the site alongside the article, so there's still some rough edges here and there.

Unfortunately, as the link describes, Netflix only makes this available for a very limited set of languages, while everyone else is stuck with the extremely limited text-based stan…

To be more specific, basically all online streaming today is based around the concept of segmented video (where the video is already split into regular X-second chunks). If you onl…

> CR could have used the ASS subs on their website and given the less-dynamic sub files to their vendors. This is exactly what CR was doing for the past couple years, though you ca…

This kind of softsubbing is what Crunchyroll primarily does, but it has hardsubbed encodes for devices that cannot do softsubbed rendering of the ASS subtitles that Crunchyroll use…

Both services explicitly disallow this by default in their delivery specifications, unfortunately. Netflix: https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/215... > Netfli…

Quality typesetting is just as important for dubs as it is for subs, actually! All that on-screen text will be there regardless of which audio track you are using.

Crunchyroll is currently using a subtitle rendering stack that is highly unique in the media industry, being based on the Advanced SubStation Alpha (ASS) subtitle format. It seems …

Lack of closed captions and dubtitles are definitely very real issues as well, though this article is solely focused on subtitles.

I did find instances of them actively deleting old subtitles and replacing them with lower quality ones in the back catalog, yes. Which seems indicative of Crunchyroll wanting to e…

The linked article here goes over all of that in great detail!

The cyan is basically just bold, but also a highlighter. I was using just plain bold initially but started experimenting with it and landed on this. Pairs quite nicely with the pin…

This is the result of a ton of research into Crunchyroll's recent subtitle changes that have tanked the service's first-party presentation quality to an all-time low. The article e…

If you're going to do script-based video processing in Python, I would highly recommend just going straight for Vapoursynth[1] instead. It's built for the purpose from the ground u…

Lossless compression means the pixels of the output image are 100% identical to that of the output image. This site is clearly not doing that, and should thus not be called "lossle…

As someone who's done made use of most of the techniques listed in these posts, some comments... First of all, it's nice to see them receive attention outside the fansubbing scene!…

As someone who has built custom EPUB authoring scripts in Node.js for work and also quite likes the EPUB spec: cool! I expect I'll still keep using said scripts for work, but I hav…
