I can help out in any position. I submitted the timer test, and i can also do typist. Typesetting I would need to learn. But i am familiar with Aegis sub already.
I can type about 100 wpm pretty accurately please let me know if you need a typist.
Applying for typist position. GMT -4. Nozomori(at)hotmail(dot)com
I am applying for the typist position. I can average around 60-80 WPM. I have provided my email and blog address
Damn it I could have applied for typist but I don’t live in America.
I type around 80 wpm and would be willing to try being a typist…also willing to learn timing and typesetting if needed
I can type around 90 wpm and I would like to apply for the typist slot. I live in the U.S. too. Please reply.
Applying for translator position. I’m a native Japanese, but I graduated high school in US and currently studying at an university in US.
I’ve recently did a speedsub for Carnival Phantasm Ep. 6 in few hours on a request from my friend, if that is of any help for my qualification.
I have a computer.
*claps* so do I, wonderful pieces of technology, aren’t they xD
I’m willing to do timing or typing.
Also doing nothing at the moment, lots of free time.
Get on IRC and PM me for an application.
I want to join a Typesetter, I can use Aegisub,
I live in the US and would be willing to do typing. I can do about 70 wpm. I also have a lot of free time and I really want to give something back to you awesome fansubbers.
Get on IRC and PM me for an application..
Heyo, while I don’t have time to help out, I do have a server I can donate bandwidth off of. Seedbox, iroffer, DDL, whatever you need. 100Mbps pipe and I can offer several hundred GB of space. Contact me if you’re interested.
“You are seriously expected to be on IRC every minute of your waking day.” Is this no-pay work, or are people paid? To be expected to spend that much time on something, especially when one does not live with parents, and has a job, rent and bills to pay, this is a lot to require of someone. I can do any of the jobs listed above but, if not being able to be on here constantly is an issue because I do have to work to have an income… Then I guess this isn’t the place for me?
Nevermind. lol.
Most of the people that actually do meatspace work in the group are in various IT positions that let them BS on IRC at the same time. The rest of us are bored college kids.

i have read your recruitmen in that web, and i want to join as typestter in your fansub.
I do not have experience in the fansub world, but I can use Aegisub
[…] Recruitment […]
Previously in scanlation for a long period, then went on a massive hiatus. Was a QC’er for a lot of HQ scanlation groups. Operative word; “was”
Older and wiser now, but still in college and still romantically involved with my hand.
Familiar with timing and ts’ing but would probably love a typist gig. Open to other roles though.
But umm, yeah… if you like old warhero stories, I’m your guy.
i want to help, but am i must understand japanese language?
If you’re a translator? Yeah. Anything else? Nah, not really.
Editors and timers (especially the latter) benefit from knowing a little bit of spoken Japanese, and typesetters benefit from at least knowing how to read kana, but it’s not essential in either case.
ok2 tq, i think i need to learn how to read kana first, because im used to translate,editor,typeset from english to indonesia, if i already can read kana i will contact you again
and sorry to answer now, beacuse yesterday im sick
Hi, I’m applying for a translation position. I’m a native English speaker and recently graduated with a degree in Japanese. I don’t have any experience with any fansub or scanlation groups, but I’ve done translations for some HxH and Otoyomegatari chapters.
I possess functional knowledge of gradeschool japanese. Where do I sign up?
Join the channel and ask
Hi,
If there are any request for encoders I can help, I have one year experience.
Have a nice day.
Not looking for encoders.
Still have openings? I’d be interested in joining the team

Just after some clarification more than anything, but I’m assuiming an Editor is literally the quality checker (spellings, phrase correction, grammar etc) between translator and timer?
Correct.
I’ve applied before, so I can’t apply again, but please reconsider me.
You failed, so no. You could pretend to be someone else and apply again and I’ll pretend to not notice. Try to not type like a retard this time.
Would reapply for Editor but university has a blanket ban on P2P :/
applied for editor, but apparently my witty comebacks aren’t witty enough.
Can you help me with something?
I’m a programmer (hmm, kind of, I’m in the 2nd semester of CS) and I wanted to help with that part, but I have no idea about what it needs to be done. If some Commie programmer is able to tell me what do you work with, I’ll try to help you guys or even some other group. Thanks
*If you don’t want to answer here, please email me.
showtimes, irc bot, that kind of stuff. but like, if you can come up with something novel that’s actually useful for fansubbing, then that would work too.
Commie, I would like to enconde like you do, because I think your releases are the best. So, if you can teach how to, I’ll be grateful for it. I know the basics, I want to know which filter to use and so on.
Thanks.
gradfun3 is a cool filter
How do I use it? I mean, which settings and values?
it works pretty well with the default settings
just put it at the end of your .avs script
Thank you very much.
And will I get good encoding results with this?
I’m asking because I want to be a very good encoder. Obvious, experience would speak, but asking I can learn more.
it will certainly help a lot
Okay. Thanks a lot herkz, I’ll test it and see the results.
I now encoded with the filter gradfun3, and I think that I made something wrong, ’cause it has more grain and artifacts than the source. I’m encoding from a HS/CR 1080p to 720p using Spline64Resize and gradfun3. Some help please! Like an example of a script or something.
:(
wat? literally all i do for cr shows is resized then gradfun3 with default settings. you must be doing something really weird.
My script, all by default in gradfun3:
DirectShowSource(“D:\Users\Edgar\Videos\Naruto Shippuden\[Crunchyroll] Naruto Shippuden – OP 14 (1080p) [7F598DBE].mkv”)
GradFun3(thr=0.35, radius=12, mask=2, mode=0, smode=0, debug=0, lsb=False, lsb_in=False, staticnoise=False, y=3, u=3, v=3)
Spline64Resize(1280, 720)
Tell me if it is fine like this. I don’t know if it’s my preset in x264, maybe.
P.D. The name of the video it is because I split it with mkvmerge and rename it later like a release, in short, is still a CR video. (I know how to rip CR videos, yay! :D)
i usually do this
FFVideosource("[horriblesubs] whatever.mkv").assumefps(24000,1001)
crop (if needed)
spline36resize(1280,720)
gradfun3
and you x264 settings shouldn’t be adding grain unless you did something really weird
*P.S.
Also, I ask because on the internet it’s hard to find tutorials that teach the use of filter and that stuff.
It’s a bit too late to thanks, but thanks herkz for your help.
Commie, how can a group (a user) in nyaa be a trusted user?
I was wondering since I can’t see how to in any place.
submit good torrents and dont break the rules
And how much time it takes?
who knows
sub bad shows for rhexcelion and regret it
hue
No, really, it’s complicated to be a trusted user?
A month or two is fine? And what you call good torrents?
How can I encode a .ts to a vfr video, and a CR video to vfr (like One Piece which 29.97fps)?
http://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/externalfilters/tivtc.htm see example 7
Thank you very much, herkz.
I don’t know if you have watched naruto shippuden from CR, but you can see that some episodes (not all, obvious) have duplicated frames (I think) making drops on the video, so, my point is how can I fix that?
if it’s vfr, then just follow the example
I have understood about the vfr part, the matter is that I don’t know if this is a vfr problem
you can only tell by looking at the video and seeing if some parts have repeated frames and some dont
So if it is that, I suppose it’s vfr. But I’ve never seen a release of naruto in vfr. That means I have a new question, how to fix a vfr problem, and to encode it to cfr (since naruto it should have cfr)?
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=search&cats=0_0&filter=0&term=naruto+vfr there’s these, though i have no idea if they did it right
anyway i can’t tell you without actually downloading the video and i’m too lazy for that
Hahaha only three. And worst, if you’re lazy to download, not all the episodes from cr have the problem I mentioned.
I have to find an episode and try it, then I’ll tell how it went.
And finally, is the way to encode a vfr source to crf the same as encoding a cfr one, or I’ll need to know something else?
encoding it is the same
Ok, thanks.
(Like you taught me before, right?)
Can you hire me as a timer? I mean, if possible.
Hello guys. I’ve a problem, when I try to encode with x264 to 8-bit (no matters if it’s patched or vanilla builds) the video’s profile end up with Main instead of High. This doesn’t happen when I’m using a 10-bit x264 build. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, hope you can help me.
The profile reflects what settings you use (or you can limit the settings if you select something lower than high).
Sorry again, that’s for 10-bit. This is for 8-bit:
x264.exe –level 5 –preset ultrafast –ref 16 –cabac 1 –crf 18 –deblock -1:-1 –me umh –subme 11 –fade-compensate 0.80 –psy-rd=1.00:0.20 –mixed-ref 1 –merange 24 –trellis 2 –partitions all –chroma-qp-offset 0 –threads 3 –no-dct –fgo 0 –bframes 16 –b-pyramid 2 –b-adapt 2 –b-bias 0 –weightb 1 –weightp 2 –keyint 250 –min-keyint 23 –scenecut 40 –rc-lookahead 60 –qcomp 0.75 –qpmin 0 –qpmax 81 –qpstep 4 –ipratio 1.40 –pbratio 1.30 –aq-mode 3 –aq-strength 0.6 –mbtree 1 –direct auto –profile high –colormatrix bt709 –output “$video_output” “$video_input”
what in the fuck are you doing
Help me please, what I’m doing wrong? :(
a lot of things
i don’t even know what you’re trying to do here
Huh. Well, I’m not that good encoding. Please, give me, at least, an example of how you encode.
it’s completely different than encoding from 10-bit to 8-bit
besides, if you want that, just download a re-encode from nyaa
Is not that. It’s an HorribleSubs video, I encode it from 1080p to 720p at 10-bit, and I don’t have any problem. But when I encode the same source to 480p at 8-bit I don’t get the desired profile.
I need your help, something like a tutorial, or examples that you would use. Anything could help.
:(
sounds like you already know enough. like i said, the profile is just a reflection of the settings you use, not the other way around. if those are the x264 settings you want to use, then i don’t see the problem.
Yikes. Look the MediaInfo, using the preset above, here https://db.tt/gZxEw42X.
End up being Main, while the profile specified was High. I don’t understand what’s happening.
i think it’s main because of 8 bit? but i dunno. like i said, it literally does not matter. just like level. the only reason to consider those is for hardware playback, and even then you may want to go lower, not higher.
Yes, but when I see the MediaInfos of Hatsuyuki, peeps, Chyuu and others, I notice they are High profile. So that’s make me feel that I’m doing something wrong. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
:c :/
well i have no idea because i never encode shit to 8 bit or 480p
Damn. Well, thanks anyway for the support, I appreciate it.
Why are you setting that many setting for a simple reencode?
It looks like you went into mediainfo on some encode and decided to copy all settings 1:1 making your arguments pretty overkill.
And x264 automatically downgrades the profile based on the settings so if you specified –profile high and your settings fit in the main profile it will show that instead. There’s a –profile-force option in the build I’m using, but it’s purely cosmetic.
You’d be better off cleaning up the command too, because right now it’s ridiculous. Setting –preset ultrafast and then overwriting pretty much all of the related settings doesn’t seem all that useful to me.
A cleaner command line resulting in mostly the same settings would be
x264 –preset veryslow –tune animation –deblock -1:-1 –fade-compensate .8 –psy-rd 1:.2 –qcomp .75 –aq-mode 3 –aq-strength .6 –colormatrix bt709 –crf 18 –o “$video_output” “$video_input”
Thanks Fleppensteyn, you are right it’s ridiculous. I found what my problem was, and it was the preset ultrafast that overwrites the profile. But I have a question, will I get the same results with your command?
Probably not exactly the same, but the differences are negligible anyway, hell even when comparing frame-by-frame it could visibly be the same.
You won’t be noticing it on playback and when you’re reencoding you’re generally throwing quality out of the window anyway.
You could actually just encode with only –preset veryslow –tune animation –crf 18(or lower) and not notice the difference.
The extra setting can matter a lot when tweaking for some sources, but for reencoding you should just not care as much.
Well I would like a command that always give me the same settings, so if I want to change something I’ll know what to do.
If you can help I’ll appreciate it very much.
This command will give you the same settings every time you run it, just not exactly the same settings as the retarded long command line you posted earlier (with the utrafast fuckup).
Yeah, it works for me. Thanks :D
The only difference was decimate=1, while with my command gave me no decimate. Also subme end up with 10, while my command is 11.
If you can give more suggestion, and also some filter for avs, I’m gonna be very grateful.
:D
Yeah I didn’t read through all settings closely, I just picked out what you would generally set outside of the preset.
If you want subme 11 you could always use –preset placebo but it’s going to increase encoding speed a lot without too much of a difference.
As for the decimate=1, just add –no-dct-decimate to the command line to turn it off I guess.
As far as filtering goes, it’s heavily dependent on the source you’re using and should be experimented with on a per-show or per-episode basis if you’re serious (or per-scene if you’re scenefiltering).
In general it’d be debanding using gradfun3 and possibly anti-aliasing using something like maa2.
Not going to go into specifics here, but basically filtering needs research and fucking around to get right and even then it’s subjective.
If you’re just reencoding CR or something just a normal call to gradfun3 could get rid of most of the banding without killing too many details.
This should be enough to get you started, so I guess I’m done here.
I’ve always used gradfun3 for CR.
Fleppensteyn you are awesome, thanks man. Btw, where can I learn about which filter to use on a per-shows and per-episodes basis, and maybe per-scene too?
Anyway, thank you very much for the help.
doom9
other encoders
random shit on google
basically there isn’t really a good resource
Ok, so basically it is just testing and testing, right?
pretty much. and you’ll get better with experience.
Yeah, I hope so.
I know I said it so many times already, but thanks. :D
Hello guys, I’ve a question since they’re talking about encoding and that stuff here. To the question, when trimming a video, a .ts video or whatever source, which audio splitter do you suggest me, which is the most accurate audio splitter?
vfr.py?
im not really sure what you mean
Yeah, is that. I mean, I asked because the mkvmerge isn’t the most accurate cutting the audio, AFAIK.
It’s accurate enough.
If you’re merging multiple sections of audio together, the drift can accumulate, but this drift is (probably) only significant if you have at least a hundred sections.
Furthermore, if you’re encoding from a telecined source, the audio sync is already imprecise and cutting the audio accurately is a pointless endeavour.
I’m tired of editor work, so I’ve decided to apply for a Typesetter role, as it seems like a fun challenge. I already submitted the application (I think I fucked the order up).
Hey guys! I applied for a translator position a little while ago and got your test earlier this week, but when I submitted my translated version by replying to your email it seems something in the cosmos exploded and I keep getting “Mail Delivery Error” notices so I assume it’s not going through. Just wanted to let you guys know I haven’t dropped off the face of the Earth. Is there any other way I can submit, to a different email address maybe? Thanks!
Got any Chyron spots? jk
Need help with Carbon Coder settings? Profile specs?
I filled out the editor form under this name. Should I expect an email with the result, or just no response if I’m rejected, or what?
any using megui here ???? Hoh can i do for 10 bit hi444pp using megui
don’t use megui
what tool you using for make hi444pp x264 or what
x264???
I sent an applicaiton form. I am willing to do translating, typesetting and karaoke.
Hi
I want join to you as timer
do you agree?
I am prof in timing…
scenetimig
linking
and everything
no, we have more than enough timers.
How do you guys feel about AFX typesetting?
it’s bad
Is there some way I can help with translation? I would love to improve my translation skills- now that I’m satisfied with my Japanese comprehension.
On a side note, I first found your subgroup after watching the monogatari series- Back then, I actually found your subs annoying and considered it “wrong” (as it wasn’t what I was hearing!)-
Only after getting a wider grasp on the language and realizing how dumb directly translated subs actually sound was I able to appreciate them !
yes, just message me on IRC
hello are you guys still hiring translators?. I’m native and I got a lot better in English but i want to further increase my skills as a translator.
yes, just message me on IRC
seems like irc isn’t working, i can provide content directly from netflix jp if you’re interested sir Herkz
doesn’t seem very useful when we’ve used netflix video exactly once.
