What program do you plan to use? Out of the several I've tried, nothing is a good as aegisub.

I was just going to follow this viikii tutorial:

http://www.viikii.net/channels/goto/viikiihelp#TOPIC/1947

I have NEVER subbed/timed before so I totally would be grateful for any and all advice (including tutorial links - I am an utter dummy).

My big issue is timing - I really need to learn how to do that.

I've experienced with timing n subbing so if you're stuck, feel free to ask :)

I also recommend aegisub. Try googling it, the website also has tutorial I think.

50 episodes.. you're in for a long ride, Mrs. Mousie. Timing takes a lot of time, at most you probably will be able to time 2 episodes in a day (sorry if I'm scaring you).

Thank you for the offer, I totally will.

Yes, Aegisub is what I am using. I couldn't find a tutorial but it's pretty simple, I figured it out on my own.

I am learning as I go - timing in beginning of ep 2 is all screwy (I will go back and fix it later) but it's getting much better now (now my main thing is figuring out how long to let each line run for, timewise - it's a bit of a problem for me because I am a speedreader so what's good enough for me may be too fast for someone else - what's the typical amt of time a sub line is run for?)

2 a day? You gotta be kidding me. 2 a week is what I am going to get if I am lucky. Leaving aside my newbie-caused slowness, Baby Mousie is a busy toddler who won't, sadly, sit still and let Mama time :)

I actually find it relaxing though, so I don't mind, but if I finish this project before 2011 kicks in, I will be pleased and surprised.

Just out of curiosity, what's your tagging system? doramas3 etc?

LJ maxes out tags at over 1000. I.e. if I have 1010 entries tagged "doramas", the oldest 10 entries will never show up with that tag. So when I hit 1000 entries with a particular tag, I switch to e.g. doramas2, then doramas3 etc. (Yes, it means I have over 2000 drama-related entries, I have no life).

The only ones for me which buck against the 1000 limit are drama tags and youtube tags. I do have some other misc numerical tags floating around because LJ limit for tags used to be a measly 100 (that is why I have doramas5 etc).

I don't like having entries with no tags (except for the really old ones in my LJ - back when I joined LJ they had no tags and I haven't fully retagged - takes too long) because occasionally I want something and it's a quick way to find it.
