SSA/ASS capabilities

[tekkyyy]

Not sure if I am using the right subtitle format for the job.
But I have two questions about SSA/ASS capabilities.

1.)
{\K<duration>} is fill and {\ko<duration>} is fill by outline
Is there a trick to change both the colour of the fill and outline?
eg. start as white with black outline, then changes to blue with black outline

2.)
Is it possible to display the line before the K animation? Or delay the K animation?
{\t([t1, t2,] ... )} can't be used with K animation right?

after playing around with it I found how to show the subtitle ahead of the {\kf<duration>} animation

Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\kf400}{\kf10}hello

its not rendered consistently though, the above works in Aeguisub preview
but for my ffdshow/MPC to work I need to go

Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\kf} {\kf400} {\kf10}hello

********************

still lost regarding no. 1 though

many novelty karaoke programs (Karafun .kfn, Karaoke Maker .wrd, KBuilder .ksc...) allow you to choose the active and inactive colours of both body and border for the fill animation

duno why ASS/SSA doesn't seem to let you define them, as the {\kf} ({\ko}) changes the body (border) you lose contrast if you can't change the colour of the border (body)

Never use SSA. That is bullshit of format. ASS. rule.

ASS. is in function to do anything you want to. Never use SSA. as oposite of ASS.

When using ASS. use new Aegisub's versions.
