Aegisub - The spectrum zoomed in

[abourget]

Hello everyone !
I have an issue with Aegisub.

I have no idea how, I pressed a key or several at the same time when my mouse was on the spectrum (the thing up right, I think it's called the spectrum), and now it's completely zoomed in (see the screenshot attached). I do not know if you can see how it is now. It's zoomed in and therefore I can not work with it.
The spectrum is bigger and I can not reduce it to its previous aspect.

I uninstalled and reinstalled completely Aegisub twice, but it is still the same.

I tried everything to put it back to normal...

Please help

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much !

You can adjust the zoom with the zoom sliders. The 3 sliders to the right of the audio spectrum in the screenshot

[abourget]

Thank you @poisondeathray, I didn't even know there were sliders. They don't seem to work, I can't move them, neither there is a "vertical line" to move them on

[poisondeathray]

To be clear, it's the horizontal zoom slider . The 1st slider . The red arrow points to it in this screenshot

Slide up to zoom in, slide down to zoom out



This looks like the mac version - maybe something broken in the mac version ?

[abourget]

Yes, this is the mac version.
I can not slide it up or down, neither of the 3 buttons.

I guess something is broken in the mac version then...

Not sure I can solve that, anyone?

[poisondeathray]

Try a an older mac version

You can find main links on this page:

I guess there is no "portable" version for mac; but that' s the one I'm using on windows and the zoom works

[abourget]

Portable version or older version are still not working. The sliders still don't work even with those versions...

[poisondeathray]

There are no portable versions for mac

Which mac OSX version ?

It looks like the bug tracker is down, but you should report it
http://devel.aegisub.org/

If you compare the mac osx screenshots on the aegisub main page, at least the vertical slider looks to be working (I mean at least it's moving)

Do you have access to a PC ?

[abourget]

The portable versions don't work on Mac, I tried the 2 there are anyway just in case.

I tried the Mac Version 3.2.1, 3.2.0. It doesn't change a thing for those versions I tried.
I also tried 3.1.3, 3.1.2, 3.1.0 and 3.0.1. They don't even work on my Mac, don't want to open, too old versions I guess.

I will have access to a PC later today, but it's not mine so I would have liked to fix the issue on my laptop

[alandelatorre]

I have exactly the same problem as you do... I even formatted my Mac, hoping it could fix it, but nothing...

Did you find any solution? I love Aegisub...

Otherwise, would you recommend me another subtitling app with a "spectrum analyzer" built in it?

[abourget]

I did not fid any solution so far.

I do not know other subtitling softwares, I've always worked with that one. On my side, I'm keeping working with Aegisub, I do not use the audio spectrum anymore then, but the seconds. It takes way longer, but no choice at the moment.

[poisondeathray]

3.2.2 was released Dec,2014

but there are some more recent builds you can try here
http://plorkyeran.com/aegisub/

04/09/16 - r8898

bug tracker is down, but you need to report the Mac issue if you want it fixed
http://devel.aegisub.org/

so you can contact via IRC or email

A ticket on the bug tracker is the preferred method, but complaining on irc (#aegisub on irc.rizon.net), or via email are acceptable as well.

I've fixed this by editing the configuration manually.
I'm in a MAC so the configuration file might be in some other location in your box.
In my case I edited, ~/Library/Application Support/Aegisub/config.json (~ is my home folder)

Open it with a text editor and look for this section:

               "Volume" : 100,
                "Wheel Default to Zoom" : false,
                "Zoom" : {
                        "Horizontal" : 0,
                        "Vertical" : 100
                }

Set the horizontal to ZERO (0) and save.
Now open AEGISUB and check. It should have reset to the default zoom level.

BTW, it's true that the sliders are inoperable. It's like if they have a 0 range.... they don't even slide.

Hi, I just encountered the same problem and found from an older forum that a solution is to lay your mouse over the spectrum and Cmd+scroll up/down. It worked for me.

But prior to finding the solution, I was fiddling with the app and completely lost the audio. Whether I play it from the audio window or the video window, I don't hear anything. You can also see from the screenshot below that there are no waves displaying on the audio portion, though the subtitle markers are still there.

Help please?

@gotwyt, it worked for me! Thank you so much!

[ferngb]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. Glad to have found people with same problem as me !

I remember the problem started for me when I upgrated to High Sierra.... I changed computer and it works fine...

thanks for your solution gotwyt. At least I can work.

But the problem persist. The sliders are still bloked... When I clic on it, it shows me maximum OR minimum level. OK with Cmd+scroll for the zoom ! But the sound level is still at max level, very annoying to work like that...

If anyone find a solution, thank to share it !

[amaipaipai]

Try Alt+O (Options), click at Restore Defaults.



Next press WINKEY+R and type in the command below followed by ENTER:

control mmsys.cpl sounds

Go to your sound card and check your sound levels.

Hello Everyone, I also have a problem with the program

[Attachment 47974 - Click to enlarge]
I upload the video and audio into the program but the audio sound is crack
(I hope that you can understand from the picture, the wave go very high and low, it's looks abnormal. The sound is really crack)
I try to fix it and check every setting but it does not work. I cannot find the reason.
I also did try another audio file, it cracks as well. It happened to all file that i open

Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I'm really worried about it, I was trying to fix it for the whole night.

btw. Im using 3.2.2 version on mac

Thank you in advance

The project’s main developer isn’t active anymore and is no longer maintaining the program. There is one fork that is still being developed whose maintainer you could report those issues to. That’s probably your best shot at getting this fixed. (You could also report this on his discord.)

[amaipaipai]

From your waveform is shown that the audio is too loud already, the slider controls on the right adjust that. What the program calls "Vertical Zoom" are actually volume controls, lowering that will solve your crackling problems. Learn to use the "Spectrum analyzer mode" for a more precise work.

[Gwen]

Firstly, Thank you so much for the answers. I'm new to the forum and did not expect that anyone will reply. Thank you so much

Anyway, I think i get more understand about my problem here. But the slider bar that you're talking about, It seems like I cannot adjust it. It's just a fixed button

[Attachment 47986 - Click to enlarge]
How can I adjust it?

[amaipaipai]

No problem.
I don't have a Mac to test it out, have you tried this solution yet?
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/388806-Aegisub-The-spectrum-zoomed-in#post2521087

On my Linux and Windows Desktop, the controls works just fine.


Maybe is something in your mixer or sound settings?

[Gwen]

I already did it after your suggestion, it's still not fixed.

It's okay, I'll try to find the way. Maybe try to find some window to work on.

Thank you again

Hello, I just created an account to answer:

This code will work:

"Volume" : 50,
"Wheel Default to Zoom" : false,
"Zoom" : {
"Horizontal" : 0,
"Vertical" : 50
}
You just have tu set Volume to 50 and Vertical to 50 too.

That should fix the audio crack

This is very helpful.

I just did it, and it works.

Hello everyone. I've been having the same problem that a lot of you have described. Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed in overly technical solutions. I have the "latest" version of Aegisub running on OSX. I pressed the sliding buttons by mistake and it's been downhill ever since. Now I don't even have sound, after being super loud.

I tried the CMD+mouse scroll but it hasn't solved everything. And for some reason, I can't find Aegisub in the Application Support file, hence can't edit the text.

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

[amaipaipai]

Just open "~/Library/Application Support/Aegisub/config.json" in a text editor and follow the instructions.

[ZaheerMX]

That's my problem right now. There is no Aegisub folder in Application Support. I've already installed it a couple of times :/

[amaipaipai]

Try to go to settings, change something and apply it, this might create a config file for you.

[celinarry]

hey i have the same issue i tried everything but the audio is still too loud... Can anyone help? I'm so done with trying... i tried all solutions, there is no aegisub folder in application support either... so idk how im gonna use the code. I believe thats the only solution but i just can't do it...
