First try: Not a success.

Before the holidays, I subbed my first MV. It isn't one I'm going to upload to the internet, because it was more a practice run than anything else. It already taught me a few things:

1. I got to mess around with several subbing programs, and discover the best tools of the trade.

2. I learnt that most subbing programs don't come with an automatic way to create hardsubs - so I had to spend a lot of time finding a video editor that would give me what I want without a loss of quality.

3. I realised how hard it is to put Japanese metaphors into English.

I'm already into subbing my second MV, and I'm feeling a lot more comfortable with this one than the first. Hopefully it continues along this way!
