SUP GUYS I have a present for you all!

Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Fullmetal Alchemist PV 2 (subbed)
Youtube link

I don't have a lower-quality download because I. Didn't feel like making one.

It's basically the same as the last one except Al is the one speaking. I mean, the animation isn't the same, but. idk whatever.

I subbed it primarily to practice transforming text (moving, changing size, etc.). Also I finally got all my old fonts onto my new computer, so I used a different font for the subtitles this time. Tell me if you like it, you hate it, or you just don't care you just want to know wtf they're saying!

Actually just give me feedback on anything, I'm not exactly a pro at subbing (yet?) after all.

Looks good to me. :) Although the red outline on the font looks good in the trailer, it might not be as good in future episodes, so maybe switch to a more neutral color?
 
Wow! I've been wondering what was being said. Thanks! The subs are really good and easy to read. I've actually never seen the commericial with Al talking, and I've been watching for these things like a hawk... Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
And good luck on future projects!
 
@M: I was going for a kind of maroon or a burgundy color - red seems to fit the franchise well in general, after all. Of course, a BRIGHT red would be awful, so I was trying for a darker shade.

Maybe I'll make it a bit transparent, so that it'll blend a bit more with whatever images are on-screen at the time (like, if there's a shot of Risembool, it won't be all like "HAY HERE'S SOME GOOD OL' RED CLASHING WITH UR GREENS AND BLUES"). Or I could make the color a little darker; I don't want to get too close to black though, black outlines are boooooring. :| Well, we'll just have to see what happens. XD

Thanks for the feedback!
 
Hey~ pretty good sub! :) Good typesetting and font choice. Also, translation is awesome.
The only thing is that I don't like the fading subs... this coming from a timer/typesetter. ^^;

P.S. Could you tell me where to find the raw for these if you have them? I only found the first one in HD.. T_T
 
@ Yuumei: Ahaha, the fading subs was because I used the exact same subs (timing and everything) from the first PV, which had some scenes fading in and out in the video. The fading subs were to match that, and I... just figured it wasn't a big enough deal to fix for this one. XD

I get the raws by digging the HD Youtube files out of my browser's cache, and then converting the flv file to avi. (If you're using Firefix you can find the address of your Firefix cache directory at about:cache. Then, you can load the HD video in Youtube [make sure it loads completely], and look for the most recent cache file [which should be a few megabytes or so and easy to spot]. Copy that cache file to another location, rename it so that it ends with the .flv extension, and voila!)
 
Cool, I like. The font is nice, but as said above, colours may depend on how it looks. The red in general is nice though.
 
@ Nice Boat: Thanks for the feedback, and your name is awesome.
 
Hey, thanks a lot!! :D

I also didn't know you did the other promo. XD *download*
 
I'm really happy with your subs so far. I think the burgundy-transparent outline for the text sounds like a good idea, though I'm not sure if it will work.

And wow, I didn't know you could get such good HD videos off youtube like that! Thanks.

On another note, are you guys going to sub the newest trailer with the ending song?

(April cannot come soon enough. ><)
 
My heart is pounding... Thanks for the subs! ^_^ But they just make me even more impatient... >_<
 
@Yamamoto-Kou: Ahaha, I just saw your comment now, and actually I already have that trailer subbed and uploaded - I'm about to make a post with it now. :)
