About Ameko

Ameko is a cross-platform editor for Advanced Substation Alpha (ASS) subtitles.

Roadmap

Milestone 1 - MVP (Complete!)

The goal for Milestone 1 is to have a Minimal Viable Product, or MVP. For Ameko, the MVP is delivering a feature-rich subtitle editor. While Ameko intends to be an editing suite in its final form, the MVP is simply an editor. Thus, the MVP is missing many critical features most would consider invaluable to the subtitling workflow, such as video and audio support, graphical tools, or even displaying a preview of the subtitles you're writing.

However, the intent of Milestone 1 as a MVP is to serve as a proof of concept for the viability of Ameko, Holo, and AssCS, and as such, the ability to edit subtitles will serve the role of the "minimum product." Ideally, the MVP should include all major editing features that don't require video or audio as part of their workflow.

Milestone 2 - Video

Video is clearly the second most important feature for a subtitle editor (behind only subtitle editing features). Video loading will be provided via Plugins so Holo/Ameko is not dependent on any one source. The first video provider will be FFMS2. The full specifics of the video milestone are still in the air; it is currently unclear if features like subtitle rendering will be included within or pushed to a different milestone. The current goal and focus of this milestone is to have a working video player.
