Gackt - Ghost Preview (English Subtitles)

[ntkufreak.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year's!

In preparation for subbing the Ghost PV when it is released, I decided to try subbing the preview in the meantime...

The full lyrics were posted in B-Pass, thanks to kioku_kagami for reposting them.
The translation is by amaiakuyume thanks for letting me use it!

The subtitles are by yours truly, if there is an error please let me know but please bear in mind I had absolutely no part in the translation. ;)

PS
I have no idea why YouTube butchers the quality because the original file has much better video. Any suggestions, I'd love to hear them...

PPS
Please let me know if you have trouble with the lyrics - I personally can't decide if I like having both the romanji and English, or just the English, I find the romanji fun but a little distracting? And I know the very first sub is a little early, I've fixed it and it will be better when the full PV is released, promise <3

Good job on the subs. They are very well timed!

What size is your video file?
You tube will automatically compress any videos over 100mb in size, but their compression methods often ruin the video. When puting videos on Youtube, try compressing it to fit yourself.

I always use AutoGK to pre-size my Youtube videos to 99mb and it does wonders for the quality of the video once its been uploaded.

I usually compress in Adobe Premiere itself, this video was only 13.5 MB to begin with :\

...Hm, but now that I'm looking at it, even the version I have on my computer has a total bit rate of only 2,500?

But it still looks fine, where the YT version is worse quality than some of the other Ghost previews on YT... huh.

Thanks for the tip on AutoGK, though, I'll have to look for it.
