> a good vector graphics app You'd honestly be surprised by what Aegisub can do. I recently got into fansubbing, mostly as a typesetter, and I'm honestly floored by some of the things I've been able to pull off. I can add text to scenes and make it look like it's part of the video... my favorite effects are the really subtle ones, and it always feels fulfilling whenever I pull something off. Rotation along the X, Y, and Z axes with the ability to place the origin point anywhere (even off screen!), shear on both the X and Y axes (so useful!), gaussian blur with the ability to blur the border separately from the text (blur is the single most important part about getting text to blend into an image, and it's also a great way to generate glow effects), clipping effects, etc. There's even a drawing mode to work with arbitrary shapes instead of text. And on top of that Aegisub comes with support for scripting effects in Lua, which helps smooth over some of the rougher spots. I think the next time I want to shoop some text onto an image, especially when I need to match blur and rotation, I might just convert the image to a short video, load it into Aegisub, typeset some text, and screenshot the video. Disclaimer: I freely admit that I'm a freak and that this probably won't be what most people want. But I find it amusing that a subtitling studio can actually do decent vector graphics, especially with text.
