Burning Hard Subs + Preparing Raws for Aegisub

My method for making hardsubs from .ass files and various formats of raw video. As always: I have no idea what I'm doing and there is probably better advice somewhere out there.

You're an excellent teacher, and the few tutorials you have are great. There are dozens, probably hundreds of tutorials on YT, but finding someone who has a gift for explaining/showing things is not very common. I've given up on the idea of burning my subs (too much time on my slow machine), and still found this video very useful, and your instructions and explanations easy to follow and understand.

Amazing tutorial, goodbye Handbrake!
Would be useful to see at least a quick, 3min, Sub-along but in Real-Time Speed, without explanation or comments.
To have an Idea/Reference of how other people work and how fast they are.
Is hard to know if I´m fast or slow and how much improvement can be made without seeing other people doing the same.
