• Text color
Position commands
The position commands control the subtitle text block’s position on screen. You can set the
position for the entire script and for individual subtitles. If you import a script that does not
contain position commands into DVDit Pro HD, the imported subtitles are placed at the
position that you last specified in DVDit Pro HD’s Edit Subtitles window.
Each position command must be inserted on its own line before the subtitle strings to which
it applies. The following position commands are supported:
•
$HorzAlign = LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT/FALSE
sets the text block’s horizontal position.
The
LEFT
and
RIGHT
settings align the block to the left and right Text Safe guides,
respectively. The
FALSE
setting means that the pixel-based position commands will be
used instead.
•
$VertAlign = TOP/CENTER/BOTTOM/FALSE
sets the text block’s vertical position.
The
TOP
and
BOTTOM
settings align the block to the top and bottom Text Safe guides,
respectively.The
FALSE
setting means that the pixel-based position commands will be
used instead.
•
$LeftPosition = [number]
sets the distance in pixels from the left edge of the screen
to the left side of the text block.
•
$RightPosition = [number]
