Hi gurus

I'm currently working on a subtitle. The studio, Puretaboo.com, has a massive watermark/logo on the bottom right, taking up a goodly portion.

My player insists on centering the subtitles, and part of the subtitles go onto the logo.

Is there any way, in SRT files, to dictate where the subtitles should appear?

Not a problem for myself, as my app allows me to place the subtitles anywhere on the screen. However, if someone cannot move them, and cannot insert a background colour for the subs, this could be a problem.

All help gratefully received.

Head scratching-ally.

Hi,

SRT files don't really support this feature, but there's an unofficial method for text coordinates.

Official tags:
Bold – b…/b
Italic – i…/i
Underline – u…/u
Font color – <font color="color name or #code">…</font>

Unofficial:
text coordinates can be specified at the end of the timestamp line as X1:… X2:… Y1:… Y2:…
Ex:
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:18,247 X1:201 X2:516 Y1:397 Y2:423
<font color="#fbff1c">Whose side is time on?</font>

I have never tested this method and I don't know if the format is in pixels, and it is possible that some players and TVs do not support it. (In general, TVs don't like tags.)

I don't recommend it, but you can try it and see if it works (and create two versions of your SRT).

Have a nice day :)
