Burnt in subtitles shadow is cropped

Post by spiff »

Hi all,

One of my masters is for 4K DCP with burnt-in subs.
When I select burn in, the subtitles look good, howver the drop shadow is cropped.
It appears to be cropped to the main title bounding box. So any show pixel below the bottom text bounding box is cropped.

Settings are in the images attached.

Can you suggest how to fix this and not crop the shadows?

Best regards,
S

Hi, it seems to be just a bug (shadow was not taken into account when deciding how big a rendered subtitle would end up). I've fixed it locally and it should be better in 2.18.21. If you're in a hurry, let me know and I'll make a build for you to try.
