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

Re: Burnt in subtitles shadow is cropped
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.

Hi Carl,
It would be very helpful if I could receive this updated subtitles version today, if possible.
We need to master this DCP for Wednesday, 9th July.
Please let me know if this is not possible, so I can inform my client and better understand your timeframe.
Best regards,
Simon

Hi, apologies for the delay. I'm having some weird problems with my macOS build machine. I'll keep you posted.
Do you have the option to use Windows?

Thanks, Carl, for the work on expediting this!
My apologies that we are all MAC and Linux here.
I will test and confirm today.
