VF file - Subtitle Size
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2022 12:20 pm
Hello yet again,
I've encountered this issue before, but always ended up ignoring it and making a burned version instead.
When making a VF file, specifically only for subtitles (using OV's sound and image), I've noticed that even when I change the subs' size or offset, it ends up with the "native" characteristics. For example, If I make a VF file changing none of those specs, and one changing the scale, they will end up looking the same. At least when I replay them on the DCPomatic Player.
My need on changing these specs relies on the fact that the subs appear too big, when on the 100% scale size. I always end up changing it to 70-75%.
Is there a reason this happens? I'm using a srt file, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
