Summary0001729: Subtitle setting for vertical alignment (bottom / centered / top)
Description

Hello Carl, Hello Forum,

I have a feature request for the subtitle settings:
Is it possible to add a setting for the text anchor to either »bottom« (default) / »centered« / »top«?

Currently subtitles in DCP-o-matic are by default aligned with the anchor at the bottom - but in some cases it would be useful to set the anchor differently. For example if you include 2 subtitle files (2 languages):

To ensure that the text lines do not take up too much space in the image, it would be nice to be able to set one language with anchor »top« and the second language with anchor »bottom«.
See 2 examples:
01-Subtitles-anchor-bottom-(default).gif
02-Subtitles-anchor-bottom+top.gif

Or - if you place subtitles (1 language) in the black below the film image, it is optically nicer to place the anchor vertically centered.
See example:
03-Subtitles-anchor-vertical-centered.gif

I thank you very much for the great program and its permanent development!
It's a really great job!

(My 3 examples are animated GIFs - I am curious if they work?)

Best regards
