Re: [Avid-L2] subtitles, subCap still sucks!

 

Just checked, not sure if we're running a different version, but increasing 'row spacing' in the Box options does the trick.


And I started writing a SOP for Hubcap when I discovered two other bugs:

Note, I don't like a box, but want an outline instead. No shadow. For a test, i've turned ON a big white box to display the outline very clear, and switched to P to have my client monitor full res while editing the SubCap effect.

- Sometimes the outline is cropped off on the left. (Start a line with a Capital T, font Arial). Seems the image taken to create the outline is too small. Adding a space before the text fixes this. 

But it gets worse...

- Depending on the width of the line AND the 'outline weight'  in the Text properties, the outline is NOT equal around the chars. Change the outline weight value with the wheel, or change the text (just type) you can see the outline jump around in an illogical way.

That's a dealbreaker for me…
(And then Arial Narrow is always set to Italic… And font styles can't be mixed within a title, and it crashes a lot, and….)

SubCap is still there, and it still sucks (On a lot of fonts, it crops a bit of the bottom.)

I found I could fix that by changing the leading setting. FWIW.
