Improving subtitles (once again :p)

(1/5) > >>

Hi!

I hope you are still interrested improving subtitle syncing? I really like to see bigger scale than -1000 to +1000... I have also some difficulties with fast disappearing subs when watching PAL-Speeddown movies (25fps->23.98fps)... One other thing would be shadowing and color changing. Also some other tweaks related to subs quality (opaque, transparency, smoothing...) would be welcome...

SamuelMaki:
*bumb*

Atleast color options would be nice and easy to add...

Matt:
Could you explain why you want a text-based subtitle color other than white?  Is there a readability need, or is it just a personal preference thing?

Do you want it per-file thing or as a global setting?

How about if this thread gets to +10 on votes, we'll do it?

Hence JRiver doesn´t have shadowing, the white subtitles are sometimes too hard to see, especially in quick conversations with white background... I personally prefer light yellow subtitle color, it doesn´t jump on your eyes and it can be readable almost every situation. I would like to implement it to the text-based subtitles font option, so it would show font, size and color... I really like how mpc-hc does subtitles, maybe you can take some ideas from there?

Text subtitles have a black border around white text.  This makes the titles easy to read, even on a white background.

Are you seeing something different?
