subs position

[lemgeo]

Hi all,

Is there a limit to the position of a subtitle, or i'm safe as long as i'm on the picture.
I want to avoid some credits and put some subs down or left enough
and i'm not sure if CineCanvas has a limit and projectors wan't cut the subs

Thanks

There is no real practical limit per specs. As it always depends on the actual projector used (and Cinecanvas has proven to be a shaky implementation), you probably shouldn't stretch it too far, that is, around the edges. Also, keep in mind that some installations may use an excessive amount of cropping or non-standard screen aspect ratios (like 2.0:1).

Personally, I haven't experienced problems as long as you stay reasonable. No problem to make sub-titles top-titles.

I remember DCP-o-matic had an unnecessary limit in an earlier 2.x version, but that should be gone for a while now.

The subtitle track must have an extent at least equal to the other tracks.

What makes you say that? It shouldn't be necessary.
