Configure Export - Boxing
This topic describes how to configure options for exporting subtitles in certain image-based formats. These options allow you to customise the appearance of the rendered images in various ways.
These settings are accessed via Toolbox->Configure->Customer : Export->Boxing
Currently, the boxing settings apply to the following NLE export formats:
-
Final Cut Pro - this format consists of a set of tif or png images (one per subtitle) plus an XML control file.
-
Adobe Premiere - this format consists of a set of png images (one per subtitle) plus an EDL control file.
Note that unlike the other Configure Export settings which are stored per-customer, the Boxing settings are stored per-workstation and are global to all users of a particular workstation.
The options allow you to configure the appearance of the images as described below:
Sets the degree of transparency of the subtitle text.
These settings allow you to display a background box around the subtitle text.
An Effect type of 'None' selects no boxing, otherwise a box in the chosen style will be displayed. The boxing colour can be selected from the drop-down list.
Semi-Transparency : Sets the transparency level of the background box.
Extra Spacing... : Allows the background box to be extended further to the left and right edges of the subtitle text
Use these settings to fine-tune the position of the subtitles.
Use these settings to fine-tune the quality, thickness, brightness and contrast of the subtitle text.
