    Ok, got your files, and it works fine on my system. (You should have a .txt file by now.)
    So, ‘something’ is fishy with your Avid… (I have no clue what it is, either your version, or you need a clean install)
    From the images I cannot tell you doing anything wrong, it just does not work on your system.

    Few other points, your work is a bit messy, contains double spaces, extra empty lines, spelling mistakes.
    You should consider cleaning it before sending it out.

    Last but not least, for a feature with 900+ titles, you really should look at a dedicated subtitle app.
    This is (after you’ve mastered it) way faster.
    (My Subbits being one of them.) Shameless self promotion:

    Oh, in ‘Box appearance’, set it to ‘as many rows as needed’.
    Then you will get bottom aligned text. (So a single line appears at the bottom, looks better.)

    hth,

    Thank you for your interest Bouke, I ‘ll keep in mind your notifications, (that was my first editing -I’m a director, usually I just give orders to somebody).
    Any way, the good news is that the problem is SOLVED. I am not sure how, but I will put here my guess for the next despaired director. Maybe, the fact that I opened (for the 10th time) the edit caption, and without changing a thing –Noting at all- I closed it again, using the ok command instead of cancel made it work.
    As magic it’s not my style, is the only explanation I can think.
    Now , I’ll have a look on your subtitling app!
    Thanks a lot!
