Keep using svp13 for subs or change?
I have Sony Vegas Pro 13, architect 6, caption assistant, vegasaurus, handbrake.
Today:
I wanted to end up with an mp4 with captions burned in & coloured for different speakers and occasionally moved around the screen.I had some captions from you tube which needed correcting.
They would only export in sbv format.
None of my captioning programs could read in sbv.
I used an online conversion to get srt .
I imported to Vegas but wanted to change them all to bottom Centre & couldn’t figure out how to do that all at once?
Then, I wanted to change the colours of some of them but couldn’t get hoe to do that either, even after reading the help section.
Then I thought caption assistant would read the srt s and allow me to change them, but it only seems to read in text files, correct? It couldn’t pick up the srt S as they were in the Vegas project, or process the existing markers in the project, it wanted me to retime.
I then converted to text using vegasaur which retained all my timings which was good but I had a lot of trouble changing thea titles&text template to suit my needs.Anyway I know this was way too long a process but I don’t actually know what the best process is. I have to be able to burn in but I also need to be able to edit the footage (add copyright notices and cut sections out), Plus full control of subs formatting.
Maybe I should be doing my subs in something like subtitle edit and then burning with handbrake?
Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi Amanda !
You may want to take a look at Caption Assistant from Vasst.
Works beautifully.
I am not sure if they have a ”Try before you buy” option.
