Hi Jeff.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Normally I capture straight from the SD card onto my MAC and then bring it into Premiere using the DVCPROHD setting when starting a new sequence.

We also have a NINJA system that can fit directly to the camera…

Thanks

I export the subtitles and then reimport them, it brings up a window with various settings including margin

But, I found if I removed the text outline, the issue disappeared and I could them have the text the size I wanted (26).

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the response Dave. Unfortunately it did not work.

BUT…..

When I removed the outline, it worked perfectly even with the 72/648 margin setting. Also, I could increase my font size without any trouble.

So there seems to be 3 random fixes throughout this thread for this issue…. mmmm… It doesn’t quite narrow the underlying problem down though.

Still no luck. I have now dropped the font size to 15 which works but it is way to small. I have also reduced my left and right margins to Left and Right to 102 and 618 but still no luck.

Is there a magic character count or something?

The minimum font (ariel) size I would like to go is 20.

Im getting really desperate now and have even removed 3 out of the 4 ST tracks to try to rectify the ‘problem’ but alas still nothing.

Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply Dave but it has not worked. Although I did learn how to open the margin window!!!

As I feared,when I added the final sub title track, I could not build the dvd as the same error message popped up. Again, I may need to reduce the font size, but Im worried that by doing so you wont be able to read the text! What would the best font and minimum safe size be?

I will try to adjust the left and right margins again by a further 10 units and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for your speedy response by the way.

Hi all.

I am having real problems with this issue.

I have tried reducing the font size and although this does work, every time I add a new language, I have to reduce the font size again. I went from 32 to 27 and now Im on 20. I have one more subtitle track to add and I am worried that I will have to reduce it again in which case, there will be no point as the font will be too small.

I have put the subtitles in manually as I have 4 great translated scripts.

Also, I have noticed a few threads on here that recommend changing the margin size. Where in Encore CS5.5 can you do that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Jon, I figured as much but I just wanted to be 100% sure.
