Hi, Max.
Do you know of a free subtitle editor that has support for the tts:textAlign feature? Or at least a video player or plug-in in which I can see it? I'm not really expecting a free editor to support all features in any of the TTL profiles, but at least the justification. I haven't been able to edit or at least see the justification in SubtitleEdit, and I'm not sure if it's just that I haven't found out how.
Thanks in advance. [/quote]
Hi Carlos,
Professional subtitling tools usually support at least a couple of TTML profiles and the justification attribute in them, but I'm not sure if any free tool does. As far as Subtitle Edit, it's kind of wonky when it comes to TTML1, and even though you can choose the screen region from File > Timed Text Properties (or just by right-clicking the sub in the subtitle list), there's no choice of justification. And even though VLC itself supports .ttml and .dfxp files and displays their tts:textAlign correctly, when used within Subtitle Edit, VLC shows TTML subtitles bottom-centered.
