It is still centralised from left to right, but it is now higher up the screen at row 250. The following example displays Three Days in Paris starting at frame 30. And if we want more lines with different frame number ranges, then we need a separate subtitle command for each. What if we don’t want the title or caption to be centralised in the frame, but to go at the exact position of our choice? We substitute the –1 for a specific column number. Warning: we’ve always written the parameters in a default sequence, and this allows us to get away with not having to specify each one fully (such as text_color=$ffffff and last_frame=150 etc). …where $ffffff is the hex colour code for white. In the above example the centralised text is only displayed between frames 30 and 150.įinally we can fix the font type, size and colour by adding even more parameters… We can introduce frame numbers to indicate where the text will “switch on” and “switch off”…
…but the text is still tiny, and yellow, and still stays throughout the video. The –1 is shorthand for “centralise between left and right” and the 360 value represents half way down the 720 rows…
The next example centralises the text on the frame.
…but it’s not very useful, since the yellow text will appear in the top left corner of the frame, will last throughout the entire video and on a 720p display the characters will look tiny.
The following command will display the given text in the video frame… This syntax is normally used at the end of your script, after all the previous video editing commands have been given and the output video has been declared. Use the subtitle command within an AviSynth script to embed opening titles or static end credits into your video.
