place a subtitle with adobe encore

[xavier23]

hello.
my film is in 16:9
the subtitles when they are placed within the smaller rectangle of the safe area grid are ridicoulosly "high" and seem a bit too far from the base of my movie when i watch it on a computer.
i find it instinctively a lot better when the subtitle is placed against the baseline of the biggest rectangle.
but adobe don t let me move it there with show safe area on... and if i don t show the safe area i just don t know where to place it and can t be precise.
now will i have to put a tape on my comp screen to tell me where to drag the subtitles
or is it really unsafe to place a subtitle there for tvscreenings?
well i ve noticed that on the dvd from the industry the titles seems much more to be where i d like them to be in my project than high on the screen where they re suposed to be "safe"...any ideas. Thanks. X

Most subtitled videos are viewed on a TV and we see more problems with them being cut off because they were done too low. But this thread would get more answers in our Subtitle Forum. Moving you.

DVDSubEdit will let you position the subs, also change color and font. Most authoring progs have little to no control over this.

thanks but i am not going to another software, it toolk me 1 month to learn encore, another 2 weeks to beautifully edit the sub in the exelent encore which is actually very presise on colors, fonts, antialiasing AND positioning.... exept for that little detail that makes me crazy which is: how to go down the smaller sqare of safe area when safe area is on....
