Any control on font size using AutoGK?

[Valerc]

It´s just that I tried a different way to encode it, to compare... But it´s not the version you are seeing because I didn´t upload it yet.

With blurry subs I mean that the font edges are blurry, they are not sharp. The were much better with AutoGK, except for the size.

Ahh.. interesting what you say about the frame rate... Well, I looked on GSpot and the original frame rate for the J Dean part is 29.4 instead of 29.97. Could that be a problem? The street parts original frame rate is 30.01

What could I try to improve the entire clip? Or should I go to each part?

We can't give you specific help unless you give specific details

All these are film clips , they should all be 23.976 . The entire piece should be 23.976

But maybe the other person that uploaded the clips that you used for sources, or you, or some programs settings were set incorrectly

But I have given you specific details.. As much as I can. )

I am confused with the frame rate. I though that near 30 was the best. I am not sure.... And I thought that 29-ish and 30 were the same for practical effects.

I am not too worried about the blurry subs. I guess I can let that pass. But I would like to improve a bit the encoding process to get a general better quality, fluency of images. Any idea of what I could do?

You need specific info on each clip. Because there are different problems with each section

"Best" is the original. These are all film clips from Hollywood movies. The original frame rate will be 23.976 , but who knows what was done in the intermediate steps by other people. All sorts of things might have been done to screw them up.

Not sure what you mean by "fluency of images" ?

[Valerc]

LOL... I love to talk to you not only because you are so kind and helpful, but also because you translate all my doubts into technical language...

Fluency... I mean what you call suttering.

Great to know that about the frame rate! I didn´t know Hollywood had a standard for that.

Not all are Hollywood movies, LOL... One clip is Isabelle Adjani in Andrzej Zulawski's Possession.

Hey, thanks so much. You are really good to explain things.

I see, but the point is the same. It's not really a Hollywood standard, 24p is standard film rate (even from other countries - "film" is the standard)

It might be that the person before you messed up the clip. I don't want to discourage you, but you would have to examine each clip and fix it before putting it together into your composition (this is a big job and lots of learning if you're new to these things) . You have to learn about pulldown (telecine), inverse telecine, fields, frames etc... But I can tell you for certain that all the clips in that composition youtube video have problems (they are not playing like they should be - either wrong framerate, duplicate frames, combed frames)

[Valerc]

I agree that the videos are not the best. But what I am showing is not really the videos, but the subtitles. Obvioulsy, I need the videos too to show the subs in action. For that purpose I wanted the images to look rather good, so I chose the best ones I could find online. Those I have are better than others available, despite their problems. But like I said, the focus in on the subs...

Also, every time I synch any type of subs, I work with a low quality video for size reasons. In that case, what matters is that the subs are later attached to a good quality video.

So, this was a special case just to show the subs in action... ))
