How to locate ASS subtitles above black bar?

[Bsmooth]

I'm using Subtitle Edit to put ASS and SRT subtitles on my movies. However getting consistent with them seems impossible. I tried locating them at the same point such as 960,790, but it doesn't always put them in the same place. They are 1080 movies BTW, so to center them always use 960, but height seems to be the issue most of the time.
Can I use the width of the image to locate them ? Say I had 48 font subs and I wanted to locate the them say at 60-70 above the bottom black bar. Would that work accordingly to the width of the film ?

Well.. SRT and ASS are two completely different format of subtitles. SRT can't be stylized nor precisely positioned, while with ASS you have a complete control on WHERE and HOW.

With the ASS format you can set the anchor position of the subtitles relative to the video (TOP/BOTTOM/RIGHT/CENTER/LEFT) and even the distance in pixel from every border. I use KaiNote for my subtitles (since it has styles collections, an amazing feature subtitle edit doesn't have, sadly).. and it's very very easy to set those parameters with it.

A few players support \pos tags in SRT files. For example:

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:2,900
{\pos(200,150)}200,150 is about the center of the frame,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:4,900
{\pos(200,150)}regardless of the frame size.

MPCHC, MPCBE, and PotPlayer support this.
