I got all excited about the Subtitles track and used a load of supplied SRTs to subtitle about a dozen spots (some long form, too). All looks great in Flame, but when you export (either render in foreground or not) they all look terrible. Doesn’t make any difference what format I export, mp4 or ProR…

What makes it more annoying is that on one subtitle for about 10 frames it look perfect. So there’s something odd going on somewhere.

I was excited too. In Flame it’s using active filtering and looks great, but on export it’s basically the old Text module with zero anti-aliasing.

Might this help? [image] How to Burn In subtitles Flame Questions It is not recommended, as you will no longer be able to use the export and player subtitles specific options, but you can convert a Subtitles Track into a regular video track and use the subtitles as a regu…

No, unfortunately not. I gave that a go earlier but it came out the same.

That’s weird, I did some recently and they were okay, probably not amazing but not jagged at least. I’m on Linux and was using Flame 2024.2. I did some with “Include Subtitles” selected and “Burn in Image” Also did some with “export as files” and the srt’s worked as well. I just did a quick test…

One thing that might throw you off is that the subtitles on the timeline are rendered on-the-fly overlayed on the viewer; for instance if you zoom the viewer in, they look razor sharp as they’re rasterized at whatever scaling factor over the viewer, as opposed to the text being rasterized at the seq…

Hi Andy, Did you get this working in the end? And out of interest are you seeing this result on Mac or Linux? I’ve just moved my subtitling project from Linux onto my Intel Imac for portability and I am noticing some crunchy aliasing which wasn’t there before. It appears to me as though there is…

Working on Mac, so that could be the issue. In the end I decided I was being too picky, sent off to client for approval and they were happy. Would be interested to compare linux with mac, so will try that out this week and report back.

We have a job coming up where we would need this feature pretty extensively however the text looks not-so-amazing. I’m really surprised there’s no way to control the amount of aliasing. That said, having all the attributes link up is pretty slick. Now make those curves just as slick and we can call…

I used this function once. I bailed after that and went back to the old way. I felt like I “got away with it” on the one job and didn’t want to have the future experience of converting an entire set of spots at the last minute because some art directed got a bug up his ass about the jaggies on the…
