Hello,
I am using Maestro for authoring, Maestro SBT for converting from SSA to .SON. I used different colors and color rendering settings. But it does not seem to effect the look in Maestro. I was trying to have one color for text, one for antialias and one for outline (value 2).
After importing into Maestro I could get the colors I wanted by using the subpicture color map within the subtitle editor. But, and that drives me nuts, it was not possible to have white text fully displayed without covering everything else. It is like the bmp picture contains as its inherent backgound white that gets also stressed when I want to stress white in the color map. Am I doing wrong or is it the program, either Maestro or Maestro SBT? I only could get arround by using red for the primary text color in Maestro SBT and then assigning white to this red color.
When I set my first subtitel in Maestro, which I had to do, since the Color Palette File *.spf did not represent the look I wanted, I looked at the second and realized I would have to do the same setting again, and again and again for all of the 1200 or more subs. There must be a way to standardize one setting for all other subs, isn't there?
Help is greatly appreaciated. This is my first post. I looked in the Manual for Maestro 2.8, through the forum, in the directions within Maestro SBT, but the only thing I got, was that it should be resolved with the *.spf file, but it did not.
Kind regards,
Alban
