The size of txt subtitles in AutoGK

[MicoMaco]

Hello!

I made a quite a few DVD rips with AutoGK with manually added txt subtitles. After burning them onto the movie (hardcoded subs) I noticed that they were very small. Is there a way to adjust the size of hardcoded subs imported into AutoGK as external txt files?

Regards, MicoMaco

Hi! Is there a way to adjust the size of hardcoded subs imported into AutoGK as external txt files? Have you opened the subtitle text file and read the header?

I believe you'll see entries regarding font name, size and color, among other things...

I'll try to play a bit with txt file, I was using ordinary srt file which doesn't have those parameters in the header. Thx for directing me!

Have you tried the Ctrl+F9 options? There's a setting in there to have AutoGK automatically resize and position the subtitles. See if that helps.

I haven't burned subtitles into a video for quite a while so I can't remember, does AutoGK use VobSub for encoding subtitles? If it does, there should be a shortcut in the start menu for configuring VobSub and you could try adjusting it's default settings.
Sorry if that's not relevant. I've used VobSub and AutoGK now anmd then for encoded subtitles into video but mainly when converting AVIs. I'm not sure how AutoGK works when converting DVDs.

Yes, I've tried ctrl+9 options but there's no option to manually adjust the subtitle size in there and autoGK automation about subtitles does a poor job regarding the size of subtitles. And yes, AutoGK uses vobsub to create and than burn the subtitles from DVD onto the avi. Maybe adjusting default settings for vobsub will work, I'll try that aswell. Thx for the advice.

Try adding the following header to your .SRT file (Yes, I know this says "SSA"):

[Script Info]
; This is a Sub Station Alpha v4 script.
; generated by multiAVCHD 4.1
ScriptType: v4.00
Collisions: Normal
PlayResX: 1920
PlayResY: 1080
Timer: 100.0000
Style: Default,Trebuchet MS,68,&HC6C6C6,&H00ffff,&H000000,&H000000, -1,0,1,4, 3,2, 40,40,68,0,1

The value (68) after the font name is the font size (You MAY also have to change the other "68" that appears as the third from last value)

This is the exact information I was looking for, thx mate!

Let us know how it goes ;>}

It works great, I created/converted srt into ssa(substation alpha) with subtitle workshop 2.51, after that I replaced the default code with something looking like your suggestion.
