Problems with sub colors in Spruce

[TonyTony]

Hi
Got a problem with some sub titles,never done them before
and need a little help,please.

1 extract subs with subrip_097b to*.srt

2 convert with subadjust_156 to *.ssa

3 use MaestroSBT Version 2.4.2.0 to create subtiles to use in Spruce.DVDMaestro.v2.9.2915a

I set up MaestroSBT to create white text with black outlines
(using Dooms guide) OK in preview mode

when i view in Paint they are red with black outlines(tried different colours,same result)

when on the DVD they are black with dark grey outlines

This is the header from the created *.son file.

Have you imported the palette file in DVD Maestro? MaestroSBT generates a .spf file along with the script...

Big thanks go to you my friend,worked 100%,
read about 500 pages of manuals,must have
missed it!!!!!!!!!
Awsome software but a little harder to learn
than DVD-IT.

Thank you again

Tony

You should have read the readme.doc that comes with MaestroSBT :D

You're welcome.

Guille & Tony,
can anyone give me a hint how importing the palette file is done?
Can't find that readme file right now... ;-)

[edit]
Finally found it. Thanks for the palette tip anyhow...
