I thought that my previous post was unclear so I like to repost it.
So, I am using Sub Alpha Station to create subtitle for my home video. Then I import the SSA file into MaestroSBT to generate the scripts. When I import the scripts into DVDMaestro, all the subtitle bitmaps are set to black. If I want to change the text to yellow, I would have to do it individually for all 1000 something bitmaps of subtitles. Is there one setting of color change that I can set so it applies to all the subtitles in DVDMaestro at ONCE?

u have to determine the code number of the color u want to use and substitute it in the 'Color (... ... ... ...)' statement.

Unfortunately I cant tell u what position exactly to change cause it depends up on your ripping what color represents what in the final sub. Usually its the 3d position, but u can try and find out.
