changing subtitle colours in scenarist

[OogaBooga]

how do you change the colours for ALL the subtitles in scenarist? i imported a reauthorist script and the subtitle colours are wrong. i can change the subtitle colours one at a time in the simulation window but there are about 5000 subtitles to change. i tried selecting all subtitle files in the track window but only the colours only change for the first file i selected.

You have to change the Color Palette for the track...
Go to Simulation Window of your track and look at the default colors at the "Subpicture and Highlight" tab...
Let's say that the outline of the sub is yellow and the inside is red... You want that the outline is black and the inside white, right? Ok, note down the colors that need to be changed and go to Tools>Choose Color Palette and choose "Add". Now, double click the color that needs to be changed, for instance double-click yellow (which is the outline) and change it to Black. Do that for the red(which is the inside of the text) and change it to white...
Now all your subs of THAT track change to that color...
You have to go to every track of your project and just now change the palette to the one you have already created...

Now, if the transparencies are wrong, go to the .sst script and change manually(in WordPad or Notepad) the line that says:
Contrast (0 15 15 15)
and then re-import the subtitles
You have to make a trial and error here...
In order to have the subs appear with the video showing at the back, ONE of those numbers should be 0...
So, you need on of the four,
(0 15 15 15)
(15 0 15 15)
(15 15 0 15)
(15 15 15 0)

depending on the subpicture's background color.(I think for red you need the first one, black for the second, blue for third, and white for fourth)
