Captions / Subtitles Background to change with text

PostTue Apr 27, 2021 9:54 am

In Premiere the background for captions / subtitles changes with the text, so it fits however long, tall whatever that block of text is.

In Resolve you have set width and height for the captions for it's entirety which looks horrendous.
It would be great to have this option for us

I also would find this very useful. If you do subtitles professionally, this is a must.

100% in favour expanding the available options to suit more users ... but, if you do, please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater as some of us need the existing (fixed background) functionality. Yes, even 'professionally'. ;)

It's always astonishing when I come across a simple feature I would never have guessed could be missing in a professional NLE suite.

I have to revert to using Text+ Clips with the text background enabled in the shading elements. But the subtitle function is much more practical and in cases where I need both a version with burnt-in subs and one without but with a separate srt file instead, my Text+ workaround obviously falls short.

Please Blackmagic add a flexible background functionality to the subtitles tab asap

+1 here as well

First time working with subtitles in Resolve for my current project, and absolutely surprised that there's no option to have the most typical subtitle setup of background color to change with text size and extents.

I see the boxes, but they are useless, as each box would need to be manually edited for each subtitle.

Hi, I registered to add my support for this. Heck, I would pay for the studio version if you could add proper subtitle tools.
