The Import Subtitles (Text Script) dialog box includes the following options:

Text formatting options Set the font, font style, stroke, and other attributes of the text. These options are the same

as those in the Character panel with the exception of Stroke Weight . A stroke (or outline) can increase the contrast

between the subtitles and the video and improves readability.

Bounding box coordinates Adjust the position and size of the bounding box. Each value specifies the screen pixel

coordinate for an edge (left, right, top, and bottom). You can also drag the corner handles or edges of the bounding

boxinthedialogboxpreview.Ifnecessary,youcanadjustthesizeoftheboundingboxforeachclipafteryouplace

them. (See “To edit, reformat, or move subtitles” on page 156.)

Text orientation Sets the orientation of the text, either horizontal or vertical .

Text position within bounding box Sets the position of the clip within the bounding box. A value of 0% aligns the

first line of the subtitle with the top of the bounding box for horizontal text, and with the right edge of the bounding

box for vertical text. A value of 100% aligns the last line of the subtitle with the bottom edge of the bounding box for

horizontal text, and with the left edge of the bounding box for vertical text.
