Preferences - Captions

Choose how you want ALShow to display captions and subtitles.

Captions

Choose your font, colors, size, and add any text effects that you want displayed onscreen for captions and subtitles. You can also set where you wish captions and subtitles to be displayed on screen. Please note that while the horizontal options are expressed as a percentage of the total margin (a relative number), the vertical options are absolute, i.e. the vertical position refers to where the baseline of the caption will be displayed relative to the height of the displayed video.

Caption Rendering Options: Captions and subtitles can be displayed on top of a video or rendered directly into the video when you want to watch it on your television set. Use the [Overlay] option unless you plan to view a video on your television set, in which case use the [Direct Image (TV-out)] option.

Internal / External Captions: ALShow can use it's own internal captioning filters to display captions and subtitles, or you can turn them off to use external captioning filters. In rare cases, if you are using ALShow's internal captioning filters, the external filters may also display a second set. If this happens, check the [Don't use ALShow's internal caption filters.] option to fix the situation.
