.... and so on..

have worked fine before, I use Scenarist 3.0, allso tryed today with 2.6 and 2.7, same result.

How do I change direct in scenarist, the subtitle colour , not one by one (that would take a weeks), I mean so there´s a default that Scebarist will use all the time, even after import from a script, for me one type of colour for subtitle will work every time, so please help.

Have here 4 days of downsampling with Sopranos S4 D1-4 that will have to be trashed if I cant solve this.

THX in advance, MaistroX

Ps. I used; DoItFast4U 1.4.7 , Scenaid 1.0(PRE RELEASE 6) , Scenarist 3.0

showthread.php?s=amp;threadid=80733

is how to do it.. (if i understand your request). Now a sticky.

oki, that worked for VTS01_001_TRACK + VTS01_003_TRACK but on VTS01_002_TRACK and VTS01_004_TRACK I get all black, I attach a file to show, what do I do then ?

Oki, solved it by delete all inported and inport to scenarist all over again, but what progg is it that has this bug so u have to redo all sub colours by hand in the end, shound´nt that work all by it self ?

with the latest version of Scenaid PRE RELEASE 6 (8/20/2004), the majority of subtitle issues, in relation to colours has been fixed, although  there are a few things to note:

1.you have re-ripped the subs using DIF4U as a front-end to the custom vsrip, vsconv D3s7 included in the pre-release version.

2. that you have selected 'use original palette' in the subs options of Scenaid.

3. that the versions of vsrip/vsconv in the DIF4U program folder are the same as in the Scenaid program folder.

if you are still getting sub colour errors, please post in the Scenaid thread as i am sure D3s7 would like to hear about it.

now all that being said, i recently processed a WB's movie where the sub colours defied logic, so there was not much that could be done apart from changing the colours as described in the link trahald gave you.

ps trahald, thanks for updating the guides/faq's sticky for me ... its the one thing i keep forgetting *slaps head*
