Does anybody know if there has been any improvement in the subtitle editing section? The main issue in v10 was that you could not pick exactly where the subtitles went... PD17 Ult, PD16Ult, PD15ult + 13ult + 12ult

As far as I can judge, you can only move the position of the subtitles vertically by using blank lines, or horizontally by using spaces.

Just like before then, it hasn't been improved.
Thanks for checking it out.

I had the same question, and I was really hoping v.11 was handling subtitles in a better way. Just tried the trial and it is not so.
No improvement, I cannot decide where in the screen the subs need to appear. In addition to that, one external srt file that I had no problem importing in v.10 is giving an error in v.11 saying the file is empy or incorrect?????? Very disappointed on this side....

You might give 'Subtitle Edit' a try. It can fix Subtitles that will not import into Powerdirector correctly.

Its output is SRT.

Another thing you might try, Load that Subtitle file into PD10 then Export the SRT. Try the PD10 export SRT in PD11.

Hi Javisyd ,
Not that the following helps much at this time.
CL are aware of the issue and are looking to improve in a future release.
