Very new to PD and have questions about what can be 'done' with subtitles? I see they just 'pop' up on top of video at the time I select them to be. Is there any way to fade them (the subtitle text) in like the fade function of the video clips?

Is there some place where it describes in more detail about what effects or transitions can be performed on subtitles? If so, please direct me to such a place and I'll go there and not waste forum time.

Thanks,

playsound, jcardana - thanks for the replies.

I can try using title pages I guess but it seems more clumsy than just putting a subtitle in place.

As far as deaf people not liking fade in subtitles - I know I can make the subtitle longer in duration so that would compensate I think for too short of a subtitle as shown.

Guess I'll get good at making title pages if that's the only way to have a subtitle fade inn or more creatively get a subtitle into a clip.\

Thanks again for the responses.
