Hi Brian -

If you're working in the Subtitles module, that can't be done. There are no text transitions or fades. Subtitles aren't intended for "artistic effect" - just a practical device.

You'd be able to do what you want using Titles, rather than subtitles.

Cheers - Tony

Thank you ynotfish for your swift reply. It is useful in certain circumstances to be able to produce an .srt file for subtitle switching off/on in media players. I may be wrong but when in the standard 'title' room that facility isn't available? In other words when you add 'titles' in the title room to a video, slide show etc., although a fade option is available, once the project is rendered and produced there is no 'off' option. The 'titles' are permanently burned onto the end product and cannot be switched off. A simple single 'fade' in/out of subtitles in the subtitle room would make the finished product look more professional. Thanks again.

Brian
