A normal Closed Caption line is 32 Characters of 16 point font, if you have too many characters on a line, you get what you have.

You can format the captions in the Subtitle window of Powerdirector.

You edit each line (Yes, you can only do one subtitle at a time). Unless you use a Subtitle editor.

Use a search engine to find one. There are some good free Subtitle Editors.

1. Not in the Subtitle Room. There is line spacing with Kerning in Titles.
2. Powerdirector has a simple Subtitle editor built in, it is limited in what it can do.

For a good free Subtitle Editor, search for "Subtitle Edit".

Not of a Subtitle.

You can change line spacing in Titles. The Title room is F7 on the Keyboard or the "T" icon on the left side of the interface.

Subtitle Room is the last Icon on the Left or F12 on the Keyboard.

Titles are not Subtitles.
They are two different objects.
