Frequently Asked Questions
What are subtitle position markers?
Position markers like {\an8} are special codes that tell video players where to display subtitles. They control whether subtitles appear at the top, center, bottom, or specific corners of the screen.
Why don't position markers work in my player?
Not all video players support custom subtitle positions. VLC Media Player, MPC-HC, and other advanced players support position markers. Basic players may show the markers as text instead of positioning.
Can I remove existing position markers?
Yes! Select "Remove Position Markers" from the position dropdown to clean your subtitles and remove any existing position codes that might be displaying as text.
Which position is best for dual language subtitles?
For dual language subtitles, use "Top Center" for one language and "Bottom Center" for the other. You can also use our Subtitle Merger tool to combine two subtitle files with different positions.
