Slanting Subtitles a big no no.

Archive: 7 posts


Hello people, ive just been through the FAQ thread and i can't find what im looking for regarding Subtitles.

At the start of my level i have a cut scene, explaining what is about to happen and i have used the subtitle magic mouth
on a sequencer like normal.

Problem is when i play test the scene, the subtitled sentence is all scew at an angle.

It looks to sloppy, so i was wondering does anyone know how to fix this please?

I want it nice and straight and professional looking, not like it was done whilst i was drunk lol.

I've noticed this as well and I hate it. I think it has something to do with your camera angles and whether or not the subtitles are present during a movie cam transition. I have not been able to pinpoint a cause though.

I'd love to know a fix to this as well (or at least the root cause).

I'm totally with RtooDee2 on this one, it looks sloppy and I hate it...

I think the cause is movie cameras. I don't have the issue when its just the subtitles by themselves, but If a movie camera is on, the words slant.
Maybe post this as a problem on GetSatisfaction?

I have come across this a couple times. I'm not sure if it's a camera issue or a bug because I was playtesting one of my levels with a friend and the subtitles were crooked for him, but they looked fine on my screen. Either way, it is definitely annoying.2011-05-25 16:50:00

I thought it was just the style of the game? The subtitles enlarge from random directions and appear at slight angles, reflecting LBP's playfulness in general. Consider this, if you're on your pod menu when you highlight a new option it animates and lands at a random angle, going back and forth between options causes it to set at a different angle every time. I hope you understand what I mean... I think this is just the way subtitles work too?2011-05-25 22:18:00

It is the style of the game and cannot be fixed.

I don't have a big problem with it; whatever I make will always have a LBP2 feel to it. It will never be a Halo, a CoD or a GT. Instead it will be a parody of those games, Sackboy style. Embrace it and don't take things too serious.

You could always capture text that you composed into stickers, slap that across holo and light up the holo in sequence.

That does work, but it doesn't have that "professional" look to it that looks really good...
