For landscape video

  1. Create a project with 1920x1080 resolution create project 1920x1080

  2. Add a 1920x1080 resolution image and add a subtitle by pressing control+T Add image and subtitle

  3. Let's take a look when the subtitle on these four positions respectively:

left border center title on left border center

right border center right border center

top border center top border center

bottom border center bottom border center

For the four image above, we can draw a conclusion: the origin of coordinates is at the center of the video

For horizontal direction, we had 1920 pixels, half(960) for left and half(960) for right, the x coordinate of left border is -960 and is +960 for the right border

For now, everything looks right, everything acts as what I expected. But this theory seems not work at vertical video(1080x1920) at all.


For vertical video

For vertical video, it's in a similar way, it had 1080 pixels for the x axis, half for top side and half for the bottom side, the y coordinate of the top border is +540 and it's -540 for the bottom border.

  1. Create a project with 1080x1920 resolution create project 1080x1920

  2. Add a 1080x1920 resolution image and add a subtitle by pressing control+T Add image and subtitle

  3. Let's take a look when the subtitle on these four positions respectively:

left border center(if it’s as we expected, the x coordinate should be close to -540, but why it's -294?) left border center

If we set the x coordinate to -540, the subtitle is totally out of the video box subtitle out of the box

right border center(if it’s as we expected, the x coordinate should be close to 540, but why it's 306?) subtitle on right border center

If we set the x coordinate to 540, the subtitle is totally out of the video box top border center

For vertical direction it's similar, it should be +960 and -960, but if we set it to +960 and -960, the subtitle is totally out of the video box enter image description here enter image description here

Anyone who knows why the vertical video subtitle position not acts like it in landscape video?

This question was posted elsewhere, and got a response on another website. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253353300

Did you try using the Transform tool in the Video pane, instead of the Text pane? AFAICT, this always gives the expected result (at least it did in several times that I tried). enter image description here --Luis Sequeira1

If that does not work, maybe our brothers over at https://video.stackexchange.com/ know?
