In TitleLAB 0.5b1, how can I position the subtitles at the bottom-center of the image? Right now I'm getting them at top-left. Thanks.

Hi epstewart,
You should do the positioning in QuickTime (Pro).
Once the subtitles are styled how you like them (centered, font type, italic etc.) and you have saved and added it to your video, bring up the movie properties in QuickTime (Apple+j).
Click on "Text Track" in your list of tracks, and switch to the 'Visual Settings' tab. Adjust your offset to move the subtitles around. You should be able to figure out how to set them exactly by using the width and height settings from TitleLab - ie. if your subtitles are 400x40 in dimensions and your video is 640x480, adjust your offset to (VW-SW)/2 and (VH-SH).... that is (640-400)/2 [ie. 120 is your [i]x[/i] offset, because you want the subtitles centered] and (480-40) [ie. 440 for your [i]y[/i] offset, because you want your subtitles at the bottom.
VH=Video Height
SH=Subtitle Height
VW=Video Width
SW=Subtitle Width
Hope this helps :)
