Question

Text/Subtitles change position during rendering.

Hi,

 

I'm finally using my Premiere Elements 2018 to edit some gameplay videos, and I've added some subtitles to a clip. However, after rendering, some of these subtitles swap with, or even replace, others and end up in all sorts of different positions across the clip. Has anyone had this issue before/know how to resolve this?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Eddie

It's most likely related to your source video, which isn't matched to your project specs. Screen recording software is notoriosu for creating video at non-traditional resolution and specs. And that can throw the alignment of graphics and text off.

 

To see if that's the case, open one of your gameplay videos in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the text of that report and paste it to this forum. Once we know these detailed specs and the settings for your Premiere Elements project we'll better be able to advise you.

I don't know what an SNV2 codec is, but that may well be the issue. I don't see an issue with the rest of the specs.

 

As a test, convert one of these videos to a standard MP4 using Handbrake and the settings I describe in this tutorial. Then create a new project, place your titles and see if this changes your results. If it does, you'll know that that's the issue.
