UPDATE!

Thanks you for your help

Now i found the solution - it was very easy!!

it only looks wrong in the project preview - after i exported it, it looks fine. Of course! Because it fits to every screen/player etc. automaticly. so i just ignore the wrong preview, edit the subtitles and export the film - that's it.

Interesting. I don't think this will work the way you imagine. But are you sure you have a CEA 608 stream? The characters don't look right.

CEA608 is designed for TV display, and I don't think it will adapt to vertical display. I used a 480x640 square pixel sequence, and the only method I found for getting a conforming 608 Closed Caption stream was to specify overrides (Import Settings in the Caption Panel). When creating a 608, it defaults to horizontal, and there is no option to change the pixel dimensions/shape in the rightclick Modify -> Captions dialogue.

But 608 specifies maximum line characters, and no control of character size. I found I could get 30 characters, and they display nicely. You only have 27, and they are not displayed correctly.

What do you plan for export? Are you planning to embed?
