Move subtitle position
Move subtitles to another part of the frame — clear of burnt-in captions along the bottom, or a player's own controls, without moving the text off-centre.
The AI Subtitle Studio desktop app has this same Tools section built in — plus AI transcription, translation and batch processing for a whole season at once, all running locally on your Mac or PC.
The right markup for the file you upload
As with colour, position is expressed differently in each format — this tool writes what the file you upload will actually honour.
| ASS / SSA | An {\an1}–{\an9} override at the start of each line — the format's native numpad scheme, where 1 is bottom-left and 9 is top-right. |
|---|---|
| SRT | The same {\an} override. SubRip has no positioning of its own, but VLC, mpv and everything built on libass read the tag; players that don't simply ignore it. |
| WebVTT | Real cue settings — line, align and position — rather than markup, which is how WebVTT expresses position. Browsers honour these. |
Signs and typeset lines stay in place
An ASS file may place a line at exact coordinates with {\pos(…)} or animate it with {\move(…)} — a sign on a wall, a caption tracking an object. Those tags are not alignment and are left exactly as they are, so a typeset release keeps its signs in place while its dialogue moves.
Where a line already carries an alignment override, the new one replaces it rather than being added in front of it, so running the tool twice doesn't leave two competing tags behind.
