Many thanks for ther expanded and well rounded guide to the SRT actor.
It makes a lot of sense. From the start, I had my SRT file(s) in a different folder due to jumping around doing numerous items. I did not think this would be part of the issue but I should have known better.
To confirm, via your guide above, I can get the SRT actor to work correctly and the subtitles appear in my variety of test movies.
I have missed the boat for this particular occasion. The request was on Sunday for a presentation/opening on Monday am. I will happily keep this guide in my bag of Isadora's tips and tricks.
Many thanks for the effort and time put in to explain and clarify how best to use this actor. As usual, it is much appreciated and I am grateful for the back up and support these forums always offer.
