It's working fine.</p>
<p>The thing is, there are a few instances in the movie in which there are burnt-in subtitles in another language, so I want to increase the opacity to 100% and also increase the Text Draw vertical position to cover them.</p>
<p>What would be an easy way to do that only in those specific moments? I tried using the Timecode Comparator to trigger new values but I just couldn't make it work.</p>
<p>The patch I have:</p>

<p>The trick to using the Timecode Comparator actor is that you usually want to set its 'compare' input to 'ge' (greater than or equal to). </p><p>The default setting is 'eq' (equals) but timecode values move so fast that you won't get a trigger out of the Timecode Comparator unless you're doing something unusual like jumping to a set of specific timecodes and freezing the movie.</p><p>'ge' triggers when you're at or past the timecode value you've set up for the trigger, so it basically acts like 'eq' anyway.</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/51364</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://community.troikatronix.com/post/51364</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Woland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Apr 2023 13:27:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to [ANSWERED] Adding formatting changes to subtitles on Tue, 18 Apr 2023 11:04:55 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/5234">@gpeddino</a></p>
<p>I have to run to a meeting, but this should do want you want: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/pazetc2uxymgsv8/Actors%2C%20User%20-%20Timecode%20Trigger%20-%202023-04-17%20-%203.2.6.zip?dl=0">https://www.dropbox.com/s/paze...</a></p>
<p>Basically I made a User Actor to trigger when you pass a certain timecode, then made all those User Actors send a "2" to a Calculator if the condition becomes true.</p>
<p>The Calculator also gets a "1" if the current subtitle text is not blank so if the result of the Calculator is "1", we know it's a regular subtitle and if the result is "3" we know it's a special subtitle.</p>
<p>Every time there's no text it resets both inputs of the Calculator (and the Gate feeding it "2's" from the User Actors) to "0" to prepare for the next subtitle.</p>

<p>This would be much easier to work on if you uploaded the file so that modifications can be made to it directly.</p>
