There is one feature I really need, and that is the addition of vertical alignment 'bottom'. It's the standard for subtitles here in The Netherlands. I would be happy to donate a few euros if you add this feature because then I can really start using it. Of course the 5.5 update would also be welcome. Hi Paul,

It would require a collaboration between myself and the author of ArabicText to get this working in ImportSubtitles as I'm not familiar with the problem it solves. You're only the second person who has asked about this, and I can look into it, but I'm afraid it won't happen any time soon.

I'm trying to import an Arabic translation. I can get the unicode text file reading right to left and it imports correctly though some of the characters aren't joining properly or have slightly different characters. When I use the Arabic text import script it comes in fine so I know it's not a font issue. Any suggestions as I have a good couple of hours worth of video to subtitle and I really don't want to have to do it line by line..! Hi Paul,

I have another script that reads subtitles from SubStationAlpha files, but it doesn't read the formatting which may be what you were asking for: http://aescripts.com/pt_ssakaraokeanimator/ Scripting doesn't have much support for setting text styles like italics, especially when you may want to combine regular, italics or bold on the same line. It's not 100% impossible, but it would involve some tricky workarounds. I'd recommend filing a feature request for scripting to be able to set Bold, Italic, etc, and be able to set different styles for different characters on the same line of text: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish Hi Georgios.

Thanx for the script. Now that you are working again with the script can you make it understand <i> tag for italics etc or even SubStaionAlpha?</i> Hi Paul. Thanx for the script.
