What's new in this version:
- SCC Export: Alignment top and bottom: Added centered / centered justified left / right / right justified left Justified left is set as default in Import/Export preferences.
- SCC Export/Import, QuickTime closed caption export: Revised extended character set support
- Corrected closed caption placement for Apple TV encodings.
- BDN Export plugin 1.3: Added left / center/ right justification. Justification requires all characters to be in one font. (Arial and Times contain the music symbol.) Added 8-bit with simple transparency (hard edges, non-transparent shadows.) Limited 8-bit to 255 colors. Fixed stability issues. Up to 50 % faster, but locking rendering.
- Fixed an error that some "Fast Logging" modes were bound to movies with native time-code.
- Final Cut Export XML Export option: backdrop for subtitles (color/opacity,crop). Due to short-comings in Final Cut Pro the width cannot be exactly determined. Use the fine-tuning setting to adjust the width in Final Cut Pro. Then enter the correct value when exporting, the corrected value will fit for all subtitles. This feature requires the included new Final Cut plugin.
- QuickTime movie export: New option to add a semi-transparent backdrop.
- Final Cut Pro Import: Added re-import of subtitles with with fade-in/fade-out exported from Final Cut Pro.
- Updated InqScribe import.

I make Blu-ray titles. We export EBU stl, and have been very pleased that the only adjustments necessary prior to final rendering have been to manually insert the "partial italics". We just finished a major project, and were very happy; but now, the new version would have saved us a couple of hours or more, by importing partial italics automatically. Thank you, Annotation Edit.
This version is a killer

The one weakness that existed in Annotation was that it wouldn't italicize a single word in a Blu-ray title -- like a book title or a ship's name, or the like. This version fixes that. I can't think of a single feature now it doesn't have. Again, the production industry should definitely pay attention to this fast-rising application.

I expressed some hesitation about this package when I first wrote about it, but its steady development, and my growing understanding of the sometimes unconventional way that it works, particularly for title creation, have erased any doubts I had. The Blu-ray plugin, for example, is a plain winner, besting software packages that you pay a lot more for. You can create 32-bit subtitles with alpha channel, and two different sorts of 8-bit titles that work with Scenarist. There's a preview, so you can see exactly what your type will look like.
For many, many uses, you get more from this program than you do from programs that sell for tens of thousands more. Having used a number of software packages out there now, I can recommend this program whole-heartedly. It continues getting better and better. Buy it now before the price goes up!
