The next set of style options control the subtitle background’s appearance. Experiment until you find something that works well. I prefer white or yellow, but black also works well against a white background. Just pick a font color that’s easy to read. The truth is, no font color will stand out against every possible video background. This is a small rectangular area that encloses the subtitle, making it easier to read. Keep in mind, you can also choose a background mask for the subtitles to help them stand out more. Make sure to pick a color that will work with different backgrounds. Apple TV offers 8 different colors for subtitles, ranging from white to black. Make sure to think about how your subtitle choices will work with different colors.įont Color is the next option to customize. Videos have dynamic colors, so if you were to create black subtitle text with no background, it would be illegible on dark video content. You must be aware that certain subtitle appearance options can be hard to read. This helps you get a better feel for how subtitles will look. You may have noticed that as you edit your subtitle style, a preview is shown on the left side of the screen. When you’re finished choosing your font size, click the Menu button to return to the main style options screen. For the sake of not sounding redundant, turning this option off won’t be mentioned much more going forward.
You will need to do this for all of the subtitle customization options. Again, make sure to turn Video Overrides Style to Off. There are five options for font size, ranging from Extra Small to Extra Large. Now that you have selected a font, it’s time to set the font size. Click the Menu button on your remote until you are back on the main style options screen. Make sure to set Video Overrides Style to Off if you change any of these options. These allow you to further define how the font looks on the screen. You can set a variety of advanced options for the font, such as Monospaced Serif, Serif, etc. If you don’t do this, apps such as Netflix will just show the default style. This will ensure that your subtitle choice will work with all videos and they can’t be overridden. Make sure to set Video Overrides Style to Off.
Next, click on Font and choose a style you prefer. Give your subtitle style a descriptive name and then click on Done.
