Not sure why this is happening, but a few months ago captions posted to AWS and played on JW Player started getting positioned with this blank black space positioned between and .
Perhaps coincidentally, it was around this time that JW Player had an update.
<Pop1> is positioned at (x= 35% – 27.5%, y=79.33% – 5.33%)
<p region=’pop1′ style=’basic’ tts:origin=’35% 79.33%’ tts:extent=’27.5% 5.33%’></p>
tts:origin=”32.5% 86.66%” tts:extent=”35% 5.33%” style=”basic”
<Pop2> is positioned at (x= 22.5% – 55%, y=84.66% – 5.33%)
<p region=’pop2′ style=’basic’ tts:origin=’22.5% 84.66%’ tts:extent=’55% 5.33%’></p>
This is an xml example, but I get the same gawky, black-horizontal-line-between-Pop1-and-pop2 captions if I format them as SCC or DFXP. So, I think it’s JW Player dependent, not caption format dependent.
It reminds me of when Microsoft Word automatically adds 10 vertical pixels spacing between lines of text. The padding below each line can only be undone by going into Word’s Paragraph GUI, and changing the padding from 10 to 0.
I wish I knew how to change the caption lines’ vertical padding on JW Player.
Before: Not too tall, not too short After: Gawky tall caption, I know.
Have you ever had your captions turn gawky?
