I know well that my question isn't a real question without other elements.

The parsing system of .srt inside a coll works very fine.

I'm using a jit.lcd in order to display subtitles, process the result through an alpha blend like in the picture

Basically, I have the whole system working.

the main problem is the quality when I update subtitles.

Of course, I fire messages for EACH frame to re-display the subtitle because the system is done like that :-(

the part where the main movie is linked to jit.lcd and where the whole subtitle system is.

the 2 connections coming from the left just bang each on each frame change!

I guess the logic is ok but the lcd/alphablend/qmovie objects are not well architectured/organized.

sometimes, it flickrs a bit...

The thing should be done on another way.

can I use jit.alphablend & jit.lcd more like in the tutorial 29 BUT with a solid color ? (and not like in the tutorial, where the letters are not in solid color, but kind of "added" or "multiply" or whatever with the color of the background)

it seems I just solved that by... being a little smarter than before :-/

[jit.op @op +] is very enough to make a "+" operation on the two matrices:

Now, another problem: the character encoding (I guess)

[jit.op @op +] is very enough to make a "+" operation on the two matrices:
- the initial movie
- the LCD text generated with jit.lcd

Now, another problem: the character encoding (I guess)
The right word is : Subtìtulo

i think is something about the ascii character encoding of your system... im getting correctly displayed "subtìtulo"

from a normal message box to a lcd..
good luck!


photoshop,indesign and all the other display very well ì & other characters.

hi carsol,
thanks for your feedback
my system is just windows 7
photoshop,indesign and all the other display very well ì & other characters.

It was (just) the method to fire messages to jit.lcd (& jit.gl.text2d) which wasn't good!

now, I'll ask another question in another thread about jit.lcd vs jit.gl.text2d differencies around:

Ok I found the trick.

I had some from/to symbols mismatch!

now, I'll ask another question in another thread about jit.lcd vs jit.gl.text2d differencies around:
- quality
- cpu consumption

the best way for subtitles on a video?
