Styling subtitles with the Subcap effect

Ever need to re-use a subtitles style for a recurring broadcast spec/programme series?

Ever need to re-use a subtitles style for a recurring broadcast spec/programme series? Build and save a stylesheet like this:
Go to Global Properties> Stylesheets tab to create a stylesheet. Give your stylesheet a name so you can easily identify it then create the ‘look’ you want.
You can then recall it anytime by going back to Global Properties> Stylesheets and clicking ‘apply’.
To share yours or bring in another style sheet navigate to [system]\Users\Public\Documents\AVX Plug-Ins Data\Caption Effect Stylesheets. You’ll find stylesheets in the form of XML files, you can then copy to it to another MC system or place someone else’s in that folder. It will appear under the Global Properties> Stylesheets tab within the Subcap effect.
