[Cin] Subtitles view.

[Rafa Mar Multimedia en Gnu\Linux]

It is very common to put subtitles on the videos, there are several users
who have asked me about this subject in Cinelerra, I tell them to do it
with the title effect.
Cinelerra's assistant, when understood, turns out to be up to good, but the
fact that they are not seen on the composition monitor is confusing, and
the one that does not have an option to print these in the render, is also
a shame. Although the latter is very easy to do later with ffmpeg.
Things that I do not understand:
1. Why are they not displayed in the composer?
2. Why .udvd and not .srt or .ass? Although this point is also irrelevant
since it is very easy from .udvd to convert it into .srt or .ass with
ffmpeg.
DVDs are a thing of the past ... but subtitles are NOT, these are used a
lot today. I notice that most people want them printed in the video, it
would be great a script that would allow you to convert a subtitle track
into a track with the effect of titles and these will be seen in the
render. The .udvd file is a very good option too, to have the optional
subtitles, and even more so with how easy it is to convert .udvd to .srt or
.ass with ffmpeg.
Thank you so much. Regards.
