I know this may be an off the wall question, but when you do a film in 16:9 and watch it on a TV it gives you black bands (letterbox) on the TV. Is their a way to utilize the bottom black band for subtitling? I guess I am asking if there is a way to subtitle below a film shot in 16:9 so the words come out on the black band at the bottom of the screen.
Before I used to shoot 4:3 and then use a widescreen effect so I could easily add clear subtitles.
Any suggestions about subtitling in a 16:9 format would be appreciated.
