I see what you mean. Ross put his email address at the bottom of the screen and other things also appear there. Sadly, I don't know how to move the subtitles from the bottom of the screen with the software I have (Subtitle Workshop). It appears that these kinds of things are in the video so maybe Ross should move them away from the bottom when he's creating the videos to accommodate for the subs that will be added. Or if you know how to move the subtitles near the top of the screen for things like that, please let me know! I want to be as accommodating as I can.

The last 3D movie I've seen was Jurassic World. I saw it in IMAX 3D. My takeaway for the 3D in that was: Meh. I don't know if it was the movie (which was a decent monster flick) or what, but it'll probably be the last 3D movie I will ever watch. The biggest problem with 3D movies, for me, is that it causes my eyes to hurt after a while. I think the biggest problem with it is that filmmakers show a close up shot and suddenly cut to a wide shot, then back to a close up for the reaction. For example, you've got someone talking and you've got a waist-up shot of the person. Then something happens off screen and the camera cuts to that thing, say a dinosaur, then cuts back to the person reacting to what they're seeing. In 2D movies, this is fine and expected. In 3D, it does something to my brain. The sudden change in perspective over a single frame forces me to refocus quickly on what's happening and doing that every 3-5 seconds over the course of a 2 hour+ long movie wears me out and makes my eyes hurt and gives me a headache. It's not the filmmakers' fault either; they have to do that to tell the story. Fading from one shot to the next doesn't help either. While it gives more time to refocus, there's a certain point in the fade-through that I can't focus on either shot. For me, 3D movies just aren't worth the increased cost for the very little "Oh, that looks cool--and it's gone" benefit it provides. I will probably never watch another 3D movie because of this. 3D gaming is another matter because it's intended to be shown from a first-person perspective (even in 3rd-person mode) and there's not as many jump cuts (as long as you don't count cinematics, then the problem is the same as 3D movies). That's why I adore Half-Life 2 in 3D. There's no camera cuts. It's all one long fluid first-person shot from the train at the beginning to the destruction of the Citadel at the end. If only we could get rid of that damned loading screen, but that's another can of worms...

I'd wait on the Oculus Rift, to be honest. Right now, the resolution on the DK2 is still a bit too low, creating a screen door effect you can see if you have 20/20 vision. It's not bad and you get used to it after a while, but it would be better with higher resolutions for each eye. Also, since it's a developer kit, there's a lot of weirdness, tweaking, and screaming you need to do to even get it to work. When it does work, however, it's spectacular!

Glad I could help! If there's any input you want to give on how to make the subs better, I'm open. I want to make Ross's videos as accessible as I can within the bounds of my abilities. If you want me to change anything with regards to how the subtitles appear, let me know! Thanks for the post!

Ah! That makes more sense! Thanks!

Thanks! Published ... I had to fix a line where Ross says he's impatient... Ross is one of the most patient people in the world and he said he's patient Oops, okay. Thanks for the fix! I guess "patient" didn't make sense to me because he was saying how he didn't go to the theaters because it's "kind of pricey" and if someone is impatient, they don't want to spend the time watching a movie. But I'm okay with "patient" as well.
