Subtitle in shorts video

Hello I have a question about subtitle in shorts-youtube video.

The first 3 shorts I made looks like this:


But the last one (which I created on another laptop) have the subtitle on the bottom. How do I make the subtitle appear inside the video and not under it?


I dont understand what caused the difference.

Br,
Emma

@Emma-Eriksson Hi, that's not an easy one to answer as you're using 16:9 landscape media on a 9:16 portrait project. A whole picture of the Vegas UI would be needed + images of the project & render options used,

One possibility is the generated media size.. but this is normally auto adjusted to match the project & the text can be resized & placed anywhere you want.

If this is done to the size of the text at the top of the text properties window the text does stay within the video area..

This wouldn't be normal so an understanding of 16:9 vs 9:16 & what you had done prior to this is needed.

Maybe you added the media & text then changed the project size from 16:9 to 9:16, doing that the generated media would import as 16:9 & stay like that after the project properties were changed to 9:16 ..
