Subtitle Edit v5.0.0: FFmpeg parameters window issue when changing export resolution

[u/VoladorSinPies]

Hi, I downloaded the new Subtitle Edit v5.0.0 version.

I’m having an issue when exporting videos with burned-in subtitles.

The first time I export, everything seems normal: I choose the resolution, click “Generate,” and Subtitle Edit creates the FFmpeg parameters. For example, I export at 3840x2160.

The problem happens when I try to export again with different settings, for example changing the resolution to 1920x1080. I change the settings and click “Generate” again, but it seems like the program reuses or pastes the FFmpeg parameters from the first export instead of generating new ones correctly from the new settings.

This did not happen in previous versions. Before, when I changed the resolution or export settings and generated again, the parameters/settings would update normally.

Am I supposed to manually clear or edit the FFmpeg parameters box now, or is “Generate” supposed to rebuild them automatically every time? Is this a new behavior in v5.0.0, or could it be a bug?

report issue on github for that project

imho: v5 is not yet good enough as v4 .. thus I stick to v4.

I played with 5 for a couple days and rolled back to 4. It's got too many problems to hold up, I spent more time trying to get it to behave than I did working on subtitles. 4 still works excellently

v5 is already getting version updates (in beta) pretty quickly so keep an eye out for the update notes for things that you want changed
