Fixing Cropped Captions in QuickTime

Sometimes depending on the font used when captions are added to QuickTime, the g j y q letters will appear to be cropped. When QuickTime renders the .qt.txt file it is supposed to automatically calculate and display the block with the correct height. Sometimes however, it doesn't quite get it right:

The easiest thing to do is modify your existing .qt.txt result file in TextEdit or NotePad and on the second line add in a height parameter with the number of pixels high you want the caption block:

{textColor:65280,65280,65280}{width:320}{justify:center}

like so.

{textColor:65280,65280,65280}{width:320}{height:50}{justify:center}

You can use this height parameter to loosen or tighten your height as desired…
