i add sub-titles to my movies using the right lower third the changing size, colour and outline. during the rendering process some, not all of the subtitles revert to the default. It is a massive pain. Am I doing something wrong in my workflow or is it a bug The correct closed caption process creates unnecessarily large file sizes

Switch off background rendering in Playback preferences. Wondering if a combination of emojis and styles is the problem. Can you post a screenshot of the text settings font, size, color, outline, shadow, those things?

Closed captions aren't subtitles. Do you mean that when you use Right, you can change the parameters, but when you export some of the titles lose the changes and revert to the default, while others don't?
Yes, ignore what I said about closed captions. The issue is I use 'Right'; lower third to create caption changing size colour and outline and position from the standard but during rendering some (not all) of these revert to the standard losing my changes. i then have to redo these before exporting the movie to Compressor. I hope this clarifies the issue. Thanks for your help
Did you read what I said about deleting Generated files not rendering before sending to Compressor?
Are you changing each title manually, or are you duplicating the title, or are you using a saved title setting? I assume there are a lot of titles. Trying to see where the problem is when reproducing what you’re doing.
Yes, I will try stopping background rendering and delete generated files. I am not copying titles and am manually generating them. I am doing each title manually. The videos are only one minute long but can have 30 titles in each and a lot of enojii type icons.
Which is the exact name of the lower 3rd title?
If you use Closed Captions your file size never will be unnecessarily large - FCP does store those CCs outside the file.
No I lose the titles somewhere as it renders before I export to Compressor not all just domd
Delete the generated files for the project from the File menu. Switch off background rendering. Do not render before exporting. I don’t understand the second sentence.
By switching off background rendering it worked perfectly. The other thing I learned was never when adding a new bottom third to overlap the title bars even a little bit. Thank you.
