So I am working on subtitles for my latest run and I was wondering what are the best X,Y coordinates for them to appear on the bottom of the screen? I never added subtitles to my run before so I need some help. I know how to add them to the movie, but I'm not sure how to position them.

It will depend on the console's screen resolution and the game's HUD, as you want them to be out of the way of the gameplay but not too far to where they will divert the viewer's attention or be hard to look at. I've used 0,420 (X,Y) for an N64 testrun and 0,480 for an SMS run. Those subs were only viewable in 2x window size or greater but they were well-positioned for the games they accompanied.
