The default position of subtitles tends to hide important details like the mode line or minibuffer. If you use `mpv` to view videos, you can adjust the position of subtitles with the "r" and "R" keyboard shortcuts, which run `add sub-pos -1` and `add sub-pos +1` respectively.
Alternatively, you can configure your MPV to resize videos and show
subtitles underneath. On Linux, you can create or edit
`~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf`. On Windows, if compiled with MinGW, MPV will
look for your configuration in `%APPDATA%\mpv\mpv.conf`. You can
override the directory that contains mpv.conf by setting the
`MPV_HOME` environment variable on either system.
<https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#configuration-files> has more details
on the format and location of the config file.
For regular use, you might prefer to watch horizontally-centered
videos with centered subtitles underneath. Here's the `mpv.conf` for
that.
```
# Positioning
video-zoom=-0.15
video-align-x=1
video-align-y=-1
sub-use-margins=yes
sub-scale-by-window=yes
sub-pos=103
sub-margin-x=110
sub-margin-y=60
sub-align-x=left
# Style
sub-color="1/0.82/0"
sub-blur=0.2
sub-scale=0.9
sub-font-size=30
sub-border-size=0
sub-border-color=0/1
sub-shadow-color=0/1
sub-shadow-offset=1.2
sub-ass-force-style=Kerning=yes
sub-ass-line-spacing=0
```
When we broadcast videos for EmacsConf 2022, we place them on the top
right so that there's room underneath to display a conference logo and
a talk URL, and we align the text left so that it doesn't feel like
it's shifting around a lot. If you want to do the same, here's the
configuration:
```
# Positioning
video-zoom=-0.15
video-align-x=1
video-align-y=-1
sub-use-margins=yes
sub-scale-by-window=yes
sub-pos=103
sub-margin-x=110
sub-margin-y=60
sub-align-x=left
# Style
sub-color="1/0.82/0"
sub-blur=0.2
sub-scale=0.9
sub-font-size=30
sub-border-size=0
sub-border-color=0/1
sub-shadow-color=0/1
sub-shadow-offset=1.2
sub-ass-force-style=Kerning=yes
sub-ass-line-spacing=0
```
If you would like to specify the font to use, you can include a line like:
```
sub-font="Clear Sans Bold"
```
