The first, "[Script Info]" contains some information about the subtitle file, such as | The first section, "[Script Info]" contains some information about the subtitle file, such as its title and author, the type of script and a very important field: "PlayResY". Be careful of this value, everything in your script (font size, positioning) is scaled by it. Sub Station Alpha uses your desktop's Y resolution to write this value, so if a friend with a large monitor and a high screen resolution gives you an edited script, you can mess everything up by saving the script in SSA with your low-cost monitor. | ||
The second, "[V4 Styles]", is a list of style definitions. A style | The second section, "[V4 Styles]", is a list of style definitions. A style describes how text will look on the screen. It defines the font, font size, primary/.../outile colour, position, alignment etc. | ||
For example | For example: | ||

The third, "[Events]", is the list of text you want to display at the right | The third section, "[Events]", is the list of text you want to display at the right time. You can specify some attributes here, like the style to use for each event (must be defined in the style list), the position of the text (Left, Right, Vertical Margin), and an effect. Name is mostly used by translator to know who said each sentence. Times are given as h:mm:ss.cc (centiseconds). | ||

A "[Fonts]" section can be found in some SSA files. It contains uuencoded fonts. Most software supports it (including VSFilter and libass), but alternative distribution methods such as MKV attachments are safer. | |||
The format also supports a "[Graphics]" section with uuencoded files and Picture, Sound, Movie and Command event lines in the "[Events]" section, but these features are only supported by Sub Station Alpha itself, and no standalone renderer (VSFilter, libass, Avery Lee's Subtiler filter) supports them. | |||
