Hi Ines,

If you are referring to viewing subtitles in an Amara player: there is no equivalent of the YT "Settings" function that lets you choose the size and color you wish to view the subtitles in.

And if you mean assigning the formatting characteristics you mention to subtitles you make with Amara: again, there are almost no formatting options, except italics and bold. In my understanding, this is because Amara is conceived for subtitling videos that are on the web, as stated in the video in the home page of Amara.org -- and few web video players would support complex subtitle formatting. But if you want a more authoritative answer from staff, please create a ticket (via http://support.amara.org/support/tickets/new).

Best,

Claude
