Add subtitles to level sequences

@Daniel - COO Hi! Rendering subtitles in UE has always been a headache and a chore. I wish Dash had a quick and easy solution. So far as I know, there are three approaches 1. Add a plane to the camera port as a subset, using materials This method is difficult to modify and complicated to operate. 2. Use UMG and add to track This method is cumbersome to use manually, there is a plugin that simplifies the process, but cannot directly play the preview in the level sequence when it needs to be run. 3. Using plugins (I've only found Trailer Maker so far This plugin can do this) Plugin developer is not active, can't add gradients, can't use Chinese fonts (or maybe I didn't find the right way) To sum up, I think in the process of film and television rendering, a function that can easily add subtitles is very needed. Many people have to use other software to synthesize subtitles at a later stage.

It's called UMG Cinematics, and it has no drawbacks other than the fact that it has to be used at runtime.
