Hi, I was using your plugin for a vr sequence, therefore I tried to get the subtitle text in front of the vr camera using a widget component. I saw there is a get subtitle text node in the movie scene seq subtitle section, but I dont’ manage to actually get the text from the sequencer using that node. Is there a way to do this? The get subtitle text node needs a target and I don’t know how I can target the subtitles track… Thank you for the amazing plugin already!

Hi, thanks for your kind words and sorry for the late reply!

I don’t have a VR setup on my end, so apologies if I’m not fully grasping your situation — but if I understand correctly, you’re looking for a way to access the subtitle text via Blueprint so you can display it on a widget in front of the VR camera, right?

Currently, the subtitle system is designed to work within the Sequencer only, so there isn’t a Blueprint-accessible way to retrieve the subtitle text at runtime yet. That said, Blueprint support is something I’m planning to implement in a future update.

I’ll keep you posted when it’s available. Thanks for the feedback — it’s really helpful to know what features users need!
