hello need to put some subtitle in a little interview. what is the best way to do that?

The Subcap effect is what you want. The Media Composer help explains how to use it in detail.

Hi, have a a look at this thread.

http://community.avid.com/forums/t/137916.aspx

It's from the MC Mac forum but it still applies to PC use and
might give some additional info that the help file doesn't.

And a tutorial:

...and you can find more tutorials on YouTube.

Cheers.

i have given a look and try to use..2 main questions

is there a way to give an exact position to the text, for example, centre..looks like i should set it manually

is there a way to make the lines of text longer.default is quite short

The anchor position determines where the subtitle appears. The default, for some stupid reason, is the upper left corner of the screen, so you'll have to change it manually.

Box width is the parameter that determines how much text of a particular font size will fit on a line.
