Subtitles

CyberLink PowerDirector lets you add subtitles to your video production, either

for a disc or imprinted on a video file. You can also import subtitles from a text file

or add them manually in the Subtitle Room.

To add a subtitle to your video production, click on in the Subtitle Room and

then select one of the following types of subtitles:

• Create subtitles for discs: select this option to create subtitles that are

compatible with most DVD/BDMV/AVCHD playback software and can be

switched on/off like those found on commercial discs.

Note: when you select Create subtitles for discs, there is a Subtitles option by default

in your created disc menu in the Create Disc module. Text formatting for disc subtitles

is more limited.

•

Create subtitles imprinted on a video file: select this option to blend

subtitles into the video.

Adding Subtitles

To add a subtitle to your video production, you can:

• use the playback controls to locate the beginning point of each piece of

dialogue that corresponds with the subtitle, and then continually click the

button to add a subtitle entry for each. When you click the stop button,

the subtitle entries are loaded into the subtitle window.

• click the button to add a single subtitle entry.

Editing Subtitles

To edit a subtitle in your video production, you can:

• double-click on the subtitle marker in the timeline or in the Subtitle list view,

and then enter the text as required.

• click the button to format the subtitle text as required.

• to remove a subtitle, select the subtitle marker and then click the button.
