played in the area Subtitle elements. When you select one of the sub-
title elements, its appearance will be shown in the areas Appearance
settings and Position settings.
The Area ’Subtitle tracks’
A new subtitle track can be added as already described in section “Add-
ing Further Subtitles (via Subtitle Tracks)” on page 2-12 and it can be
deleted with the button Delete track. Additionally, this area provides a
context menu that can also be used to edit the subtitle tracks.
The concept of subtitles and subtitle tracks in the timeline of the Edit
Tool is to have different subtitle types of a single language in a project.
Thus, when using more than one subtitle timeline element in the time-
line (e.g. for different reels), each will provide the same number of
tracks. Moreover, they will be set to the same track type(s) and lan-
guage(s) and will affect each other if a track is altered for one subtitle
timeline element.
The Area ’Track subtitles’
The area Track subtitles lists the in- and outpoints of the subtitles.
Any subtitles whose in- or outpoint are not available in the timeline will
be marked in orange. When a subtitle is selected with the mouse, the
timeline cursor will automatically be positioned on the subtitle.
A subtitle can be deleted or a new one can be created with the buttons
DELETE SUBTITLE and NEW SUBTITLE at the bottom right of this area.
Furthermore, most values of a subtitle shown in the table can be
changed after double-clicking a field.
The context menu of this area can also be used to edit the subtitles. It
provides even further editing possibilities besides the ones already men-
tioned:
For subtitles in different languages you should exchange the
subtitles and create supplemental DCPs for each language (see
section “Modifying a DCP (Supplemental DCP)” on page 4-7).
