Directly above these icons, there are three drop-down menus which can be used to perform the
same tasks, but more precisely.
Caption Display Modes
The desired mode for post production captioning is Pop-on. We will discuss Pop-on first. At the
end of the chapter you will find how to format for Roll-up mode which is much simpler than
Pop-on mode. After selecting a caption or a number of captions, you may change the caption
display mode to any one of the three display modes by clicking on the Display Mode area.

Opening the video file
Go to File menu and select Open movie.
(You may also drag the video file Demo_DV_720x480_CC.mov to the video area on the left
side)
Select video file Demo_DV_720x480_CC.mov.
Proper QT Movies: QT DV video must be 29.97 fps and audio must be either 32KHz for 4
12-bit audio channels or 48KHz for 2 16 bit audio channels. There are no exceptions to
these rates. The video must be compressed with DV codec. If the video and audio rates
are incorrect, you can fix it using QuickTime Pro by re-exporting the file with proper
video/audio rates.
Note: You can also control the video with the left and right arrow buttons below the video
and also the standard J, K and L keys.
