Creating a Subtitle Script File
To determine which subtitle settings to use for a particular sequence of subtitle images,
Scenarist looks at a subtitle script file (.sst). You can create the script in any text editor. A
typical subtitle script file is shown in Figure 1.
Below are the definitions for the script file settings:
st_format The Identifying number of the subtitle data stream. Scenarist supports subtitle
format 2 only, which allows you to adjust a subtitle’s location in time to action in the video.
SubTitle Name of the subtitle data folder as it appears in Data Editor.
Display_Start When set to Forced, the subtitles are always On. When set to Non_Forced,
subtitles can switched on and off by the viewer with the remote control.
