Creating the Buttons for Button over Video Subtitles
Once you have imported the overlay graphic or entered the button text, you can create
the buttons. To create the buttons, you create active area rectangles by dragging over
each button’s area. See
Adding Overlay-Based Buttons
for details on this process.
The number of buttons you can have depends on the track’s aspect ratio setting, set with
the Display Mode pop-up menu in the General tab in the Track Inspector.
See
Choosing an Aspect Ratio
for more information on these modes. Also see
What
Happens with Different Aspect Ratios?
for issues that occur when creating buttons over
video on a 16:9 track.
