Importing a Graphics File

There are two approaches you can take to import a graphics file into a subtitle stream:

• Add a subtitle to a stream and import the graphic through the Subtitle Inspector.

• Drag a suitable graphics file directly to a subtitle stream.

In both cases, the graphic uses the normal color settings in the Colors tab in the Subtitle
Inspector.

To import a subtitle graphic using the Subtitle Inspector

1

Create a subtitle or select a previously created text subtitle. See

Creating a Subtitle Clip

.

2

Click Choose in the General tab in the Subtitle Inspector.

3

In the dialog that appears, select the graphics file to use, then click Open.

The graphic appears in the Viewer tab, using the current settings in the Colors tab.

To import a subtitle graphic by dragging

1

Locate the graphics file in the Assets tab, the Palette, or a Finder window.

2

Drag the graphics file to the subtitle stream at the approximate position where it should
start.

A new subtitle is created with the duration and color mapping set in the Colors pane in
DVD Studio Pro Preferences.
