Entering Subtitles in Multiple Languages

One of the great things about subtitles is that you can have a completely different stream
for each language. In the Viewer tab, you can type the subtitles on that stream in any
language that your system is configured to handle.

When you build the project, the text subtitles are converted to bitmap images. The system
on which you build the project (if it is different from the one used to enter the subtitles)
must have the proper fonts installed to create the bitmaps. However, once the project is
built, the fonts are not required to view the title using DVD players.

You can copy each subtitle clip to a new stream, preserving any attributes, such as fading,
fonts, and duration, you have already set.

To copy a subtitle clip from one stream to another stream
Do one of the following:

µ

Option-drag the existing subtitle clip to the new stream. You can place the clip freely
within the stream.

µ

Shift-Option-drag the existing subtitle clip to the new stream. The subtitle clip is forced
to the same timeline position as the original.
