Subtitle Preferences
DVD Studio Pro contains a set of preferences that control many aspects of how subtitles
appear on a stream, whether manually created or imported (unless specifically overridden).
It is recommended that you take some time and configure these preferences before you
start working in the subtitle streams.
The preferences cover the following areas:
• Fade and length: The General pane in DVD Studio Pro Preferences contains the default
settings for the fade in and out settings as well as the subtitle length. The fade settings
apply to all subtitles except those configured to provide buttons over video. The length
setting applies only to new subtitles you create in DVD Studio Pro.
• Font and position: The Text pane in DVD Studio Pro Preferences contains the default
settings for the font used with text subtitles and the position settings for both text and
graphic-based subtitles. Depending on the type of subtitle file you are importing, these
settings may be overridden during the file import.
• Color mapping: The Colors pane in DVD Studio Pro Preferences contains default settings
for the color mapping used when importing subtitle files and creating subtitles in
DVD Studio Pro. Depending on the type of subtitle file you are importing, these settings
may be overridden during the file import.
