You can do this by choosing Timeline → Add Subtitle Track (or use the right-click context menu) to add a new track below the horizontal splitter bar.Ĭhoose the target track. In addition, make sure that the correct timeline is showing by clicking the desired timeline tab.Ĭreate a subtitle track if there isn’t one already. This can open up interesting possibilities for mixing overlay planes, well beyond plain text annotations on top of video. In addition, they do not have to appear at the bottom of the frame: they can be positioned anywhere in (and even completely covering) the entire frame.

On the plus side, subpictures are stored as graphics, not text, which means that subtitles do not have to contain only text they can also be graphics, or a combination of both text and graphics. An example of how a subpicture overlay works is shown in Figure 4-20. Unfortunately, subpictures provide a very limited selection of colors: four colors (actually three colors because one is used to mark areas that are transparent), plus the opacity blending percentage. With this method, Encore stores a graphics overlay plane that can be optionally displayed on top of, or even blended with, the background video. The DVD specification actually supports both subtitle and menu button highlights using the same subpicture overlay mechanism. Each of the 32 subtitle tracks can contain different overlays, synched to the video playback so that they appear at a specified timecode and are displayed for a specific amount of time. In addition to the video track and audio tracks in each timeline, the DVD specification also provides for up to 32 subtitle tracks, each containing text or graphics overlays that can appear over the video as it is played.
