Any tutorials on doing Subtitles in CS3

Been asked by a client to add subtitles to a PAL DVD in Encore CS3. Specifically they want the subtitles to be turned on/off via the menu screen. Are there any good tutorials around for how to do this?

Thx

Any tutorials on doing Subtitles in CS3

I don't know of any tutorials, but you'll of course have to build the DVD project in Encore (you can't add subtitles after the DVD has been built). You might want to try a web search.

On DVDs, subtitles are globally either on or off. When linking buttons, you can use the Specify Link dialog to set this up.

Between Encore's Help and this reply, perhaps this is enough information to get you started?

There are also some good articles and replies in this sub-forum, that list Subtitle applications, make suggestions for proper Timecode, etc., and give detail on things to do and not to do. Unfortunately, they are not organized like a FAQ, but still a wealth of detail and good info in those.

Good luck,

I have started to create the subtitles within Encore CS3 for my PAL version of the film but I also need a NTSC version and as Encore CS3 does not allow you to change the project type making you create a new project in NTSC and then reimporting all the assets this leaves me with a big problem. As far as I can see there is no way to export the subtitle track to a file to re-import into a different project.

Any ideas how to handle this issue?

Thx

NTSC and PAL are two different video systems with different frame sizes and frame rates - there have been multiple discussions in this forum on the best way of doing that.

Encore CS4 can export subtitles as well as import them.
