Subtitles

CyberLink PowerDirector lets you add subtitles to your video production, either 
for a disc or imprinted on a video file. You can import subtitles from a text file or 
add them manually within the Subtitle Room.

To add a subtitle to your video production, click on 

 in the Subtitle Room and 

then select one of the following types of subtitles:

•

Create subtitles for a DVD/BDMV/AVCHD

: selecting this option creates 

subtitles that are compatible with most DVD/BDMV/AVCHD playback software 
and can be switched on/off like those found on commercial discs. 

Note: 

when you select 

Create subtitles for a DVD/BDMV/AVCHD

, there is a Subtitles 

option by default in your created disc menu when created within CyberLink 
PowerDirector. Text formatting for disc subtitles is more limited.

•

Create subtitles imprinted on a video file

: select this option to blend 

subtitles into the video.

button to add a subtitle entry for each. When you click the stop button, the 
subtitle entries are loaded into the subtitle window.
