Creating Subtitles With DVD Studio Pro
Before you create a subtitle, you must have first created and selected the track where
the subtitle will go. Since the contents of the track’s video and audio streams typically
determine the subtitle placement, you should not start adding subtitles until these
streams are set.
Creating and Positioning a New Subtitle in a Stream
To create a subtitle clip, you must decide which stream to add it to and where to place
it on that stream.
Creating a Subtitle Clip

streams labeled S1 to S32), and not in the V1 stream.

clip should appear.
