CyberLink PowerDirector lets you add subtitles to your video production, either for
a disc or imprinted on a video file. You can also import subtitles from a text file or
add them manually in the Subtitle Room.
To add a subtitle to your video production, click on in the Subtitle Room and
then to select one of the following types of subtitles:
Create subtitles for discs*: select this option to create 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 discs, there is a Subtitles option by
default in your created disc menu in the Create Disc window. Text formatting for
disc subtitles is more limited. * Optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector.
Check the version table on our web site for detailed versioning information.
Create subtitles imprinted on a video file: select this option to blend subtitles
into the video.
