ENCORE CS3 137 User Guide • To add subtitles to an existing track, click the Track Selector (to the left of the subtitle track name) of the desired subtitle track. 3 Choose Window > Monitor to open the Monitor panel, and click the Show Safe Area button to display the safe area guides. 4 In the timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the first frame in which you want to add a subtitle. 5 Click either the Horizontal or Vertical Text tool. The pointer changes to an I-beam within a dotted box. The small horizontal line near the bottom of the I-beam marks the position of the baseline, the line on which the type rests. 6 In the Monitor panel, do one of the following: • Drag the I-beam pointer to define the bounding box for the subtitle. • Position the baseline of the I-beam pointer where you want the subtitle to begin, and click to set the entry point for the type. The insertion point appears. • Click the Add Subtitle button at the bottom of the Monitor panel, which opens an empty text box with blue corner handles. 7 In the Character panel, select the type attributes and alignment options you want for this subtitle. (See "Character panel overview" on page 79.) You don't set the color for the subtitle text here, however. That is determined by the Highlight Group you specify in the Properties panel, which is based on a timeline color set. For information, see "Set subtitle properties" on page 137. 8 In the Monitor panel, click in the text box and type the desired text. To reposition the subtitle text, hold down the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS) to temporarily activate the Move tool, and drag the text as needed. When you release the Ctrl or Command key, the text tool becomes active again. 9 Click the Selection tool to exit text editing mode and select the subtitle clip in the timeline and the Monitor panel. 10 To change subtitle properties of the selected clip, set options in the Properties panel. (See "Set subtitle properties" on page 137.) 11 Move the current-time indicator to the next frame to which you want to add a subtitle, and continue adding subtitles. When you click the Add Subtitle button in the Monitor panel, the new subtitle matches the same character and paragraph attributes as the previous subtitle on the track. You can place only one text box per clip. You cannot place subtitles in separate areas of the frame unless the text is all within the same bounding box. See also "Set buttons to select audio or subtitle tracks" on page 150 "Preview timelines" on page 119 Set subtitle properties 1 In the timeline, select a subtitle clip. Note: To preview changes as you make them, make sure the current-time indicator is located over the selected subtitle clip in the timeline and the subtitle track is selected.
