Adding Subtitles

Scroll Prev Top Next More

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 file, extract them from an MKV file, or add them manually in the Subtitle Room.

To add subtitles to your video production, click at the bottom of the rooms panel and then select Subtitle Room to open the Subtitle Room and then to select one of the following types of subtitles:

Create subtitles for discs/files*: select this option to create subtitles that are compatible with most DVD/BDMV/AVCHD/MKV playback software and can be switched on/off like those found on commercial discs.

Note: when you select Create subtitles for discs/files, 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.

Note: if you are creating subtitles for an MKV file, make sure you select the Create subtitles for disc/files option, not the option where the subtitles are imprinted on the video file.
