Appendix D Subtitle script files

For example:
4 00:12:05:01 00:12:05:19 First text line|next text line
is the same as:
4 00:12:05:01 00:12:05:19 First text line
next text line
If you want a “|” to be displayed instead of being interpreted as a carriage return, place a
backslash in front, like this:
\|
Font commands
Using the font commands, you can set the typeface and some formatting for the entire script
and for individual subtitles. If you import a script that does not contain font commands into
DVDit Pro HD, the imported subtitles use the Text settings that you last specified in DVDit
Pro HD’s Edit Subtitles window.
Each font command must be inserted on its own line before the subtitle strings to which it
applies. The following font commands are supported:
•
$FontName = [name of a font face]
sets the typeface.
•
$FontSize = [number]
sets the text size in points.
•
$Bold = TRUE/FALSE
turns bold on or off.
•
$Italic = TRUE/FALSE
turns italic on or off.
•
$Underlined = TRUE/FALSE
turns underlining on or off.
For example:
$FontName = Arial
$FontSize = 16
$Bold = FALSE
$Italic = FALSE
$Underlined = FALSE
1 00:02:17:12 00:02:23:21 This text is 16-pt Arial
$Bold = TRUE
2 00:02:27:02 00:02:35:18 And this is 16-pt Arial, Bold
$Bold = FALSE
$FontSize = 20
3 00:03:12:14 00:03:22:10 Back to plain Arial, but 20-pt
