Overview of main features
To give you a brief overview of subtitle creator features, consider the following list :
· Convert SubRib (*.srt) or MicroDVD (*.sub) files to IfoEdit (*.sup) files
· Load (thanks to the SubRip sources) the corresponding IFO file to determine whether we
are dealing with a PAL or NTSC movie, and to read the color palette which is used by
the original subtitles: by default, a white text, a black outline and a silver anti-alias color
on a transparent gray background are selected.
· Uses the line breaks you defined in the *.srt source, such that dialogs stay on different
lines. However, the maximum number is defined by you, and if it doesn’t fit the window,
the subtitles are joined and, if necessary, shrunken. If selected in the Settings menu
(default is true), the subtitles which are too long will be highlighted in light blue. You
can also warn when the subtitle’s duration is too short (default is off).
· You can use <i>italics</i>, <b>bold</b>, or <u>underlined</u> subtitles, <L>, <l> and
<s> for LARGE, large, and small text, and specify a subtitle’s exact position (SubRip
format)
· Preview and position your subtitles (using a screenshot as background or the original
DVD). Starting with version 2.0.0 you can even preview you DVD with the subtitles
being overlaid on top of it as if it was the final DVD.
· Deselect subtitles that you don’t want
· Automatically deselects credit lines (with @, or http)
· Choose the font that you like to use
· Use profiles for default font and subtitle window position settings
· You can join several subtitle files, e.g. if the original subtitle consisted of two parts
· Synchronize the subtitles using time shifting; frame rate conversion; or, my preferred
option, using the original subtitle *.sup: you can select matching subtitles in the new and
original subtitle and match them. Save the synchronized subtitle file
· Stretch subtitles in horizontal and vertical direction
· Specify how many lines you wish to use for the subtitle
· Specify whether you want SC to automatically wrap lines
· Specify whether you want SC to generate bitmaps of the subtitles for you
· Specify whether you want SC to remove double spaces and other types of annoyances
· When opening a MicroDVD’s SUB file, special formatting commands are automatically
recognized, like {Y:i}, {Y:b} and {Y:bi}
· You can define your own shortcuts in the configuration file, e.g. <s M> gives you the
music symbol
· You can search for a subtitle string.
· SUP manipulation tool, which allows you to remap the colors of a binary subtitle SUP
file, or to shift it vertically
· SUP to SRT translation tool, providing you with a simple editor to translate your DVD
from scratch.
· Most Recently Used File list, and the option to automatically open the last used file
· DVD Authoring Wizard which, together with two other great freeware tools, PgcDemux,
MuxMan and VobBlanker can simplify the process of adding a subtitle to a new movie).
