To preview a subtitle

1

Select the video, audio, and subtitle streams you want to preview, using the button at
the far left of each stream.

Click to select one video,
audio, and subtitle
stream to preview.

See

Setting Stream Properties

for more information on stream settings.

2

Play the track by clicking the Play button in the Viewer tab.

The track plays from the playhead’s current position. Because the playhead automatically
jumps to each subtitle clip as you edit them, you need to move it back to the track’s
beginning if you want to begin playing from there. Alternatively, you can move the
playhead to any position on the timeline to start playback at that point.

See

Playhead

for information on using the playhead. See

Viewing a Track

for more

information on playing tracks.

Simulating Subtitles

DVD Studio Pro provides two ways to start the Simulator: at the First Play connection
using Simulator in the toolbar, and at the current track using a shortcut menu in the
Outline and Graphical tabs.

Because you may have not yet configured your project so that you can easily navigate
to this track from the First Play setting, it is often more convenient to start the Simulator
playing at the current track.

To start the Simulator at a specific track
Do one of the following:

µ

Select the track, then choose File > Simulate Track, or press Command-Option-0 (zero).

µ

Control-click the track in the Outline or Graphical tab, then choose Simulate Track from
the shortcut menu.

µ

Control-click a stream in the Track Editor, then choose Simulate from Track from the
shortcut menu.
