  DVD-Architect: why’s Subtitles not possible for – apparently – only my program?

  Posted by Troels Tonder on January 4, 2012 at 12:31 pm

  I’ve got a strange problem. Lately I’ve been working a lot in both Vegas 11 & DVD-Architect 5.0.
  I’ve created quite nice DVD’s from my travel-videos and everything’s been working perfectly.

  Then I got the idea, that I’d like to subtitle some scenes, but I think just “stamping” them as text on my sourcefiles in Vegas, would be both too cumbersome and too much of a bungle, to be honest.

  Then I learn from threads around the web, that it’s possible to generate and/or import subtitle tracks directly in DVD-Architect.

  Great. I find both walkthroughs and extensive illustrations of the way to go about this.
  Only problem is: None of the menus exists in my program and none of the keyboard shortcuts work (e.g. ctrl-shift-t should add a track)

  Even the official manual for DVD-Arch covers subtitling, but it seems to me like it was written for another program entirely…

  I am using DVD-A v. 5.0 Build 157. I’ve read that others do it with versions as far back as 2.0.

  I hope somebody can figure this out!
  Thanks

  Confirm that:

  1. You are using DVDA Pro, not DVDA Studio. As far as I can recall, Studio does not do subtitles.

  2. If using Pro, you are looking at the timeline for a video within your project and not the timeline for a menu. Menus can not have subtitles, so the function will not be available if that is what you’re editing.
