It’s all Chinese to me…
I’ve just completed a marketing video for the Confucius Institute. I also have to deliver a version with Chinese subtitles, which I created using the Title generator in APP-CC. I’m Mac-based, still OS 10.8.5.
Ten percent of the Chinese characters aren’t being “read” by my software. Instead of a Chinese letter, I’ll see a rectangle where the letter should be.
The translation was created by “song-style” Chinese software. Idealistically I thought I could simply cut & paste the paragraphs.
I’m in way-over-my-head here. Help…

You need to use a font that is compatible with Chinese characters: not all of them are. This is why you are getting a square symbol in lieu and place of the correct Chinese character.
Do you know Chinese? if not I would make sure you have a Chinese speaker/reader who can review your subtitles.
Good luck!
