    As per encore Document –
    For Blu-ray projects that have video size larger than or equal to 1280×720, the gap between subtitle clips must be at
    least 2 frames.

    You will get the same error if the subtitle clips are placed without this gap.

    Well, if my hunch is correct, there may be too much text in one or more subtitles. Try simplifying them so there is only one line per subtitle, or as few lines as possible.

    Simplifying your subtitles may fix the error.

    I will try that Joe. Is there a limit for characters per line?

    There is a bit rate limitation on subtitle overlay tracks, and there is also a maximum number of bits per frame.

    I don’t recall the numbers, though…and it would be next to impossible to assign those limitations to the maximum number of characters, as it would be different for different fonts, font styles, point sizes, etc.

    So… can i find a good guide on how to create the subtitles (script or FAB Images) for BluRay with Encore CS4?

    That information should be available in the help. I don’t know how much detail it goes into regarding your error, though (probably none).

    There is no line limitation in subtitle.
    But the thing is that the gap between two subtitles should be atleast two frames.
    If you have 10 subtitles in a subtitle track, the gap between the subtiltes should be atleast two frames.

    There isn’t much help. It shows a sample of the script (that’s how i did mine), but there is NO details on how to create the PNG or TIFF images.
    Colors, size, etc.
    Anyway, i am disappointed from encore in this issue…
