Subtitles automatically on?

Hi everyone, new here. I am authoring a dvd for a client and they would like me to make it so that the english subtitle track which i have created for the DVD is automaticaly enabled when one plays the DVD. Is there a way to do this? I can get the subtitles to pop up just fine using the usual activation modes via the remote and even asign them to buttons in the menu just fine. But I can't seem to find a way to get them to activate automaticaly on playing the project. I seem to recall their being ways to do this in earlier versions of Encore as well. I am using Encore 5.00 on A Macbook pro if that helps.
Thanks everyone!

Hi! Valsodar. I think you are looking for something like this ...  I hope this be usefull for you ...

  • Problem with subtitles automatically displaying when they shouldn't

    Hi all,
    I've got a DVD with multiple languages (English, Spanish, and French) and one subtitle stream (English) on the main program of a DVD I am authoring. I would like the DVD to default to the English audio stream and for the subtitles to be in the "off" state". The user can then select via a menu button if the subtitles are to be displayed or not.
    The problem is, on certain (multiple) DVD players, the client is telling me that the subtitles are automatically displaying, regardless of whether or not they have chosen to show them. Of course, none of my test players exhibit this behavior, so it is difficult for me to troubleshoot what the problem might be.
    I have tried setting it to default to a blank subtitle track and have also tried removing the English language designation on the subtitle track (which feel more like workarounds more than actual solutions), but the subtitles are still automatically displaying.
    Any guess as to what is going on? Is this a problem on the client end, or is there scripting I will need to add to ensure consistent results from player to player?

    I was able to solve the subtitle display problem with some simple scripting. For some reason certain DVD players (a fairly high percentage) are ignoring any Set System Stream commands from the DVD.

  • Embedded closed captions not viewable

    I have read most of the threads on embedded closed captions in this forum and after experiencing similar problems I have come to the conclusion that embedding captions in QT .mov files is not properly implemented. I could be wrong. I hope someone can show that is the case.
    Steps taken:
    1) created a closed caption track in a 2:40 minute Video as the top level video track (V4 in my case) using the CEA 608 CC1 caption stream. Captions show up in the program window properly enabled.
    2) Exported the entire clip directly from Premier Pro CC 2014  as a Quicktime .mov file with captions "embedded in Output file" (also tried exporting through Media Encoder--same results noted below).
    Closed captions DO NOT show up in the resulting .mov file when played in Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OSX 10.9.5, even with subtitles set to "automatic"
    Closed captions DO NOT show up in VLC Media Player 2.1.5 or 2.0.5.
    Closed captions DO NOT show up when the .mov file is imported into an iPad Air running IOS 10.1.1 and played in Safari. This is my target destination and is critical.
    Closed captions DO show up when the mov file is re-imported into Premier Pro and that clip is active in the preview window.
    Closed captions DO show up when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 7 when "Show closed captioning" is active in the "View" menu. Quicktime Player 7 reveals that a "Closed Captions" video track exists as track #3 in the mov file under "Movie Properties".
    I have uploaded the .mov file discussed above and made it available for public download if anyone can help me figure out how to get closed captioning to work. It is intended to be played on an iPad from a Self-Guided Tour app under development, which will play it using the native IOS video player when the file thumbnail is clicked. If the IOS Video Player is the same as QT Player 10.3 on a Mac, it defaults to "subtitles automatic". I don't know for certain,however.

    Thanks for the posting on the forums here. I downloaded your file and I looked at it in the following places:
    GENERAL PLAYBACK MAC
    10.8.5 (12F45)
    with QuickTime 10.3
    I could see the closed captioning in the player.
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    10.9 (13A603)
    with QuickTime 10.3 (727.1)
    I could see the closed captioning in the player -- had to set it under View-> Subtitles-> English CC
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    10.9 updated to 10.9.5 (13F34)
    with QuickTime 10.3 (727.4)
    Closed captions are not being displayed, under any setting (choice is Off or AUTO) -- appears to be an update problem.
    This is not just a failure of PPRO embedded closed caption MOVs, but also embedded MOVs from other closed caption authoring solutions like Telestream, and Annotation Edit.
    I can log a bug on my side, but the problem is not in PPRO -- I'd check with Apple on this.
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    VLC MEDIA PLAYER
    It appears from my quick testing with VLC Media Player --  VLC Media Player is not detecting embedded closed captions in files from PPRO, nor from other industry standard closed caption authoring solutions, like from Telesteam, they make MacCaption and Caption Maker. I also checked embedded files from Annotation Edit, another widely used caption authoring solution, and VLC Media Player does not detect embedded closed captioning in those files, either.
    I encourage you to look on the side of VLC Media Player for the failure to display closed captions.
    IPAD AIR PLAYBACK
    In my testing, I did not test this equipment configuration. If you think you have a problem, please consider logging a bug.
    Thanks again for posting here, I hope I answered your questions! If not, let me know, and I'll reply again.

  • Formatting (Italic) missing in contents - Urgent help needed!

    Hello!
    I am about to finish my thesis and was really happy how easy it was to create a content with pages.
    BUT I realised that the formatting of book-titles (in my case: words in Italic) were not transfered to the contents although they are Italic in the headlines of the text... It really frustrates me because you cannot mark the words in the contents and change them manually...
    I am writing my thesis in literature studies and it is essential to clarify book-titles in Italic.
    Would be great to get some help! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your quick response, Peter. But I think you misunderstood me. Guess my English is to bad to explain this uncommon inquiry. Unfortunately I am working with the German version of pages so the vocabulary is quite difficult for me to translate. I will try it again:
    I have titles and subtitles in my text. I assign the titles with "Styles" to create an index of contents - which worked perfectly. BUT I am using Italic (for some words) in the titles/subtitles of the text. When Pages transfers these titles/subtitles automatically into the index of contents the italic font disappears. But I want/need them there as well.
    Did I make myself clear now?!
    (I am using Times New Roman which has Italic - it is not a problem of the Font. It is the automatism of Pages for creating an index of content loosing the formatting of the Font.)

  • Subtitles activate themselves automatically in some DVD players...

    Hello All,
    I've created a DVD w/ two subtitle streams: Stream 1 = ENG, Stream 2 = ESP. I've been testing my DVD on different players and I've encountered one odd behavior. In two DVD players out of six total, when I play my movie it plays with ENG subtitles without the user ever activating them. So, Stream 1 seems to get fired up automatically with the launching of the movie.
    I know we can't account for every DVD player out there. But, any suggestions I may try to correct this?
    Thanks!

    Basically what you would need is a "blank" subtitle stream (if you want the option to not have any show at all.)
    This is usging stories for selections
    Stories English/Spanish
    Here is an example for setting audio preferences
    Audio and the same applies to subtitles.
    Here is an example which shows how to set angles for bass, drums, guitar project (including scripts) and a download
    Bass Drums etc.
    What you would do is point to one of three subtitle streams, a blank one that is the "off", the English and the Spanish. When you want the subtitles off, point to the off and set that as the default to catch the players that are turning one on.
    Make sense?

  • Subtitles in DVD-studio Pro to start automatically

    Hi, I have a minor problem with a commercial DVD I'm making. The DVD is in Swedish language, and I have made three menus for each language, Swedish, Norwegian and English. (the actual track, video and sound is the same in all three menus and all three menus "play" button are attached to the same track. I've also made a translation in english and attached a subtitle stream to the track)
    If I press the english flag from the first play menu I arrive at the english menu, here the customer wants the English subtitles to start automatically when you press "play concert". How do I do this? Do I use a script or a story? I tried to some things, but then the subtitles were visible from the Swedish menu and the Norwegian as well, and I don't want that.
    Regards, Mike

    There's a couple of ways to do this. The simplest is this.
    Create a script - call it something like Set Lang Swed
    In the script on the first line add a command 'set GPRM'
    Change the source type to 'immediate' and the value to '1' and target to an unused GPRM (like 0)
    Repeat steps 1-3 for the other languages replacing the immediate value to 2 & 3 respectively (still for the same target as before)
    Now create another Script and call it something like 'Menu Return'
    In that script add a Jump command to the first line.
    Set the 'Jump to' to the Swedish Menu
    Tick the Compare Command and execute if 'GPRM 0' (or whatever) is '=' to 'Immediate' with value '1'
    Add another line and set that to 'Jump to' the next Language Menu then do step 8 again with a value of '2'
    Repeat step 9
    Set the track End Jump to the 'Menu Return' script
    Set the Track>RemoteControl>Menu setting to the Menu Return script
    Something like that should get you going.

  • How can I display the date and time from the playhead info as a subtitle ?

    Is there any way it is possible to display the video capture data and time during playback. I have seen some discussion on creating subtitles to do this, it would be nice if one could simply add a Title template with display fields for playhead information so that it automatically gets created during rendering.
    In case you are wondering why on earth anyone would want this, I would like to use this for display on multisport racing videos.
    Thanks

    There is a Date/Time title in the titles browser, does just what it says...

  • Subtitles get enlarged in 16:9 sequence

    I have a PAL DV 4:3 project that I have been converting to 16:9. I created a new sequence and changed the setting to 16:9 anamorphic. The frame size is 720x576, aspect ratio CCIR 601/DV PAL (5:4), pixel aspect ratio CCIR 601 (720x576). I pasted all of the clips and scaled / stretched the clips accordingly. Everything is fine with the video.
    The problem that I have is when I create subtitles they get enlarged and lose resolution. They display at the correct size in the viewer (which for some reason is 4:3) but when dropped into the timeline they automatically get enlarged. There is no scaling under the motion tab so I don't understand what's happened. I could reduce the font size but the problem is the loss of resolution which is noticeable on the finished DVD. Any thoughts?

    They display at the correct size in the viewer (which for some reason is 4:3)
    That's not correct. They should be displaying at 16:9 in the viewer, if they are correctly made and the settings are correct.

  • Subtitle text position off when in full screen

    I'm adding captioning/subtitles to my video (FLVPlaybackCaptioning) using dfxp.xml files. Everything works great when the video plays at it's initial resolution (640 x 360). The positioning of the captions is perfect. But I've included a Full Screen button and when the video goes full screen, the captions appear but their position is off. They are higher on the screen and they actually move upward 1 or 2 lines after they initially appear. I cannot seem to control this and am not sure why it only happens in full screen mode. In the component inspector I have set autoLayout to true and to false and it does not effect the captions one way or another. I cannot seem to find any support for this. Any help greatly appreciated.

    I've worked around this by placing the captions in a Text area below the movie. It works fine. But when I go full screen the captions remain the same size since I have had to turn off AutoLayout to get them to display in the Text Area. Anyone know how I can resize the captions automatically when the user clicks Full Screen?

  • How to play .srt subtitle files in movies?

    On my iMac when I use VLC it automatically picks up the .srt file in the folder with the same name as the movie. Does AppleTV allow me to play an .srt file too? Thanks.

    No it won't do this.
    There is clearly a modicum of support for subtitles built in, but I think they have to be encoded in the actual movie file.
    Might be worth doing a search for subtitles in this forum.
    From memory very few Apple store items include subtitles.
    VLC is a non-Apple application, and AppleTV pretty much does things 'Apple's way'. In other words there are strict specs for video files (essentially low quality MPEG4, or better/good quality h264 files). These specs largely relate to the modern h264 codec which is more efficient than MPEG-2 used for DVDs,
    I don't think you have an AppleTV based on the question, and if you find VLC does the job thenn a more versatile option might be a Mac Mini if you already have lots of video with associated .srt files.
    Afraid I don't use subtitling myself, hopefully someone who does will be able to give some useful advice.
    May I suggest you Google an application called Handbrake which is a useful video file converter that can convert video files to AppleTV format. I believe it has some kind of support for embedding subtitles (though not from separate .srt files) but have never tried this personally.
    There are also many open source/3rd party apps that act as media centres such as XBMC for the XBOX (originally), plex and so forth - I don't know if they have decent subtitle or .srt support but it might be worth you having a look.

  • Easiest Way To Create Video Subtitle

    Does anyone know how to create VIDEO"S SUBTITLES.....
    I don't want closed caption...i want subtitle
    Using Premiere Pro's text to create subtitle...it will spend me for lots of hours doing that
    It's very wasting my time doing that....
    Does anyone have the way to do it???
    I tried using Indesign to create text and export to premiere...but that are too much work to do....
    Does anyne have the Plugins or something that can make subtitle.....
    And..I want to create not only english...same time i want to create two or three subtitles in the same time

    Create Many Subtitles in a short time...i hope you guys will know...
    I really damn appreciate it....
    because i really sick of this problem everytime when i met it.....

    Premiere Pro isn't designed to handle open captions; so you will either need to:
    Use external tools to generate an image sequence or video track holding the text - Photoshop for example can use external data sources (text/CSV files) to dynamically create a whole series of PNG files.
    Render closed caption data to open caption pixels with a plugin such as SUGARfx's "Subtitles".
    Generate the caption track using After Effects, which can in turn use scripting to pull the text from a data file. There's an AE plugin called pt_ImportSubtitles which can automate that process for you - Google it.

  • Mavericks + Quicktime and forced subtitles in TV Shows and movies

    I have noticed that when I now open a TV Show or a movie from my external drive (M4V files) forced subtitles will not show. They don't even appear in the subtitles menu so I can manually enable them.
    I usually use Subler to edit my shows and movies' metadata and add SRT subtitles after I download them. This has worked flawlessly in my Mac and my iPhone until I updated to Mavericks, so it must be related.
    However, if the subtitle track is not checked, Quicktime automatically enables it (I suppose that's because default audio in OS X is Spanish but the audio track in the file is English). I'm not sure if VLC has changed its behaviour too (That would be strange, but forced subtitles don't appear either).
    I have over 355 GB of TV Shows and about 2,1 TB of movies that I wouldn't want to edit, so is there any solution to this, like a hidden preference I hae not found yet? Thanks in advance!

    You can also spend a few days searching for "creating custom screen graphics for movies." Try youtube but you wil lfind better stuff on vimeo. Many fo the motiongraphics forums have discusssion areas where artists will share their methods. Lopok carefully for behind the scenes features and docos created by the artists.
    However, After Effects is only where the animation happens. You design and previsualize your effects in other applications. Well, there are some fabulous presets you can purchase but, of course, they are relatively expensive. Once your familiarity with AE goes beyond the most basic stuff, you wil appreciate why presets and effects packages cost what they do.

  • Problem with automatic table of contents Level headings

    I am having trouble with the Table of contents in Adobe Indesign. When I create my automatic table of contents one of the Level headings that is supposed to appear under Chapter 1 instead appears under the Introduction heading. On the actual page where the heading paragraph styles have been defined the 2nd Level heading is as it should be underneath Chapter 1. So what I end up having to do is move them manually in the TOC. But I don’t want to have to do this and it would be great if Indesign instead did the automatic table of contents correctly.
    I wonder if it has anything to with the fact that our template is set up with headings (that sit outside the body text to the left) as text boxes which we place inside the main body text box (they have anchored object settings on them so the heading sits off to the side).  Whilst the anchored text box is exactly in the right sequence, maybe indesign senses and reads the anchored text box last?
    I have an example of the file and the problem that is occurring in the pdf, it can be downloaded from:
    Is there a solution to this?  If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

    I've been playing with this for a while, and quite honestly I don't understand why it's doing things the way it is. It's working correctly on Page 11, which seems to me to have exactly the same structure, except for the subtitle. It also works correctly if I copy the frames from page 14 and paste into a new doc.
    Things I tried that did not work: Export as .inx and move the pages to a new doc. You might try copying the text and pasting into a new doc.

  • Automatic legend not required

    hello, I m authoring a musical dvd (dual layer) with 2 subtitles options (spanish and portuguese) , by default the disc subtitle settings are set to "not set". When the DVD is done the spanish subtitles (stream 01) apear automaticly without chosing it before. Also the options subtitles menu does not work, the off button is set to "not set" in the subtitles menu.
    This problem happen after doing the later versions, mabe its a language problem. Allready tried a script (subtitle stream off) connected to the first play track (didn t work).
    I could try to re do it again but I have lots (5 hours) of subtitle work and I cant find ways to export it....

    Hey Dub
    welcome to the apple DVDSP forums
    anyway, this particular question has come up on several occassions.
    the work-around for your problem is to set a dummy subtitle stream in S1. to do this, delete your primary stream and the anywhere in the stream, double click the stream and just press the spacebar and hit enter. thats it.
    then you would place your spanish and portuguese streams in S2 and S3 respectively.
    finally then set your initial stream as "off" (in the menu) unless you want to make one of your 2 languages your default, BUT make sure it's really S1 (your dummy stream).
    then in the make the destinations in your subtitle menu page as you regularly would jumping to spanish if it is selected or portuguese if that is selected).
    now, the reason you are having this problem is that SOME players automatically display S1 as a default (i have 2 here at work that do that, very annoying). my particular player HAS to have 1 subtitle stream on, so it chooses 1 (but i can choose any of the 32 streams).
    hope that helps

  • Best way to create attractive subtitles

    I'm not talking about closed captioning, but rather, attractive burned in subtitles in Premiere.  I need the ability to quickly change the style of all titles at once (e.g. font, color, size), so I think that rules out the title tool.
    I followed one suggestion to create them in Photoshop, with each phrase its own layer.  This way I might have 1000 or more layers.  But when I import the PSD as layers to Premiere, they are arranged alphabetically, and I don't see any easy way to arrange them in the right order.  If I import the PSD as a sequence, the titles are stacked in the right order, but I can't think of any way to move them all to one track in order.  Any ideas?

    Link to Steven's solution?
    Jim, in Photoshop it's very easy, you just select all layers and change the font and color in the formatting bar.  Then all the titles should refresh automatically in Premiere.  I agree that we need a built-in tool though, and I've already submitted a feature request.
    Ann, numbering the layers would work, but I think any time you change the text it resets the layer name.  I wonder if it's possible to write a script that automatically prepends layer numbers to the layer names.  Are layers even numbered in Photoshop?
    No one has a solution to convert a stacked timeline like this to sequential clips?
