I have some questions about subtitles in Scenarist:
- For the subtitles of a movie, I must put the Wide ratio and the Letterbox ratio or just one only ?
- For the subpicture of the menu, I make two kind of pictures: Wide (720 x 576 PAL) and Letterbox (720 x 432 PAL), It's right ?
- How I can for use partial subtitles (subtitles which appear when a man speak in his language like Russian for example) because in scenarist I try to put it like a normal sub but I think it's a mistake.
Thanks you very much for the aid and sorry but I'm french ;)

Finaly I use Vobrator for extract my menu in .d2v and take it in Scenarist... It said that it is a 4:3 Pan-scan menu... So I try to use my two subpicture (Letterbox and Wide) and I see a bad result... For the wide the resolution is good but when I take letterbox or wide subpicture on pan-scan, the highlight are moved and doesn't in front of the title on the video... So maybe, for pan-scan PAL, I must use a specific resolution ?
Thanks you

Well I just started playing with Scenarist so I am not an expert but here is what I think:

- When I tried subpicture in Widescreen only the program told me I had to had at least one wide and one Letterbox subtitle (I just set the same for both)

- Well if you have both version I think you can put both in the program and set one for Wide and one for Letter

- For Partial subtitles I think that in normal movies they are usually hardcoded, but what you can try doing is creating a sst file where the text appears only where you want.


Hope I can help but as I said I am not an expert myself.

Best Regards
