Structure of image scripts
In image scripts, the first line designates the screen position, in pixel coordinates, of all image files. The second line
includes a path to the folder containing the image files. The path is absolute, not relative, so make sure that you
update the path if you move the image files. All remaining lines reference a single subtitle per line, specifying the
subtitle number, the start and end time, and the file name of the image file containing the subtitle.
The format of an image script file is as follows (italicized text represents the text you replace):
Display_Area (Left Top Right Bottom)
Directory Path
Subtitle# Start_timecode End_timecode Image_file_name
The display area uses the frame pixels for coordinates (for example, 720 x 480 for NTSC or 720 x 576 pixels for PAL),
where the zero point is the upper left corner. You can separate the elements on each line using spaces or tabs.
In this example, the full-screen images overlay the entire screen:
Display_Area (000 000 720 480)
Directory C:\Subtitles\Image Files\Caption Inc Images\
1 00;00;02;02 00;00;03;15 CATTALESS001.TIF
2 00;00;05;18 00;00;09;20 CATTALESS002.TIF

Structure of FAB image scripts
FAB image scripts contain separate position information for each image file. Unlike image scripts, you specify where
to find the image files when you import a FAB image script. Each line of the file references a single subtitle image
file, its start and end time in the video, and the pixel coordinates for its upper left corner and lower right corner. FAB
subtitle scripts use the following format:
Image_file_name Start_Timecode End_Timecode Left Top Right Bottom
The position values use the frame pixels for coordinates (for example, 720 x 480 for NTSC or 720 x 576 pixels for
PAL), where the zero point is the upper left corner. You can separate the elements on the lines by using spaces or tabs,
and separate the lines within the script by using the Enter key.
In this example, the full-screen images overlays the entire screen:
RACE001.TIF 00;00;02;02 00;00;03;15 000 000 720 480
RACE002.TIF 00;00;05;18 00;00;09;20 000 000 720 480
