Closed Captions Basics - Adobe ENCORE 2 Manual

To indicate the active audio or subtitle track
You can indicate to the viewer which audio or subtitle track is currently active when a menu is displayed. For
example, if a viewer uses a menu to turn on French subtitles, watches the DVD, and then returns to the menu with
subtitle options, the French subtitle option is selected, even if it wasn't the default.
1 In the Project panel, select a menu that acts as a setup menu for the DVD's audio or subtitle tracks.
In the Properties panel, choose Active Audio Track or Active Subtitle Track from the Default Button menu.

Closed captions basics

About closed captions
Closed captions provide assistance for the hearing impaired. Through captioning, the audio portion of a program
appears as text superimposed over the image. Closed captions include dialog, as well as descriptions of sounds in the
program. Only the NTSC television standard accepts closed captions; PAL does not.
You create closed captions using a third-party captioning application, exporting them as SCC files. You select the
SCC file in Adobe Encore DVD, using the Video Clip Properties panel.
To select closed captions
In the Timeline Viewer, select the video track you want to add closed captions to.
1
In the Video Clip Properties panel, click the Browse button for Field 1 or Field 2. (Closed captions typically use
2
Field 1.) Locate and select the SCC file that contains the closed captions, and then click Open.
