About subtitle colors
Timeline color sets specify the colors used in subtitles. You can use the same color set for the entire project or define
a color set for each timeline. A color set is divided into three groups. You can select the appropriate color group for
each clip to ensure maximum visibility or to distinguish, for example, between characters in a film. Before you define
the colors, it is important to understand the following concepts:
•
A timeline color set consists of a maximum of nine colors, each with its own opacity setting.
•
The colors are divided into three subtitle groups so that you can vary the subtitle colors depending upon the
background or speaker.
•
Each subtitle group contains a value for the fill, stroke, and anti-alias color.
A
B
C
Subtitle
A. Fill color B. Anti-alias color C. Stroke color
•
Each timeline can reference only one color set.
•
Each subtitle clip can reference one of the three groups within the color set assigned to the timeline.
•
You can modify the default set or create your own color sets.
•
You can save color sets and use them in other projects.
•
If you edit a color set, Adobe Encore DVD automatically updates all timelines that use that color set.
