Scenarist accepts valid subtitle script files with the extension .sst.
A valid script file contains information on how to recreate a subtitle from a
bitmap file with the appropriate color mapping details. This guide shows you how
to import subtitles from script files for commercial DVD applications.
In general, there is a corresponding bitmap file for each subtitle. Since each
subtitle file is imported to a particular track (chapter), the starting and ending
time assigned for each subtitle should be within the duration of the corresponding
chapter to avoid producing errors during the import process. Each subtitle bitmap
may contain up to four major color groups: BG (background), P (pattern), E1 (inner
edge or emphasis 1), and E2 (outer edge or emphasis 2). This guide shows you how
to make further adjustments to the colors and the contrast settings after importing,
so that the subtitles will appear with the correct setting. The following screen
is displayed to import the subtitle scripts.

The sample subpicture files contain more than one shade of colors for each major
color group. To help Scenarist pick the color groups correctly, we need to define
a range of colors to be interpreted as one of the principal colors used to display
the subtitles. To define a color range, double click on the desired color in the
Simulation window. The following dialog is displayed if we double click on the Bg
(Color 4) background color item. This guide shows you how to make the adjustments
so that colors with all color components greater than 240 are interpreted as white.
