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 correponding 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), and E2 (outer edge). We will make further adjustments to the colors and the contrast settings in the subsequent section after importing, so that the subtitles will appear with the correct setting. The following screen is displayed to import the subtitle scripts. If your project has more than one subtitle streams, a script file is required for each additional subtitle stream.

Scenarist displays the following prompt to confirm the subtitle import process. We click OK to continue as following.

After the import process is complete, a thumbnail display of each subtitle defined in the script is displayed on the associated track as following. We can use the Zoom icon to expand or contract the timeline display so that the thumbnails of the subtitles are legible as following. We should note that the highlight area is empty since we do not want the subpictures to behave like the menu buttons.
