Save time by using SRT and TXT files to add content to subtitles

If you have a project that has lots of subtitles, you can create a TXT or SRT file and then quickly import it into PowerDirector for placement on the timeline. TXT files are easier to create, but must have empty subtitles to place them on the timeline. SRT files don't require empty subtitles, but since they have sequence numbers and time codes, they are a bit trickier to edit. (You can also export an existing subtitle track as an SRT file.)

Super. Thanks for letting me know. --Jim

When splitting a subtitle into two rows delete the space between the words first. Then move it into the second line. This will make "left justify" align properly, as well as correctly "center align". As usual 👍.

Chris,
Thanks for sharing this tip with me and the community here. Very practical.

Thank you, Jim. Another useful tutorial. I have recently started subtitling my videos. I am not very clear how much the subtitles help in expanding video reach. Was wondering if it is worth the effort.
I also found that English subtitles are easier to handle, but there are more difficulties with Hindi subtitles that I used because of absence of a Hindi keyboard.

[@SharperTurtle]

I can guess it would be more challenging to enter subtitles in using Hindi without a keyboard adapted to that language. Hope you find a solution that works. --Jim

Just got the latest update. They have removed the title reveal mask feature! It was one of my favorite features! I'm so mad!! If there is still a way to do the same thing just as simply I hope you will make a tutorial about it. 😡

I was masking titles before the Title Reveal Mask was created. So, yes, you can use other masking techniques to accomplish this.
Here is one example:
