how to make a graphical subtitle???????

[mazinz]

im sure this might be moved out of this forum (?), but i had a question with making a subtitle.

Is their any program that will let me make a subtitle from a picture (lets say for ex: something similar to mst3k or if you dont know that, picture the black outline of an audience sitting in a theatre)?

I did make one with photoshop (bitmap with transparent background) and imported it into Maestro, but since i did not have the full commands for it, the sub did not stay on the screen for the set length, etc thanks again

It should have stayed on. But remember that subtitles do not survive past a chapter point. If you want what you are suggesting, then you have to put one at the start of every chapter.

i had it set (stretching the bitmap along the time line) for 10mins in Maestro. No other chapters were made, but if i fast forwarded or scanned the clip in anyway it would disappear and not re-appear at all (even after telling it in the software/homedeck players to come back on).
I should have been more specific in saying that i wanted the sub to be removable. If i clicked the force sub button that worked fine (but then i could not remove it, obviously).

Still i will try it again tonight and test it using 2 chapters
