Hi, I use subtitle workshop, but I never import it into edius, but i do import into my dvd authoring program, which is DVDit pro 6.1

We use Subtitle Workshop with DVDlab Pro. It doesn't seem to matter which format you choose as most are accepted.

Subtitles in Edius

Maybe I'm not thinking right here! I thought it could be used in edius on the timeline just like normal subtitles? I hope I'm right!

If not whats the best way to put subtitles on an avi file- Quick title seems a long drag somehow.

No, I'm pretty sure SubtitleWorkshop is specifically for DVD authoring programs, where the subtitle is pocessed as a separate layer from the actual video. With Edius it's QuickTitler or TitleMotion "Pro" I'm afraid - I can well understand your disappointment.

There's a difference between hard coded subtitles and subtitles. With regular subtitles, the user can turn on/off the subtitles with the remote control (or through a menu), and this is done through the DVD authoring program. The other way is hard coded subs where the subtitles are always present and encoded with the video. This can be done in EDIUS through quicktitler or TMPro or Photoshop (I've done it through Photoshop).
