The BDN format started as the accepted format for delivering subtitles for use by Sonic Scenarist BD but quickly turned into the standard subtitles delivery method in Blu-ray authoring tools and applications. The BDN export creates high-quality, fully anti-aliased images with alpha.
Image format |
PNG 8 bit, PNG 32 bit |
File name |
The name of the special text script file, which contains the In- and Out-cues, image placement, subtitled material title and other information. |
Image file prefix |
The text value in this field together with the subsequent subtitle numbers forms individual image names. In the above figure the image names will be: Sample_0001.PNG, Sample_0002.PNG and so on. |
Language / Code |
Indicates the language of the subtitles. The Code field is filled automatically after selecting a language but it can be edited by typing in different language code if needed. |
Export second subtitles track as forced narratives |
Subtitles from the secondary subtitles track will be considered Forced Narratives and will be exported. |
Crop subtitle image to actual size |
This option specifies that output images will be reduced to the size defined by the area occupied by the subtitle text. Tick off to export full-sized images instead. |
Export Zero Subtitle |
Switch it on if you want to export the zero subtitle. |
Export uncompressed images |
By default the script and image files will be exported in a .zip archive which is more convenient for a number of reason. If you need to export and use the images from a local folder, make sure to tick off this option instead. |

Additional options |
Provides a few more options: Preview Text Script - Displays a preview window with the exported script's body. Preview images - Opens a preview window and shows how the image will look like. |
