Hello everyone! I've been lurking around for sometime now looking for answers on how to import subtitles to PPro. So far, as of writing this post, PPro does not handle subtitle files. Fortunately, I found a quick and dirty workaround to importing all kinds of subtitle formats to PPro as PNG. But firstly, please know that there are 3rd party plug-ins that lets you import srt files into PPro and let's you edit it in PPro, but there's a price, and my solution is free NB: Subtitles are better as a seperate file. But in case you really need to burn your subs on the video, then follow the steps below. Steps: 1. If you have a long project and and don't want to use PPro's title module, then you must go and download Subtitle Edit. - it's a great FREE software that has an video monitor and audio waveform where you can scrub to the specific time you want. 2. Once you're done subtitling, go to File > Export > Final Cut XML + PNG (i know it's FCP but it works well with PPro too) You can then set the desired style for your subtitles, font color, size, etc. Once you've exported, it's going to output 2 main files: one, the PNG files and two, the XML file. 3. Import the XML to PPro. It's going to generate a Sequence with the subtitles as PNG in it. 4. Relink the PNGs. For whatever reason, when you import the XML, the PNGs are not linked yet. 5. Place your subtitle sequence on your main timeline. Reposition and reframe as needed. 6. Render. Might take 10% longer than usual. That's it! I hope this has been helpful. My software: Subtitle Edit Premiere Pro CC. I'm pretty sure it would work on older versions too.
