if i make my subtitles in preimer pro by transcribing , i wanna animate them in after effects , if i link them all to after effects , it imports all the footage as normal , but the graphic layers imports as comps , and the text layeyrs are inside them , it would be a good idea if the were out and would be easy to animate it by third party apps that only animate text layers not comps.

@SKY丶28576592devw  Use "Upgrade Caption to Graphics" and then copy them to After Effects. You can un-precompose all the text layers with https://aescripts.com/un-precompose/

I have not tested this method:

But you can export the caption track as .csv.

 

I cannot find the product I'm looking for on aescripts.com. It is a method for importing subtitles to AE. I'm pretty sure it just takes srt file from PR and imports the text (as layers).

Sorry; of course. I wonder if there is a different way to send them to AE?

But the method I'd look at is exporting the captions as srt and then use one of the scripts that takes them into AE directly.

 

I'll look for a link later today.

Try selecting all the captions and "Graphics and Titles" -> Upgrade Caption to Graphics. This makes them graphics text items.

 

Does that work?
