Question

Inserting Subtitles into After Effects or Premiere Pro (CS5.5)

I'm working on a PC with Adobe Production Suite CS5.5 -- doing my rough cuts in Premiere and my final edits in After Effects.

The final deliverable of the vidoe will be in MPEG-4.

Is there anyway to drop in a timed subtitle text file, either .txt or .srt, into After Effects of Premiere Pro CS5.5?

      I just found this plugin for importing subtitles as an SRT file, and being able to burn-in titles to Adobe Premiere or After Effects (then use dynamic linking to premiere timeline).

      http://www.sugarfx.tv/info/subtitles_SUGARfx.html

      I have also seen some scripts where you can import a script to After Effects, and then use dynamic linking to put it into premiere.  But I have not been able to get that to work for me.  Going to try the plugin next.

      Has there been any development in this area since CS6?

      I've subscribed to the Cloud with the intention of making quality international versions of my clients' productions & so far have to revert to free stuff to finish the job.

      Adobe 'should' be able to integrate an import function for .SRT or preferably .ASS subtitle / closed caption files without too much ado. I can only assume there is some strategic, incomprehensible reason not to.

      Thx.

        Not natively, but there may be some usable text script on AEScripts.com...

        This appears to be the only plugin, http://aescripts.com/pt_importsubtitles/ and it claims that it's not compatibale with CS5.5.
