I’m trying to import captions from srt-file, but Premiere imports only  231 captions of 722 (that is 26 minutes of total 1 h 39 min). Is there some limit or what´s wrong? What can I do if there is a limit?

I just ran a test on an SRT with 1800 captions, and it imported them all without issue.

Maybe try running your SRT through this free tool to see if it needs to be repaired: https://en.editingtools.io/subtitles/

I checked my file according to you advice and the tool made 54 changes. However, that didn't help my problem: Premiere still imports only  231 captions of 751.

Now I finally managed to get all done. I deleted captions 231–234 from the edited version and all the other captions went smoothly. Then I inserted these missing captions by hand. Thank you for assistance!

Hmm...don't know, but try opening the srt in a text editor. See if there's more than one line break after caption 231, or some other formatting glitch.

I checked that and there is no "formatting glitch" between captions 231 and 232 so the reason is still a mystery.
