Importing SRT files into PREMIERE PRO

Hi Stan, thank you for your answer.

The SRT should be in Arial font.

However when importing and adding the SRT file to my timeline, PREMIERE reads it as if it was Helvetica font.

I manage to correct the subtitles manually -changing it to Arial font. When I do that italics are back.

But then, when I export the SRT file from PREMIERE the problem remains.

Here are some lines from the SRT file.

THANKS!

1
00:00:04,927 --> 00:00:07,160
<font face="Arial">PRESENTS</font>

2
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:13,810
<font face="Arial">I was a film child.</font>

3
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:15,611
<font face="Arial">Undoubtedly.</font>

4
00:00:16,073 --> 00:00:18,397
<font face="Arial">I watched a lot of movies
in my childhood,</font>

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,029
<font face="Arial">because my mother often
went to the cinema.</font>

00:00:23,893 --> 00:00:25,299
<font face="Arial">At that time,</font>

<font face="Arial">my older sister</font>

8
00:00:27,412 --> 00:00:29,285
<font face="Arial">came up with this idea,</font>

9
00:00:29,505 --> 00:00:31,016
<font face="Arial">of writing to Hollywood</font>

10
00:00:31,113 --> 00:00:32,517
<font face="Arial">to the artists</font>

11
00:00:32,627 --> 00:00:34,103
<font face="Arial">since they sent photos.</font>

12
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,697
<font face="Arial">I still had bad handwriting</font>

13
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:37,877
<font face="Arial">for my age.</font>

14
00:00:38,013 --> 00:00:39,600
<font face="Arial">She wrote the letters</font>

15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,313
<font face="Arial">and I signed them.</font>

16
00:00:42,747 --> 00:00:44,546
<font face="Arial">Of the photos I received</font>

17
00:00:45,093 --> 00:00:46,528
<font face="Arial">in my childhood,</font>

18
00:00:46,707 --> 00:00:48,406
<font face="Arial">I still keep some.</font>

19
00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:50,233
<font face="Arial">Between them,</font>

20
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:51,910
<font face="Arial">this photo of Kim Novak.</font>

21
00:00:52,833 --> 00:00:55,028
<font face="Arial">This is the envelope
she used to send it</font>

22
00:00:55,197 --> 00:00:56,615
<font face="Arial">with my address.</font>

23
00:00:56,793 --> 00:00:58,635
<font face="Arial">I remember it perfectly.</font>

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,822
<font face="Arial">In Calixto García,</font>

<font face="Arial">Guantánamo, Eastern Cuba.</font>

27
00:01:06,087 --> 00:01:07,611
<font face="Arial">And it's signed by her.</font>

28
00:01:08,067 --> 00:01:10,424
<font face="Arial">There are many photos like hers.</font>

29
00:01:10,647 --> 00:01:12,220
<font face="Arial">What's interesting is</font>

30
00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:14,827
<font face="Arial">I brought this photo from Guantánamo</font>

31
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,740
<font face="Arial">to Santiago de Cuba, where I studied.</font>

32
00:01:18,247 --> 00:01:20,121
<font face="Arial">From Santiago de Cuba to Havana</font>

33
00:01:20,707 --> 00:01:22,268
<font face="Arial">and from Havana in a suitcase,</font>

34
00:01:22,293 --> 00:01:24,115
<font face="Arial">to Miami when I left the country.</font>

Gustavo,

I don't have a problem importing italics from SRT.

Does the SRT specify the font? There are some styling that is not part of the basic SRT specifications, but there are extended specs that may be honored. I don't think PR will import a font family, but that is easy to change in the style.

Pasting a few lines of the srt file here, including the beginning, might help.
