reorganizing subtitle track

hello i have my movie , 36 minute long, with a subtitle track spletted in several part

that s becuase after i finisged to subbing, i need to rearrange the clps, and the dfast way to keep the subtitle in sync was to create new pieces

so now i have several pieces of it

I planning to make a good restyling of mu movie, make it longer, 5.10 minutes longer, so i will need to move again all these parts, and it will get a difficult matter

is there a way to organize the part to make them at least a unique one, or i don't know...other suggestion?

I have realized that fromn this point of view subbing in premiere is bad, as it doesn't rearrange the sub when rearranging clips

thanks a lot

    Any luck getting things figured out? I was thinking more about this today. You could open the captions panel and take screenshots of the list of close-captions/subtitles and their time stamps. I don't recall if there is a way to get the close-captions/subtitles out of there, though.

    Hi stefanocps,

    Maybe a screenshot of your clips and the subtitle track(s) would illustrate your question more. Let me first ask for a little more clarification so that I better understand this. Are your subtitles all one imported clip from outside software? Or are you using Premiere Pro's built-in titles to function as subtitles?

    When you say "to organize the part to make them at least a unique one," what does that mean? I'm not clear one what you are referring to by "the part" and what you mean by "a unique one."

    While I await your response, I'll add a little information if by chance this answers your question. I apologize if I'm totally missing the mark here. 1.) You can use the Track Select Forward Tool to move all of your parts at once.

    2.) Or you can simply drag a selection box to highlight everything that you need to move all at once. 3.) Or you can right click on your sequence in your project bin, select "Duplicate," and then work in a duplicated sequence, where you can copy and paste the pieces from your original sequence to fit your longer one.

    I'm not sure if any of this is relevant to what you are trying to do, but I'll look forward to your response for additional information on your project.

    Good luck,

    -Brandon Loshe

    the subtile track is the one surrounded by the red circle

    as you see there are several pieces

    and i would like to have  for order pourpouse all in the same unique track, and have if possible from it

    a correct list of

    minutes dialogues (may be exporting?)

    That said, i am going to extend some part of clips and i just feel unconfortable to move pieces and sometimes loosing the sync

    all the sub was made within premiere pro

    Gotcha okay, I think I understand now. So if you move several clips around, you want to make sure that the subtitles stay with them, correct? Also, you want the freedom to extend any clip without losing sync. 2 options that come to mind:

    1.) Group multiple clips together: This would involve using the Razor Tool to your subtitle clip. You'll have to make the edit so that it aligns perfectly with your video edit. Then highlight all of the clips with the subtitle track, right click ➡ Group. This will lock all of the highlighted clips together so that they will not lose sync. This way you can trim them or extend any clip as need. And if you move a clip, then the whole group will move together. Later on, if you want them separate again, just right click ➡ Ungroup.

    2.) Nest multiple clips into a pre-composed sequence: This would also involve using the Razor Tool to your subtitle clip. Just like before, you'll have to make the edit so that it aligns perfectly with your video edit. Then highlight all of the clips with the subtitle track, and go to Clip ➡ Nest. This will put everything highlighted into another sequence. This will consolidate everything into another sequence with the same settings. In case you are wondering, even when you export with subtitles/close-captions in a nested sequence, they can still be exported as a sidecar file or burned into the video.

    I would do option #1, but maybe you'll find option #2 to work better for you.
