Sorry for being a newbie, but I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere? I just want to put a simple subtitle (url) on an entire video. How do I do this? When I search I find only how to do it in Encore, but I don't have Encore, I just have Premiere Pro CS5. Thanks in advance!

Thanks you guys, gonna look at that tutorial now. Just thought it would be a lot simpler. Like the tutorial I watched on Encore, you click in the timeline, below the last audio track, type it in, stretch it to the end of the move and voila. Guess it's just a little harder in PP. Sure do appreciate your help!

You do need to get your terminolgy sorted a little.

Sub titles are generally for the purpose of "translating" an audio track in a foriegn language to a familiar language by way of a "sentence" at the bottom of the screen. These are created in a different workflow if one needs this for a DVD.

eg Encore will create them in multiple languages but it also permits the viwer to watch the DVD and choose what ever subtitle it will display.

A Title is created in a Titler or Photoshop and applied permanently to a movie in a program such as Premiere PRO.

It is very simple actually and you will discover that the Titler has a lot of power to create interesting creative Titles.

The basis of it is you create a Title and you place it over the top of any layer in the timeline (as per Bill Hunts reference above)

Here's a look at how your Timeline would look:

Think that image might be from PrE, but it will layout basically the same - just look a tad different.

Good luck,

You say "subtitle," but it sounds like you really want to add a Lower-Third Title with your URL. Is that correct?

If so, then you would create your Lower-Third Title in Titler, then drag it to an empty Video Track above your Video Clips, and extend its Duration to match the Timeline. PrPro comes with some Lower-Third Templates, but you can easily create your own from scratch.

If you mean Sub-Titles, like for additional languages, that is different and you do that in Encore.

Good luck,
