Premier: Export subtitles from a section of timeline using "Work area", and have subs start at 0:00?

[glen230277]

I have a 1.5 hour discussion I am editing in my timeline.  I want to export a 5-minute section and post the video online. (See image, and work area bar shon).  I have created subtitles for this section and want to export the .srt file for this section alone.  When I do, however the timestamp for the first subtitle is not 0:00 of the exported video, but the 0:16:00 of its position on the whole timeline (See screenshot of .csv file).

How do I export an .srt file with the timestamp for the exported section relative to the work area bar?

Thanks for any advice!

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Thanks so much for this advice.  Obviously a bit of a noob to the help forums...

Hi Glen,

To do this, I would recommend:

1. Set an In/Out point to match your work area bar.
2. Make sure you have all your tracks selected, including your caption track (and no individual clips), and choose Sequence > Make Subsequence. This will create a new sequence using only the clips between your In/Out point.
3. Load the new subsequence in the timeline, and from the Timeline context menu, choose Start Time. Set this to 0.
4. Choose File > Export > Captions.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Paul
