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

    In case you're still interested, I figured this out. I'll attach an example. With your caption selected in your Project Panel, go to File > Export > Captions... Select the XML Format. You can then open up that XML code in TextEdit or Microsoft Word. You can delete the extra code if you want. Just keep the timecode after "<p begin=" and the text after "<span>." I noticed that if your captions/subtitles are more than one line, then the timecode is listed again with the second line (see example below). I know this method isn't ideal either, but it'll work.

    Example:

    <p begin="00:00:01:12" end="00:00:03:25" region="pop1" style="basic" tts:origin="10% 74%">

            <style/>

            <span>ON BEHALF OF THE MINISTRY,

              <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontFamily="monospaceSansSerif" tts:fontSize="20px" tts:fontWeight="bold"/>

            </span>

          </p>

          <p begin="00:00:01:12" end="00:00:03:25" region="pop1" style="basic" tts:origin="10% 79.333333333333343%">

            <style/>

            <span>I WANT TO THANK YOU

              <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontFamily="monospaceSansSerif" tts:fontSize="20px" tts:fontWeight="bold"/>

            </span>

          </p>

          <p begin="00:00:01:12" end="00:00:03:25" region="pop1" style="basic" tts:origin="10% 84.666666666666671%">

            <style/>

            <span>FOR JOINING US IN WORSHIP.

    <p begin="00:00:03:26" end="00:00:06:13" region="pop1" style="basic" tts:origin="10% 10%">

            <style/>

            <span>WE HAVE BEEN PRIVILEDGED

              <style tts:backgroundColor="#000000FF" tts:fontFamily="monospaceSansSerif" tts:fontSize="20px" tts:fontWeight="bold"/>

            </span>

          </p>

          <p begin="00:00:03:26" end="00:00:06:13" region="pop1" style="basic" tts:origin="10% 15.333333333333332%">

            <style/>

            <span>TO SHARE GOD'S WORD WITH YOU

    FYI, yes, I know that PRIVILEGED is misspelled in my example lol.
