How can I create multiple titles at once from a long list?

There is a way to do it from a spreadsheet, but it involves Photoshop. See:

Spreadsheets to Lower Thirds - PremierePro.net

I have done it many times.

I would try this with After Effects using a script to pull in the text. I might even do the timing there.

See the link in this thread for an idea. The method there was for importing .srt captions, but you are just going to create a text file from the excel list.

Neil's link to AEScripts may get you a better option.

Hi Sky,

Sorry, there's no easy way to accomplish creation of a batch of titles from a spreadsheet. There's probably a way to create a data driven .mogrt, though. I have seen one for rolling credits, but one could be created with a drop down list of all the entries so you could create individual titles very quickly via .mogrts. This wouldn't take too long to build out.

Let me ask around a bit to see if alternate methods might be used for what you want to accomplish. As an alternative, I would look into batch actions or scripting in Photoshop. I have heard of using Legacy Titler too, but you may have to have an older version of Premiere Pro onhand to make that work.

Hope others may have some ideas here. Good luck.

Thanks,
Kevin
