import a srt subtitle into premiere (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

Hi,

 

I have a subtitle in srt ( made in an another software - Subtitle Edit -  and I want to import it into Premiere.

 

I have looked into the forum where this topic has been discussed but did find sollution to the problem so I try again.

 

Its 2 things.

 

1. When I drag the file into the timeline I have to resync the start. It is a way to sync the time in the srt-file with the timeline automaticly?

 

The first things was not so hard to live with but the other one where harder

 

2. The srt-file captions is too small when its imported.
I tried first to scale it up in the effects-window but that made the letters a bit blurry?
Then I opened up the caption setting by double-click on the srt-file in the assets-window. Then I could set the fonts bigger for each title. A bit too much work but I tried it out.
But then I realised that the "srt-movie" hade a default size which was the black BG behind the white text. And if the lext was too long it was wider than the box/video so you could not see it all.

 

Anyoen the best wayt to adjust these settings inside premiere.

 

I also tried the final cut + png export from Subtitle Edit but I wanted white text with black box as background.

i'm following this, same issues...


This is an old thread. There have been better options in various versions since.

For example, new in 2019 (not sure which version, but verified it is there in 2019.0.2), is an import captions setting (button in Captions panel, lower left), that allows you to override the file characteristics for srt and stl imports. You can import an srt as open captions or closed; set font style characteristics, etc.

So what specific dot version of PR are you running? And what problems are you having?

I suggest starting a new thread; it will be easier to help you.

Right click the file, select modify-interpret footage and set the size under the tab captions.

Thanks,
I tried this but the options in the caption tab was greyed out.
Tried some of the options in the Modify Clip window but did not succeed that tab to open for selection.

I found the caption option gray out too. I guess you might need to select the caption in the project panel first before exporting the captions. I found it in this tutorial >> https://youtu.be/zrioNxpDH-c
