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 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
