how to import subtitles to PPro. So far, as of writing this post, PPro does not handle subtitle files. Fortunately, I found a quick and dirty workaround to importing all kinds of subtitle formats to PPro as PNG. But firstly, there are 3rd party plug-ins that lets you import srt files into PPro and let's you edit it in PPro.
NB: Subtitles are better as a seperate file. But in case you really need to burn your subs on the video, then follow the steps below.
Steps:
1. If you have a long project and and don't want to use PPro's title module, then you must go and download Subtitle Edit. - it's a great FREE software that has an video monitor and audio waveform where you can scrub to the specific time you want.
2. Once you're done subtitling, go to File > Export > Final Cut XML + PNG (i know it's FCP but it works well with PPro too) You can then set the desired style for your subtitles, font color, size, etc. Once you've exported, it's going to output 2 main files: one, the PNG files and two, the XML file.
3. Import the XML to PPro. It's going to generate a Sequence with the subtitles as PNG in it.
4. Relink the PNGs. For whatever reason, when you import the XML, the PNGs are not linked yet.
5. Place your subtitle sequence on your main timeline. Reposition and reframe as needed.
When I import the XML file, it then askes me to re-connect. All that works great, but it does not generate a sequence with the subtitles.
I have a company create subtitles for my company and they use swift/softel program. They send me the XML + all associated PNG files. We've been using Final Cut for years, but are trying to switch to AP. In FCP it generates a sequence that matches the timecode they exported.
I am using VideoStudio 3x. I've imported a DVD that contains subtitles -
-when I view the resulting Mpeg file within the program, the subtitles are displayed -when I view the mpeg through another viewer (ie Windows media player) - the subtitles are NOT visible -If I burn the mpeg to a DVD - again - the subtitles are neither visible nor available
how do I either - extract the subtitles into an srt file - or make them visible in the other viewers?
- odd thing - when I view the original DVD I can turn the subtitles on or off - but when I try to extract them directly from the source - I get an empty file (go figure)
importing DVD's in VS-ProX5. I currently have both versions 12 and 15 (Pro X5) installed on my computer. In version 12, if I import or capture a DVD through the VIDEO_TS folders it will give me many options for what I want to do with the DVD Folder. It will let me see my audio options, let me choose to include or exclude subtitles and even change to a different angle, which I have never used. So a home video that I am trying to import in ProX5 does not even give me the choice! It just inserts the subtitles for me! The problem is that this time I didn't want the subtitles since my movie is in English and the subtitles are for my non-English speaking family members..Where on the new VS is the option for choosing subtitles? I can't believe it's not there and that Vs12 is more advanced than VS15..
I added subtitles to the video...but then there were a few seconds without sound (sound is fine before adding subtitles) all along the video sometimes.
I have several Premier cs3 projects using the Matrox system which I want to import into Premier CC. Howeer the CC will not accept the avi files that were used in the cs3 software. Do I need a special codec for matrox avi files? Where can I get that? Adobe obviously has it as I use it in the cs3 version?
Trying to upgrade from CS5 to CS6. Upgraded one NLE and found CS6 will not import DV files that were used with CS5. Can't believe Adobe missed this one! We create many DV files each day that can't be used with CS6. Any sort of conversion would just add another unnecessary step. Do I need to stay with CS5
I work on a Windows 7 machine. I have Creative Cloud. I am trying to import an aaf that my editors have sent me. They first sent me an .aaf with "AAF edit protocol" checked and all the media imbedded in the file. It gave me a Generic Error after trying to import.
I had them re-export the .aaf this time with links to the media as instructed on all the info I could find online. On import into Premiere, it begins to import and then just hangs.It just sits there. If I click Cancel or the 'x' in the upper right of the window, then Premiere stops responding and I have to shut it down using Windows Task Manager.
I have been trying to import an .aep file into Premiere Pro CC from After Effects CC. I import the file. The dynamic import window appears. It states connected to file along with the import files ... dialogue box. It stalls there.
I have been working off my network and have all the files collected on my machine.
My workaround to get me to deadline was to render my clips from AE and import them. Importing the .aep would make more sense from efficiency and workflow.
I've just tried to import a bunch if .avi files into Adobe Premiere (OSX) but they all failed due to missing codec. Is there a way around this? I've looked at some other threads but don't understand it all and i'm on a bit of a deadline.
I've currently installing it on my windows box as i know OSX doesn't play nice with avi anyway, is it likely to work?
The avi files have multiple streams -2 camera angles are recorded, when they are loaded both show and play in sync so i'm worrying about converting to another format.
I recently moved to CC in order to be able to work with Blackmagic's DNG raw files inside Premiere Pro. The move was successfull, I could work with such files. However, all of a sudden, I cannot import them into Premiere Pro. First, I cannot select the files and import them as a sequence, because the box will not activate.
Second, when I click on the folder containing the files, Premiere tries to import them, but then an error message appears saying "file format not supported".
I have seen other discussion threads about failures to import Blackmagic Cinema POCKET raw files, but I am working with files from the 2.5K Blackmagic Cinema Camera, which should give no trouble. In fact, as I said, I was perfectly able to work with them.
I have introduced no changes in my computer or the CC Suite, so this sudden error is all the more puzzling. The wav file will get imported, but none of the DNG files will.
I work with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and I am able to import the MP4 files from my Galaxy S3. The video files are very good quality. The problem is that the videos do play, but they are really choppy and freeze alot. Is there any way I can makes my MP4 video files run smoothly?
I've been doing some game recordings with Nvidia's new ShadowPlay. The recording says it is done in "1080p @ 60 FPS with H.264". The recorder outputs into a .mp4 file. When I watch the raw footage, it is all properly synced. However, when I import it into Premiere, it is always out of sync without fail. I know very very little about the program, and have been trying to learn as I go, but I can't seem to figure out how to re-sync it. For now I've been having to cut the sound into parts and adjust the rates manually to get it to sync back up, but this is insanely tedious.
I have tried a couple of things to try and get Premiere to see the AVCHD files. I have copied the all the files over from the Canon Xa10 individually and the "Private" folder and then tried to import. Still couldnt see them. It seems like its not a supported file type. PP should be able to do this shouldn't it?
I currently am running Premiere Pro CS5 with Windows 7 64Bit
I'm importing a 878,367KB .mov file into Premiere Pro - and while the full audio is there, the video screen is just green.When I put it into a sequence, the preview pane is black - and when I try to render it, it says "Error compiling movie. Unknown error."
I know in the past Premiere Pro wouldn't import a layered AI file, but is that still the case? I can get a layered PSD file to import layers as normal. When I try to import a layered AI file, I don't get the "Import Layered File" dialog as I do with the PSD files; I get a flattened image. Is this a setting I've overlooked or is this STILL not a feature?
I'm using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere Pro. I don't Import anything with it directly, i just use it to preview my timeline on a seperate monitor.
The issue I have is when I try to import a AVI-file to my project.before I had the Intensity Pro, Premiere would input the file as a Microsoft AVI and it worked perfectly. But now the exact same file is imported as a Blackmagic AVI-file. now I am experiencing green bars in my video and the color information is totally screwed up.
So my question is: can I deactivate or change the Import-settings of Premiere, without to remove the Card completely (turn PC off, remove card, turn back on...)?
I am working in a custom project. 30fps (progressive). My quicktimes begin at frame 0. When I look at the files in quicktime, the frames are there. When I import the files into premiere CC. the first 2 frames are not viewable and my imported clip begins at frame 2. Is this a settings thing?
