Adding subtitles to Adobe Premiere Pro with .srt file ready
Hello,
I have a project in Adobe Premiere Pro in DPX format which I’m exporting to Vimeo 1080p video. How do I go about adding subtitles to this? I had created subtitles in .srt format. I’m unable to drag this to a layer above the DPX layer in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019. Is this even possible? How do I go about it? I tried importing the .srt into premiere. It shows up in the bottom left corner but I can’t figure out how to proceed beyond that. I tried exporting it as ‘Burn to movie’ but this resulted in the captions showing up against a black background.
Is there any workaround?
If I export to Vimeo 1080p and then bring back the ouput file, create a project, drag the srt file as a layer and re-export, will it result in loss of quality?
I’ll appreciate some guidance. Thank you.

You don’t need to do anything in PPro unless you want to burn in the subtitles – just upload the .srt to Vimeo.
If you need burned in: import SRT, select the Caption file in the browser and make your settings (including background) there. You can do it for single titles, a selection or all at once.

That doesn’t help. I can place the .srt file above an .mp4 file but not above this DPX sequence. I want to burn the titles to the video. What could be wrong?
