  • Importing titles from text file

    Posted by Patrick Swanson on February 28, 2016 at 9:13 pm

    Hi everyone,

    I am currently looking for a solution to the following problem:
    Is there any tool/script/software/workflow, that will let me import text into Premiere Pro CC and automatically generate titles from it? The way I envision it working is to simply input a txt-file (or copy-paste the text into an editor window), and then automatically generate, say, 30 titles via the Premiere Pro titling tool. Line breaks would mark the titles, like this:

    Hello world (title1)

    Thank you for your attention. (title2)

    So nice to have you with us today. (title3)

    and so on. Ideally, the titles would be generated according to an existing Premiere Pro title template. Is there any solution you can think of for this? I am working on titles for videos practically every day and copy-pasting text from a Word document is getting old fast. So I am open to any suggestions – and also willing to pay for them, if need be.

    Best and thank you so much,
    Patrick

    The best way I know is to import the .docx into an InDesign template with character/paragraph styles already active. Then you export the InDesign file as individual .pngs.

    I would suggest PS.
    You can automate this and the titles are always editable.
