subtitles preferred format for encore (and premiere)

[Ginger Gentile]

After a lot of internet seraching, I found a way to embed subtitles on in premiere pro using a .txt document that creates subtitles in encore. (Why adobe doesn´t include this, I don´t know)

download the script. It costs about $25, but it is worth saving the time to redo the subs manually if you have a long movie.
Basically, this is an After Effects script. It allows you to import a .txt subtitle list with timecodes into AE and it generates automatically (in about 20 seconds) one long video in alpha with your subs, where they should be. you can use key frames to make changes in AE(a bit time consuming) or you can export with alpha channel into premiere OR use dynamic link. If you don´t need to make any sincro changes you can also import a video and export from AE.
If anyone from Adobe reads this, please include this script in future updates. It is not a crazy idea to want to burn subtitles into a movie: many festivals want to receive movies this way.
