Perhaps I don’t know how to use sequences. If I drag the sequence onto the timeline it is added as a video file across the entire video length. If I just double click on the sequence it seems to open a separate timeline and shows all the individual PNG files and lengths. How do I just get that subset of entries on the timeline next to the original video. Also the times are way off. Premiere imports the file as 23.00 FPS even though it is labeled in the XML file as 23.976 FPS. A PNG that is supposed to start at 1:19:14:00 or whatever comes in at 01:22:30:16.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

By the way, here is what I’m doing if you can let me know what I’m supposed to be doing would be great:

1. Import SUP or ASS into SubTitle Edit
2. Click File > Export > Final Cut Pro + image
3. Image format: PNG
4. Changed NTSC/PAL from PAL to NTSC
5. Clicked Export all Lines
6. Opened Premiere Pro and loaded project
7. Clicked File > Import > selected xml file.
8. Imported this time into Project (Upgraded to 2015 from 2014)

I now have a bunch of Subtitle PNG files in the project and also some stereo video in 23.00 FPS of the full length in the project as well. Nothing on the actual timeline. Now what?

Thanks.

Going to try this again, however when exporting is it normal that the font size and font itself are greyed out and can’t be set?

got it to import by separately exporting a FCP xml file and importing it into Premiere. that said looks like it just put in a bunch on 3 second clips i have to manually place for the subs duration.

Note I figured it out however when I import the XML file into the project it just gives me a generic error and fails.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I’m doing. I have an a_s_s extension subtitle and create a AVISynth file like:

MaskSub(“Subtitles_31_English.ass” , 1920, 1080, 23.976, 152054)
FlipVertical()

Then using Lagarith set to RGBA and export to AVI.

What you suggested sounds totally viable. Use Subtitle Edit to create my original a_s_s files. I’m going to try and duplicate how to do this however is there anywhere I can see where to do this?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah that plugin is a beast but works well. That said, if I didn’t have that plugin added, and it takes a while to click around the timeline. Causing a lot of time to refresh the image displayed, would a better graphic card help with this or is it just a CPU/Memory thing?

Thanks.

I’m just playing it thru a streaming media system to my xbox thru the network so don’t think there will be any issues. I’m OK with changing it, just how do I get the audio to sync up as well? Should I assume since the audio is just stereo and I can load it into premiere that exporting the entire clip with the audio everything should be adjusted appropriately?

If I set it to 23.976 the video ends up being a minute plus different in length so then the audio is naturally off.

Thanks for the reply. When I do that it already says “Use Frame rate from File 24.3800”. Which still isn’t right but on export they just have a pulldown and have to select one from the list.
