“Raw” can also mean the original, unedited footage that was shot – the original clips from the camera.

Adding individual subtitles in PPro is certainly one method, however, it’s the difficult one – especially if future editing is needed.
If you have even a basic grasp of AE, you should easily be able to use ‘pt_importsubtitles’. The very minimal time you would spend learning the script’s use would be far less than hand editing each individual subtitle.
With ‘pt_importsubtitles’ you can import subtitles into After Effects using either the Encore Text Script or SubRip file format. These can easily be created with many subtitle editors, a very popular Mac editor is the free ‘Subs Factory’. These subtitle formats are simply text files with each line of subtitle text and the in/out timecodes where they are supposed to appear/disappear in your film/video. If you need to create an alternate language version, you would change the subtitles in the editor, then export a new SubRip format file to use with ‘pt_importsubtitles’.
Please look at the script’s demo video and read about it’s usage. You can find them here…

[Jona Taylor] ” I’ll want to or have to make changes to the font settings (and since there are no batch functions) it will mean making the changes one by one.”
Not if you use the ‘pt_ImportSubtitles’ script solution. Simply open the After Effects project back up, change the text characteristics in the plugin, and re-export. Text properties are changed on every single subtitle. You could literally have thousands of subtitles already laid out, and change their font with a few mouse clicks.

We’ve used the standalone version of EZTitles, which actually burns the subtitles into the video. They also have a Premiere plugin, but I’m not clear on how it works – if it burns in the text on encode, or creates individual title clips for each line. Guess you’ll have to wait to hear from them. The have free trial versions for you to test with.
Now, ‘pt_ImportSubtitles’ script actually reads your subtitle file(either SubRip or Encore formats) and creates individual text clips, placing them end to end in a comp in the exact lengths needed. The text attributes(font, color, size, etc.) are fully editable, and if you want to edit them directly in the comp, you can. Or, possibly easier would be to edit the subtitle files directly in any text editor, and simply rerun the script – recreating the entire comp.

Just realized that your current Word doc probably has timecode listed for the in/out point for each subtitle. SubRip uses milliseconds instead of timecode, so if you are manually converting your Word doc to a subtitle format instead of using a tool like Subtitle Workshop or Jubler, you might want to use the Adobe Encore format, which uses timecode.

Probably the easiest way is to use the products from EZTitles. If the price of their subtitling products puts you off, notice that they have a very affordable monthly rental plan as well.
Conversely, you can convert your Word document into a standard subtitle format such as SubRip(.srt), then use the ‘pt_ImportSubtitles’ script available at aescripts.com to import the .srt file into After Effects very easily, with only a very few mouse clicks.
Here is a description of the SubRip format…

There may be other methods, but these are the ones we’ve used for quite some time.
