Sounds pretty cool.
Of course, the $99 per year subscription to Videoblocks that I saw as an ad before getting to this forum today would be a good choice too. I signed up over a year ago just for the music and the After Effects templates.
But I will sign up from home. (Can’t access Facebook and many other sites on my corporate network – the IT guys are too smart for that!)

Yes. If I understand you correctly.
After you select them both, just right-click and select “Group”.

Hmmm. Interesting.
The best I can come up with is to experiment with your own, and perhaps a few other voices, using a simple pitch change. You could create clips that sound the way you want them, and use those as a base track for the entire “song”. You could take your time today and get it sounding pretty decent.
Then after you quickly cut it all together tomorrow, you copy and then “Paste Attributes” for each audio portion of the clip. Then simply mute the base track, or solo the shifted track and export the sequence.
The “PitchShifter” effect can be keyframed, so each individual phrase can be totally unique.
Heck, you could even subtitle it a bit like a singalong. Those titles would be ready to go and already on the timeline matched up to your voice. So if when you recorded the people on the red carpet, you got close enough to your own timing, a simple condense or stretch to fit will not hurt because you were going to pitch shift it anyway!
Just practice with someone saying what you want them to say, because since you know the lines, you might read it too fast.
Make sense? You have today. Make good use of it, and good luck.

You should be able to just drop the 720X480 footage without a problem, as you have seen. The problem comes in when you look at the footage and realize it is not only much smaller than the other footage, but the wrong shape.
It depends on the footage, of course, and the nature of the video you want to produce, but perhaps putting the smaller footage over a stretched out, scaled up, extremely blurry version of the same footage, the way that TV stations often do, might work out for you.
Or, put them in as Picture in Picture over some other background.
Scaling them up large enough to fit side to side, cutting off the top and the bottom, is generally a last resort.
My suggestion is to use creative license and make it look like you shot it that way on purpose, if you can.

You can do it through the Premiere Pro Title Designer, or if you have lots and lots of subtitles to do and you already have the text typed out, take a look at this tutorial on how to use Adobe InDesign to help you:

You can speed it up in a separate sequence, and then nest that sequence in another, ramp it up again, and keep doing that until you get to where you want to be.

Or use the Quicktime Animation codec.
You have a few choices.
I am not on my editing PC, but when you export the Cineform AVI are you selecting 32bit to get the Alpha channel?
8 for R
8 for G
8 for B

Have you tried holding down the Shift and Alt keys while starting Premiere Pro? Generally that is the first thing to try when Premiere Pro goes a little whacky.
Also, is there a reason you are not on the latest release?

Try doing this in a brand new project. If it works, import the old project into the new one and see if that helps.

I know that this is a really old thread, but I just finished creating a solution for this problem and if someone is searching the forums for an answer….
I have a Microsoft Word macro that allows you to open a file, type or paste in all of the text (one line per title) and then automatically make copies of an exported title. Up to 9999 of them.
You could use MS Excel to put in the dates really fast, paste it into the MS Word document, and have 365 titles in a few minutes.
It can be used for subtitles, or for lower thirds for a graduation ceremony – anything with more than a few titles.
Just import the the titles back in to Premiere Pro and drag/drop or automate to sequence.
I have always thought it was possible and finally got the help I needed to get it done.
Just send me an e-mail from my web site if you want to beta test it. I need a few testers before I release it into the wild just in case I missed something.
If you are worried about running a macro, the text is in rather plain, somewhat readable text in the Visual Basic for Applications editor that is part of MS Word. You can read through it before running it. But really, I have been around these forums for many years (just not much lately). I wouldn’t mess with you.
