Add .srt subtitles

I'd like to add .srt subtitles to a .avi movie. Anyone know how to convert .srt to a Premiere Elements compatible format? .. or would Encore be a better way to go?

Steve,
Encore can work with true Sub-Titles (and also Closed Caption, which is similar, though different), and can use most common Sub-Title text formats.
For specific Encore questions, including Sub-Titles, the Encore Forum is a great place.
Good luck,
Hunt

Since you mention AS3 in the subject line, wouldn't it be more logical to ask the question in the AS3 forum?

Add fixed .SRT subtitles to a video?

Hi guys.
Is there a way i can add a subtitle .srt or any other format (fixed) to a movie using premiere elements 8?
I really need that feature!
thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Um using right now two softwares.
Cyberlink Power Director Ultra 8 and Premiere Elements 8.
Cyberlink Power Director Ultra 8 supports it, but doesnt support Italic or Bold the .srt file must be edited before use it.
I burned lots of mp4s with embedded subtitles on it.
Since i have problems using both due to shared files used by them, gonna uninstall APE8.
Sorry Adobe maybe next time!
Thanks.

Add iPod subtitles to a mp4 video?

I have some mp4 format movies on my PC with *.srt subtitles for them, so i want these videos on my iPod with these subtitles. I know how to merge the subtitles to the video, but I want to know how to add subtitles to a video that can be switched on or off at the time video plays on the iPod. Do any one know how to do it?

It haves the option to add subtitles, but then won't work, this is very common
And the standard edition of mediacoder doesn't create compatible videos with ipod, but mediacoder ipodtouch/iphone edition does it
I read something about subtitles must be converted in "line-21" format, but nobody knows more about it.
other way is to force subtitles into the video(embed them within the encoded video). Anybody knows how to do it?

How to create SRT subtitle files?

Hi. I created some movies in iMovie and published them to iTunes, where they appear as "QuickTime movie files". I want to add subtitles to these movies, and to some m4v movies. I know how to use iSubtitle to add subtitles to a movie, but that is when I already have an SRT subtitles file. I do not know how to create an SRT subtitle file from scratch. Does anyone know what product / editor to use to create SRT files? Thank you

I found out the Max TextEdit software can be used for this ...

Multi-line .srt subtitle support?

I've got a foreign language film .m4v with soft-embedded .srt subtitles. (I used Subler to add the .srt track) In subtitle editors like Jubler, the subtitles are spanned across two lines. These display as two lines of dialogue in Quicktime in 10.6.2, but on my AppleTV (v 3.0.2) they display as one line, so the text ends up getting truncated with "..." on the end.
So for example:
In QT:
A brave man sheds blood
before he sheds tears.
In ATV:
A brave man sheds blood before he sheds ...
Am I using the wrong character to do a "newline"?

Anyone? Nobody else has used multi-line subtitle tracks?
Should I be submitting this to Apple Bugs?

<Edited by Moderator>

Add arabic subtitles with Premiere cs5

Hi to all, I need to add arabic subtitles to a video, but I have problems when I copy and paste the text from a PDF file. When I copy each sentence, what it is finally pasted is different, so I do not know what to do.
Can someone help me please? Do I need additional software or pluggins?
Thanks

You've posted in the Premiere Elements forum. PRE cannot add true subtitles to a project. The text you add will always be on show.
If it is Premiere Pro you should repost your problem in this forum: Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5

How do you add english subtitles in iMovie '08?

In iMovie, I want to add english subtitles, however I have no idea how to do it. Can you help me in details? and i in a hurry.......

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

Adding SRT subtitles to FCPX or FCP7 timelines

I made an App called Final SRT for importing SRT subtitle to Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Pro 7. Many people had been asking for this for a long time. You can buy it from Mac App Store.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
<Edited by Host>

Actually, I've been playing around with the new Closed Caption Importer component
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ClosedCaptionImporter/index.html
I like the look of it and it just needs to be fleshed out to be more user friendly for the creation of captions, but it's following a standard that allows the captions to be inside the movie file. (Some of the tools I've found convert .scc to .srt.. with QuickTime able to read the .scc, it should make it easier)

How can I convert video with srt subtitles?

If I have an avi plus an .srt subtitles file, how can I convert this to play on the iPad?
If, on my iMac, I use Quicktime, I can save the avi as .mov with hard subs. But when I convert this .mov to mp4, the subtitles disappear.

Why go to all the trouble of converting? Why not just download an app that can play .avi files with subtitle support?

Convert .srt subtitles

How do I convert a .srt subtitle file to import into DVDSP4? I'm new to using subtitles and have no idea how they work. All I know is I have the movie imported fine, but I was given subtitles as a .srt file. What do I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all

After some research, I found a nice program that will import the srt file (TitleLAB). I then export it for DVD Studio Pro. However, when I go to import it to my project, DVD SP says
"No corresponding subtitles found.
The video asset timecode may not correspond with the timecode specified for the subtitles in the import file or the file is invalid."
This doesn't make sense to me. What can I do, or what am I doing wrong?
