Guideline: Export to Adobe Premiere Pro - wilsonlmh/fiveLoadSub GitHub Wiki

Concept

fiveLoadSub use Final Cut Pro XML as a interchange format to import to Premiere. The XML contain path to Premiere Title Template file(.prtl). Each subtitle block refer one .prtl file. And so you can custom your title style!

Step 1: Prepare .prtl

  1. In Adobe Premiere, create a title and do any styling you want.

  2. For center/right align text box, you MUST adjust the width to fill whole frame. Or you will result align issue.

    a) To do this, draw a text box without typing anything.

    b) Define the width of the box equal to your video. e.g. 1920 pixels

    c) Put it the the center of the frame by using Horizontal Center button.

  3. Fill in {fiveLoadSub.replacement[n]} in the text box. n refer to the sequence number of text box and start from 1. If a subtitle overlap on previous one, fiveLoadSub will put it to high number of text box. For most case you maybe only need one, so fill the box with {fiveLoadSub.replacement[1]} .

  4. Export the title by clicking Files->Export->Title after selected the title in project view.

Step 2: Import .prtl into fiveLoadSub

  1. Assume you've finished subtitling.

  2. Click Save Subtitle on the top ribbon.

  3. Click the XML for Adobe Premiere icon.

  4. Choose the .prtl file from the file input

  5. You may get width and height automatically if things all right. We don't recommend you to change the value. But you can if you really want to.

  6. Fill in frame rate also.

  7. Click OK and fiveLoadSub will generate the file for you.

  8. Now you can click Save as... to download the zip. It contain a XML file and serveal .prtl files.

Step 3: Import back to Adobe Premiere Pro

  1. Drag the xml or use File->Import to import the XML.

  2. You may need to relocate the .prtl files. They are in the sub folder near the XML.

  3. After located one of them, other will be automatically found.

  4. Now open the imported folder in project view and you got it!

  5. You SHOULD NOT edit this sequence/timeline directly. Instead, copy the titles out from timeline and paste to other sequence.

Notice:

  • Do use anamorphic. If your video/sequence is anamorphic, create title template without anamorphic first(e.g. create 1920x1080 title for 1440x1080 anamorphic). You will be able to copy/interchange anything without problem between anamorphic and non-anamorphic sequences in Premiere.

  • 24/25/30/50/60 fps is supported. 59.94 or 29.97 equal to 60 and 30. It's not quite import because you will be able to copy/interchange anything without problem between different frame rate sequences in Premiere.
