Universal SRT File Compatibility

While designed to work seamlessly with Digital Anarchy’s Transcriptive, the After Effects SRT Importer boasts broad compatibility, accepting any standard SRT file. This means you’re not restricted to a single transcription source. Whether your SRT file originates from Transcriptive, YouTube’s auto-captions, MacCaption, various artificial intelligence transcription services, or even professional human transcription, this After Effects script will handle it with ease, providing a versatile solution for bringing subtitles into your motion graphics workflow.

Streamlined Subtitle Integration for Premiere Pro

The After Effects SRT Importer offers an efficient pathway for incorporating subtitles or captions into After Effects projects, ultimately simplifying their integration into Premiere Pro. In today’s video landscape, especially for social media platforms where silent viewing is prevalent on sites like YouTube and Facebook, subtitles are not just a nicety but a necessity. Moreover, with FCC regulations emphasizing accessibility through online video captioning, the ability to easily add subtitles to After Effects graphics packages for use in Premiere Pro becomes crucial. This importer bridges that gap effortlessly.

Simple Operation and Flexible Customization

Using the SRT Importer is a straightforward process. Once you have your SRT file, regardless of its source, you simply open the script within After Effects. The intuitive interface allows you to adjust a few optional settings before selecting your SRT file. The script then automatically generates a fully populated text layer containing all your subtitles. This text layer is fully customizable within After Effects, allowing you to adjust fonts, sizes, colors, and add any desired background graphics. Finally, you can seamlessly transfer your subtitled After Effects project into Premiere Pro via Dynamic Link or as a convenient Motion Graphics Template, ready to enhance your video editing projects.
