If you’re unfamiliar with EDL, don’t worry – I didn’t know what it was before this either. Then, we’ll use Python to convert that EDL file into an SRT file, a format that Premiere Pro can import as subtitles. Here’s what we’ll do, we’re going to use Premiere Pro’s EDL export feature to get a text file with all the necessary information about the cuts in our sequence.
This method allows you to quickly and easily add subtitles or captions to your video, without having to manually add them frame by frame. In this blog post, I’ll show you how I used Python and Premiere Pro’s EDL export feature to make it all happen. That’s when I had to turn to Python to get the job done. I tried everything I could think of, but nada. I was looking for something similar to After Effects’ expressions, but unfortunately, this feature is not present in Premiere Pro. I had my Premiere Pro sequence all set up with all the intros chopped up and ready to go, but when I wanted to add text displaying the name and date of the current clip, I couldn’t figure out how to do it in Premiere Pro. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard and I wouldn’t need to write any code, but as it turned out, I ended up having to resort to some Python to get the job done. Recently, I embarked on a weekend project to create a video compilation of all the intros from the tech show TechLinked (which you can check out here).
