How to convert SRT to Premiere JSON
Convert SRT subtitles into Premiere Pro static transcript JSON with word-level timing. CutConvert turns each subtitle cue into the transcript records Premiere imports, so your subtitles become editable text in Premiere Pro's Text panel. If you searched for an SRT to prtranscript converter, this is the working route — Premiere imports external transcripts as this JSON, not as the binary .prtranscript.

SRT to Premiere JSON FAQ
Why can't Premiere Pro just import my SRT as a transcript?
Premiere's text-based editing and caption tools read a specific static transcript JSON, not SRT. This converter maps every SRT cue into those transcript records so the file imports as an editable transcript in the Text panel.
Is the subtitle timing preserved?
Yes. Each cue is converted to transcript JSON with word-level timing preserved, so your subtitles become editable, searchable text in Premiere with the timing intact.
What can I do with the transcript once it is in Premiere?
Transcript import, search, and text-based editing — the subtitles become editable text in the Text panel, so you can cut by transcript instead of scrubbing the timeline.
Can I convert an SRT to a .prtranscript file?
Not to the binary .prtranscript itself — Premiere doesn't import that format for external transcripts, so a converter producing one would be a dead end. The supported route is exactly what this page produces: static transcript JSON, loaded via Import Static Transcript in the Text panel. Functionally, this is the SRT to prtranscript conversion.
Can I convert a Premiere transcript back into SRT?
Yes — the Premiere transcript to SRT converter at /prtranscript/srt reads a .prtranscript (static transcript JSON) and writes clean, timed SRT subtitles.
How much does it cost?
Free to start. Guests convert up to 3 files per batch at up to 1 MB each; a free account raises that to 5 files and 30 conversions a month, and paid plans support 20 MB files and larger batches.
