1. Import an ALE (Avid Log Exchange) file in Adobe Premiere Pro

Go to File > "Import" and select the ALE file. You may need to relink the media files.

2. Export the SRT subtitle file from Adobe Premiere Pro

Open the sequence in Premiere Pro and go to File > Export > "Captions". Choose "SubRip Subtitle Format (.srt)" from the export window.

3. Use the "Verktøy og omformer for undertekster" to convert the SRT subtitle file into a Final Cut 7 XML marker file

Open the free Verktøy og omformer for undertekster, select "SRT" and set "convert" to "Adobe Premiere Pro > Sequence (.xml)". Generate and download the file. If you have problems converting the file, you can contact the free support.

4. Import the Final Cut 7 XML marker file into Adobe Premiere Pro

To import timeline markers, go to "File -> Import" and select the XML file.

If you want to copy these markers into the existing sequence, use the adjustment layer or any other video as placeholder. Then copy the clip and switch to your existing sequence. Move the cursor to the location, where the adjusmtent layer or first marker appeared in the other sequence. Then past it. It will only copy the timeline markers if under setting (in the Markers menu) the option "Copy Paste Includes Sequence Markers" is active.

5. Done
