Premiere will export a .srt file and this is how you convert it to .stl so AVID will import it correctly

Go to this website	https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/online
Choose >Subtitle>Open
Browse for your .srt that you want to convert
Select the .srt file and click >Open
your captions will load but notice if you have music notes and parenthesis we have to make sure those work in the conversion to .stl
Next choose Save/download
Choose EBU STL Encoding UTF-8 with BOM Then choose Download
You will get a file that looks like this
Rename the file taking off the extensions so it only has one .stl extension
