By 'burning' in I meant rendering them as a text titles within the video. I know I can use the title feature to add titles manually, but some form of converting SRTs to text tiles according to timing would be helpful.

<p>This is not possible with Premiere without plugins and I don't know of any that would do this.
I recommend doing this outside of premiere like explained in this question: <a href="https://video.stackexchange.com/questions/5160/render-srt-subtitles-to-video">Render srt subtitles to video?</a></p>

<p>Use aegisub to create an srt file (believe me it is easier this way). Then simply import the srt file into premiere. It will create a title sequence that will act as a layer that you can render onto the video. There are of course other ways of doing this such as what Ryan posted.</p>

<p>I personally do not like Premiere's handling of subtitles as there is no way to batch format all the subs!</p>
