I have an intro Id like to use for my movies. There is some txt Id like to replace with my own, is this even possible or would this have to be done frame by frame?
 
We're going to need more information. If you have Premiere with Titling capability, you can overlay your video with titles that contains the text you desire. But not knowing what version of Premiere you have, or what exactly you are trying to do, it's a bit difficult to offer much more insight.
 
I think he wants to replae text that is already in a video. Which is not possible to do in Premiere. He would have to frame by frame, alter to take out the text then add his own.
 
Thanks WizyWyg, its like a THX intro but the writing on there has got to go to match my website.

Does virtual dub handle the frame by frame export and import?
 
You can do that with Adobe Image Ready, or in Premier, File > Export > Frame for each frame of the movie file.

 
Cool thanks, I had used VirtualDub which worked good. Does premiere allow me to import this scene to replace the current one I want to cut out?
 
This is what I've done in the past, I don't know if it's applicable to your project. I had a video with text in which the background was stationary, and the text changed throughout a period of frames. I exported a single frame with the background and text, then used another program to insert the text I wanted over the undesired text on that frame. This works well if your background is simple. For more complicated backgrounds, you will have to be a bit more creative.

I created a series of stills with different text overlays that I sequenced into Premiere. A quick and dirty is to put the original video on 1B track, and your imported stills on video track 1A. Since 1A has precedence, it saves time of segmenting the original video clip. I arranged the stills according to my desired timeline, and the resulting video had the effect I wanted.

A bit tedious, there may be more efficient ways.
