Once you're happy with your transcript, you can turn it into captions on your timeline.

Before you begin

Import your media by enabling Automatic transcription under Import settings. Select Window > Workspaces > Captions and Graphics. Check your transcripts and make corrections as required in the Transcript tab of the Text panel.

  1.  Select Create Captions

The Create Captions dialog box presents options for arranging captions on the timeline.

Options to create captions
Use these options to customize the way you want captions to appear in the video.

  • Caption preset: Choose amongst the given options or opt for Subtitle Default which is suitable for most use cases.
  • Format: Select the type of caption format you want for your video.
  • Stream: You can specify the broadcast streams for some caption formats (such as Teletext).
  • Style: You can select from your saved caption styles.
  • Length, duration, and gap between captions: You can set the length of characters, fix the duration for each line of caption text, and specify gaps between captions.
  • Lines: You can choose to keep your caption in a single line or wrap it into two lines.
  1. Select Create, and Premiere Pro will create and add the captions aligned with the video's dialogs.

Premiere Pro will create captions on your timeline with the transcribed text. You can continue to edit the captions, find and replace text, and navigate to specific portions of your video by selecting the words in the Captions tab or directly through your Program Monitor.
