Transcribe video

Last updated on Dec 14, 2023

The easiest and fastest way to create captions is to enable automatic transcription.

While importing media, enable Automatic transcription under Import settings.

If you already have a workflow that uses a third-party transcription service, you can bring in that file.

Import the SRT file into your Premiere Pro project just like any piece of media.
Drag the SRT from the Project panel into your sequence and drop it anywhere in the sequence.

Premiere Pro creates a new caption track, and the captions are placed on the track.

If you have short sequences, you can choose to manually transcribe sequences.

Open the Captions and Graphics workspace and select Create new caption track in the Text panel.
In the New Caption Track dialog that opens, you can choose your caption track format and style.
Place the playhead at the beginning of your first piece of dialog.
Click the + icon in the Text panel to add a blank caption or press Ctrl + Alt + C (Windows) or Option + Command + C.
Double-click New Caption in the Text panel or the Program Monitor to start editing the caption and type in the caption text.
Trim the end of the caption in the timeline to align with the end of the spoken dialog. Continue adding captions in the same way to the rest of the audio in the sequence.
