how to add subtitles in premiere pro

HeyBraza points at the 'transcribe sequence' button in the text panel - the step most people can't find.

premiere can write your subtitles for you from the audio, but the button is tucked inside the text panel and the workflow has two stages - transcribe, then turn the transcript into captions. here's the whole path.

or do it yourself

  1. 1open 'window' → 'text', then click the 'captions' (or 'transcript') tab.
  2. 2click 'transcribe sequence' and pick the spoken language, then let premiere generate the transcript.
  3. 3click 'create captions' to turn the transcript into caption blocks on the timeline.
  4. 4open the 'essential graphics' panel to set the font, size, and background of the captions.
  5. 5to bake the captions into the video, leave the caption track on when you export.

HeyBraza is a tiny on-screen guide that points at the right buttons and talks you through it, on windows and mac.

common questions

where is the auto-caption tool in premiere pro?

it's in the 'text' panel (window → text) under the captions/transcript tab - 'transcribe sequence' starts it.

do exported captions stay on the video?

yes if you 'burn in' the caption track; for a separate .srt file, export captions as a sidecar in export mode.
