Adding Automatic Subtitles in Adobe Premiere Pro

Education

Introduction

Adobe Premiere Pro has recently introduced an exciting feature that allows users to automatically generate subtitles for their videos. This feature can save a great deal of time and effort, particularly for content creators. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding automatic subtitles to your audio and video clips within Premiere Pro.

Steps to Generate Automatic Subtitles

1. Transcribe Your Sequence

To get started, navigate to the Captions option in the top menu.

  1. Click on Transcribe Sequence.
  2. You will see default settings that you can use. It is worth noting that there is an option to caption only audio clips with the dialog tag and a drop-down menu to limit captioning to specific audio tracks.
  3. Once you are ready, click Transcribe. Keep in mind that this process may take some time as it generates the transcription from the internet.

2. Create Captions

Once the transcription is complete:

  1. Click on Create Captions to add the subtitles to your timeline.
  2. You can stick with the default settings unless you have specific adjustments in mind.
  3. After clicking Create, the subtitles will be perfectly added to your video track.

3. Edit Captions

To modify the subtitles:

  • Simply double-click on any caption in the timeline to edit the text. This is useful if the transcription was inaccurate or if you want to adjust the text presentation.

4. Format Your Subtitles

To change the appearance of your subtitles:

  • Select all the subtitle clips in the timeline, which will automatically display the Essential Graphics panel.
  • Here, you can format the text to your liking. For a quick example, we can change the font in this area.

5. Exporting Your Subtitles

When you are satisfied with your subtitles, you have a couple of options for exporting:

  1. Go back to the text panel and click on the ellipsis (three dots) to export your subtitles as a .srt file.
  2. Alternatively, you can export your video normally. In the export window, navigate to the Captions tab, where you can choose to either burn the captions into the video or create a sidecar file for the subtitles.

In summary, this new feature makes adding subtitles to your videos much more streamlined and efficient. Thank you for reading, and happy editing!
