Overview of the workspace
The Captions and Graphics workspace consists of the Text panel, including the Transcript and Captions tabs.
You can auto-transcribe your video in the Transcript tab and then generate your captions, and edit them in the Captions tab and the Program Monitor.
Captions have their own track on the Timeline panel. You can stylize your captions with the design tools in the Essential Graphics panel.

The easiest and fastest way to create captions is to start with a transcript of your video. While importing your media, you can enable Automatic transcription under Import settings. To further access the transcription settings, do the following:
-
-
Select Window > Workspaces > Captions and Graphics.
-
In the Project panel, double-click the clips you want to transcribe.
-
Select Transcribe in the Text panel.
Edit transcripts within Premiere Pro
-
After transcribing the source clip using the Text panel, double-click the text you want to correct.
-
Make the required corrections in the source text.
-
Click away from the Text panel to save your changes.
Edit speaker names in your transcription
-
In the source transcript, select the ... icon next to the speaker.
-
Select Edit speaker name.
-
In the Edit speakers dialog box, add the name of the speakers to the transcript.
Find and replace text in your transcription
-
Type in the term in the Search text field and all the instances will be highlighted in the transcription.
-
Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate through all instances of the search term.
-
Select the Replace icon and type in a replacement text.
-
To replace only a selected instance of the search term, select Replace. To replace all instances of the search term, select Replace All.
Other transcription options
You have other options to work with transcripts. Click the ... icon in the Transcript tab of the Text panel.
- Re-transcribe sequence: Use this option to change your edit.
- Export: Use this option to create a .prtranscript file, a .txt file, or a CSV file.
- Import: Use this option in collaborative workflows where you must import a static or corrected transcript from another user.
- Show speakers: Use this option to display speaker names in the transcript.
- Show untranscribed sources: Use this option to show scenes that still need to be transcribed.

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

- 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.
Stylize your captions
After adding the captions, you can make updates to the caption design through the Essential Graphics panel.
Do more with captions
Captions have their own track on the Timeline, where you can make small edits to caption items. Additionally, you can modify the display of the caption track and export captions as .txt. or a .SRT file.
