You edit captions into a sequence in Premiere Pro in much the same way that you'd edit a graphic in. I'm gonna go back into Open Captions and click OK. Now this isn't relevant for Open Captions, which are onscreen all the time, but they are relevant for the CEA-608 and 708 captions because you can specify more than one stream for your media. In this instance, I'm gonna start with Open Captions because these give us a few more options, and I'll click OK.īefore I do that, I should mention you've also got the option to specify which stream you're using. If you're working on standard def, you're probably using,608 and HD, it'll be 708. You'll notice that we've got CEA-608, and CEA-708, Teletext, and Open Captions. You've got things like the Height, and Width, and Timebase and so on. The first New Captions dialog gives you settings for the caption that are based on your current sequence. So I'm gonna go to the New Item menu at the bottom of the Project panel and I'm going to choose Captions. I'm gonna start by creating an open caption. I have a sequence opened already and I've got a couple of stretches of voiceover. To follow along, copy the assets that accompany this tutorial to your creative cloud account. Let's look at the way captions work in Premiere Pro.
Open captions are always visible, unlike closed captions which viewers can enable and disable on their TV set. Our subtitle is completed! These kind of subtitles are perfect for social media videos including Facebook and Instagram, as videos now begin autoplaying without sound.Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to create open and closed captions with flexible options for font, color, size, and position.
However, I’ve found that this doesn’t look the best for videos made for social media channels. With films and motion pictures, they often use yellow font to fix the issue of readability.
So we have our subtitle, but it’s incredibly hard to see. Click anywhere on the screen to create a text box and create your subtitle.Lets input our first subtitle by clicking the T on the left toolbar. In the dialog box that pops up, name your title and hit OK.You can then drag the clip from the source monitor to the timeline on the bottom right to automatically create a sequence.To create a new sequence from that clip, double click on the clip and set your in and out points in the source monitor (top left screen).The file or files you import appear in the project window within Premiere.File > Import, and select the clip or clips you wish to import into your project.Input what you want the project title to be and where you want to save it and click OK.However, the method of overlaying subtitles on any video, regardless of the aspect ratio, stays the same. Fortunately, Instagram recently released an update where any and all aspect ratios can be used in the app.
In this tutorial, we will cover how to add subtitles for videos in Adobe Premiere Pro.
