Caption tool disrespects "multiline/single line" and "word frequency" settings
- From the Transcript tab in the Text panel, click the hamburger menu and choose Create Captions.
- In the Create Captions dialog, click the blue arrow to expand "Captioning Preferences"
- Slide the "Minimum length in characters" and "Minimum duration in seconds" sliders all the way to the left
- Under "Lines," choose "Single"
Expected:
The intent is to have a single-word caption for each word spoken. No captions should be on multiple lines. No captions should contain more than one word.
Actual:
Captions frequently (and randomly?) occupy multiple lines, despite me explicitly telling PPro i want single lines.
Captions frequently (and randomly?) contain more than one word, despite me dragging those sliders all the way to the left.
i read this response to someone else having this problem:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/captions/m-p/13311192
... but the size of the text box is not the issue. Premiere Pro will frequently put two words in a single caption, and will frequently multiple-word captions on multiple lines. If i go in and delete the line break, the words can clearly fit on a single line. But there shouldn't even BE multiple words in a caption to begin with, because i have the sliders pulled all the way to the left, and the software should be smart enough to know that a SPACE character indicates a separate word.
The net result is that instead of "set it and forget it," i have to spend a lot of time combing through my entire video to make numerous annoying little tweaks to the captions to break up multiple words and multiple lines. i shouldn't have to.
