Edited 3/15/24.

See this Beta announcement for developments on caption/text styles:

Original post:

Currently, to share a Caption Track Style, it must be saved to disk from the Project Panel, then imported to a new project. Several users are asking for an easier way to share across projects and with their team members. In the Beta forum, staff indicated in Dec 2020 that "loading from libraries" was part of future plans. This is needed.

    I thought this was automatic. How would a subtitle style NOT be able to be saved?

    This is a no-brianer. Adobe CC libraries need to recognize Adobe's file types like .prcaptionspreset and .prtextstyle files. Or at least allow .zip files so a set of style files can be shared via the branding library. This is critical for maintaining brand alignment across content creators.

    It makes absolutely no sense that this isn't available - I've been going nuts trying to figure out why I couldn't find the style I had defined.

    @1907153, yes this should be fixed by design by Adobe!

    @Theo Kooijmans - this method does not work for me. I put the file in the location you specified, but when creating captions in a new project no style was available in the drop-down menu of the 'create captions' dialog.

    Best way is I think is to save to C:\Users\username\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\22.0\Profile-username\Styles
    That's easy to copy for different users and it should always available with a new project.

    @168669 esperance - The ability to save caption styles in the CC Library and then access them from the Library window within Premiere has *not* been implemented yet. The best workflow currently as mentioned in the original change request from Stanley Jones: from Premiere, save the caption style to disk, and then import that style into subsequent projects to use them.

    michael esperance, Yes, I think so? As of version 22.0.0 build 169, when I create a caption style, the style shows up as a file in one of my bins. If I right click I have the option to "Export Text Styles..." which seems to save the file as a Adobe Premiere Pro Text Style format, which I assume I could then import into a new project.

    Has this been implemented yet?

    I don't know why this isn't a default setting. Why the heck do I need to recreate a new style every project. We have brand guidelines and I need it synced to our CC library.

    Think your stuff through, adobe staff.

    This would be very useful. We have corporate defined style guides that we have to adhere to and I have to recreate this style in every project I caption. It would easier if this could be saved. I'm sure it would be a great quality of life improvement to many users.
