Descriptive Audio captions

As of 2026, State mandates are now requiring Descriptive Audio (DA) captioning for cable television and YouTube videos. DA is when sound effects are also transcribed: a car horn showing the word "beep" for example. This issue is now a high priority for government television stations and non-profits, and includes online video content as well. Currently there is no option beside text captioning in Premiere.
