Request for Enhanced Animated Caption Options and AI Features in Premiere Pro

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.|

I've been a dedicated user of Premiere Pro for quite some time and love the robust features it offers for video editing. However, I've noticed that other platforms, such as CapCut, Descript, and Opus, provide more advanced options for animated captions and AI-driven features.

Given the increasing demand for these functionalities, I find it somewhat inefficient to edit a reel in Premiere Pro and then export it to another program to finalize the captions. Does anyone know if there are plans to integrate more animated caption options and additional AI-driven tools directly within Premiere Pro in the near future?

Thank you for your insights!

I cannot afford to purchase any more add-ons to add to Premiere Pro, I already spend a ton of money each month on Adobe CC.

 

Thanks for the link, though.  If I get desperate, then I may have to take you up on the 14-day trial.

I agree. Premiere is dropping the ball. There are so many drag and drop features in Capcut that we are in the unfortunate position of round tripping between the 2 apps which sucks. Capcut isn't really a "professional" editor for maintaining larege projects and for various other reasons.  But Premiere is quickly becoming a slow, dinasour.  Same goes for After Effects. I"ve been using it for like 20 years. It's amazing... but do I want to spend hours keyframing? No. Just gimme fast and dirty effects I can drop in my videos.

And another update....

 

See this thread for @Francis-Crossman17221443's response to an Idea regarding single word captions, and his acknowledgement there that they have "heard that request [for robust animated captions] loud and clear."

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-ideas/caption-tool-disrespects-quot-multiline-single-line-quot-and-quot-word-frequency-quot-settings/idc-p/15282949#M20506

 

There have been several related discussion/Ideas in the last week...

 

The current thread is still the Idea with the  most upvotes for animated captions, but 14 is clearly an underestimate of the interest. Upvote the thread in link in this post, as the single word caption is part of the process to the type of animated captions being requested.

Update: I reviewed the requests in my table, and realized I forgot an important one:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-ideas/captions-change-colors-word-by-word-automatic-same-that-captions-ai-app/idi-p/13778792

 

It has 4 votes. This request still has the most votes with 10. The total on all requests listed is 47, but many must be votes from the same users. None of the requests have a status nor programming staff acknowledgement.

 

I comment in the other thread on 2 plug-ins. Captioneer, that @_nicdean mentions here, and SubMachine, that @Kevin-Monahan mentions there.

I'm posting an update here because this is the "animated captions" idea that has the most upvotes - 7! In just a few minutes, I found the 10 Ideas/feature requests in the table below. None have any staff response, but since the new caption workflow was introduced in PR 2021, they've added text-based editing, conversion of subtitles to graphics text, style browser, and more on the way. I have to think this is on their radar. But it is competing with many other enhancements - just in the text/caption area.

 

The other Idea I would single out emphasizes the use of mogrts with enhancements for styling individual words/letters.

@Editing Ninja  I agree. I built an extension for this: Captioneer

You can edit captions in the default Text panel and then animate your captions with .mogrts. This keeps the workflow entirely in Premiere Pro. Comes with 10 presets or you can DIY with custom .mogrts
