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!

Until Adobe builds this in, there's a way to get it without leaving Premiere. Subkick Caption is a plugin we make, so I'm biased.

It runs in a panel inside Premiere, with no After Effects needed: AI transcription with word-level timing, animated presets you can customize down to each word, karaoke-style active word highlighting, and captions placed on your timeline in one click. So you can finish a reel's captions without exporting to another app. It's free to try on your first 1,000 words.

Yes. Yes. Yes, and Yes!!!… We should not have to pay for a 3rd Party extension to do this, or wrestle with the terrible Adobe Express interface to correct timing etc. Please make this happen before I decide to start using Resolve.

Yes captions definitely needs an overhaul. Also needs API, so that third-party programmers can also integrate and enhance the software.

Long overdue! Adobe, please make this happen. You’ve devoted the time to develop it for Adobe Express; it needs to migrate to Premiere Pro.

This is my biggest workflow pain right now too. I edit everything in Premiere, then still end up exporting to CapCut just for the captions — which feels wrong when you think about how much of short-form content lives or dies by caption styling.

Premiere's auto-transcription is genuinely good, but the animation presets feel years behind. CapCut and Descript understood that captions aren't just subtitles anymore, they're part of the design. Most creators I know would drop the extra apps tomorrow if Premiere had proper animated caption styles built in.

With all the AI features Adobe has been adding lately, I'm hopeful this is coming sooner rather than later. +1 from me.
