Hi, I am trying to create caption in Bahasa Indonesia for a Video. But Premiere Pro auto caption allows only few languages such as English, Mandarin, Spanish, German, French and Japanese, etc.

It will be helpful if Bahasa Indonesia is available for this feature because my video editing project is in Bahasa Indonesia.

    Yeah, Indonesian support would definitely make things easier for projects like this. Until then, you can use this tool to create the text and captions in different styles.

    I agree this would be a valuable addition. Bahasa Indonesia is widely used, and native support for auto captions would save editors a lot of time compared to generating captions in another language and correcting them manually. Hopefully Adobe expands its language support in a future update.

    For those looking for a professional workflow for Bahasa Indonesia right now: I’ve created a tool that bridges the gap between 3rd party transcription services and Premiere Pro.

    With the V1.1 release today, the tool now supports Sonix.ai, ElevenLabs, Open AI Whisper, Google Chirp and AssemblyAI JSON files. It converts them into Premiere-ready files so you can use the Text-Based Editing features immediately. It’s a paid tool, but it's currently the fastest way to get accurate Indonesian transcripts into your timeline.

    This looks useful for anyone working with Indonesian-language transcripts in Premiere Pro. Having support for multiple transcription services in one workflow should save a lot of manual conversion work. I’ve also come across some useful tools for converting and working with different text formats, which may be helpful for editors looking to simplify their workflow.

    Thanks for your comment!

    I wanted to add that since this original post, Transcript Converter has received many major updates and improvements. Today, it remains the only tool that enables true Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro for natively unsupported languages.

    This capability is especially critical right now. All of the new AI-based panels and the new AI Assistant in the Premiere Pro Beta rely entirely on internal transcriptions to perform automated tasks. By using Transcript Converter to get your unsupported language into Premiere's native transcription engine, you unlock the ability to use these powerful new AI features to:

    • Generate rough cuts automatically
    • Remove filler words, pauses, and repetitions
    • Automatically create YouTube chapters and markers

    If you're working with unsupported languages, bridging this gap is the only way to fully leverage the latest AI workflows that Premiere Pro has to offer!

    It's been years since the auto transcription feature appeared in premiere pro and for years adobe premiere pro users from Indonesia and Malaysia have asked adobe to add Indonesian & Malaysian language features but the adobe team has never paid attention. Video editing applications on mobile phones such as Capcut & filmora can only include the Indonesian & Malaysian auto caption feature. Imagine a new team of software developers can make an effort where their software is free and if paid the price is much cheaper than adobe premiere pro. come on adobe team that simple feature can't be entered, we pay a lot of money, how come such trivial things you can't do.

    I have been eagerly anticipating the addition of a Speech-to-Text feature in Bahasa Indonesia since Premiere Pro 2021. However, it seems this feature has yet to be introduced.

     

    Does Premiere Pro have any plans to incorporate this functionality? With the recent Creative Cloud discount offered in Indonesia, I’ve noticed many of my peers returning to Premiere Pro as their primary editing software. I believe that adding a Speech-to-Text feature in Bahasa Indonesia would attract even more users to transition from other editing software to Premiere Pro.

     

    Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to hearing about any developments on this feature.
