Modern tiktok style caption tool

Premiere Pro urgently needs a native tool for creating modern social media captions without relying on plugins or MOGRTs.

Right now, the workflow is far too cumbersome compared to CapCut. To achieve the caption styles that are now standard on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, users often have to convert captions to graphics, manually animate them, or purchase third-party solutions.

In CapCut, these styles can be applied in seconds. In Premiere Pro, the same result requires significantly more time and effort, making the process inefficient for creators who produce short-form content regularly.

Features that would make a huge difference include:

  • Word-by-word highlighting.
  • Automatic pop-in and scale animations.
  • Presets for popular Reel and TikTok caption styles.
  • Easy customization of fonts, outlines, shadows, backgrounds, and colors.
  • Automatic emphasis of key words through animation or color changes.
  • The ability to apply these styles directly to generated captions without converting them to graphics or using external plugins.

The current workaround is simply too complicated for something that has become a standard editing feature across social media. A built-in solution would save time, simplify workflows, and allow creators to stay entirely within Premiere Pro.

I totally agree, working with subtitles is really a pain in Premiere Pro and changing to thirty party tools makes the workflow inefficient, especially if there are changes in the edit.
