Question

Captions are NOT aligned with the video..

When I put footage into Premiere 2026, and generate captions it is always NEVER aligned with the footage, either shifted ahead or behind, which is a HUGE timewaster for myself.

This happens with captions, but even when I turn the captions into Graphics, it’s the same issue.

 

Not sure if there is a fix for this, captions to be more aligned, or something that’ll save me way more time than fixing 200+ captions on a video..

    I assume you are generating transcripts from source clips, and creating captions from the transcript after editing. True?

    What version of PR are you using?

    What do you mean by aligned? It may seem obvious, but caption timing can vary quite a bit. Some users have complained that a caption does not end at an edit point when it should.

    Screenshot or screen recording might help.
