Hi all, I am struggling to change the font of the subtitles. Normally I just insert the subtitle into Premiere Pro in srt format and I am using open caption. I would like to change the subtitle into big bold font. Nothing much is changed even after I have selected the font. But it looks fine if I use in Legacy Title. Anyone encounter this before?

That should work. If the following tips don't get you going, please post a screenshot of your timeline and of your Caption Panel.

 

Make sure you are using the original caption stream you imported and do not "duplicate" it. There is a problem with not seeing changes to captions in the Program and Source monitors when the stream has been duplicated.

 

Make sure you are working in the caption panel and use the text size there. If you are using any special font, switch to Arial to test. Make sure the current time indicator in the timeline is over the caption your are changing.
