Hello everyone,

I am having an issue in Adobe Premiere Pro and would appreciate some help.

I have imported subtitles in SRT format and I want to convert them into editable graphics so I can customize their appearance, animations, fonts, colors, and other design elements. However, when I try to use the "Upgrade Caption to Graphic" or similar option, it is either missing, disabled, or simply not working.

I would like to know:

1. Is this feature available in my version of Premiere Pro?

2. Are there any specific requirements that must be met before SRT captions can be converted to graphics?

3. Could this be a limitation of my Premiere Pro version, project settings, or caption format?

4. Is there an alternative method to convert SRT subtitles into graphic text layers?

For reference:

- Adobe Premiere Pro Version: [2022_v.22.3.1.2]

- Operating System: Windows 10

- Subtitle Format: SRT

 

I would appreciate any guidance on why this option is unavailable and how I can successfully convert my SRT captions into graphics.

 

Thank you for your help.

    @Anees38840250gkib,

    "Upgrade Caption to Graphic," was introduced with PR 23.1 - Dec 2022. So it is not available in the version you are running.

    The old methods for getting graphics text out of srts involve After Effects.

    You can try updating PR, but keep your current version installed, since you will be unable to reinstall it if you remove it. You can install a newer version along side it. The OLDEST version you can install is PR 25.x. PR 26.x is the current version.

    If you update to version 26, you will probably be unable to use the methods for downgrading your project file to continue working on it in your current version.
