How do you use aegraphic files for captions?

I'm trying to do the karaoke style of captions, and it seems like there is no way to do this in Premiere without duplicating 100+ times and manually typing the captions in for each line 

 

This CANNOT be the actual workflow, surely?? Surely you can create captions that using a .aegraphic files without paying $150 for Captioneer. Someone please tell me I'm just being a noob, because this can be done automatically in free apps.

    Hi ​@real_5081, chiming in here as the creator of Captioneer (https://captioneer.com).

    As of May 2026 there’s not built-in way to create captions from .aegraphics in Premiere. I agree with you that this is a surprising flaw for a professional app marketed for social media creators. I noticed this oversight around 2021 and we set off building the plugin.

    There are a few other plugins: Submachine, Firecut, AutoCut, and more.

    I am biased, but Captioneer strikes a balance between fair price/functionality. It also has features that no other plugin has, and is actively being developed and improved. We push updates every month.

    We have a Free Trial so you can test things out and if you run into issues you can email our support or message me directly on all platforms.
