How to change the color of the same word that appears several times in my subtitles

Hello, I have a long 30-minute text, I used the transcription to create my subtitles and I would have liked to be able to change the color of a single word that appears several times in my text without having to go through the whole text again.

Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers

    You can use the search box near the top of the Text panel to quickly find all instances of your word. I don't believe there is an easy way to change the color of all instances.

     

    One hacky thing you could try is to find your word, then replace it with spaces which are the same length as th eoriginal word (this may not be trivial if you're not using  monospaced font). Then lay this new caption track over the top of your original and give it a different colour.

      yes, I was just wondering if there wasn't a plugin with the search box that would allow you to extend its functionality a little.

       

      Thanks for the answer, I'll give it a try
