audio to text subs for my videos

[bluefire777]

Hello!

I want to have the audio as text script at the bottom of my videos for youtube and facebook.

Should I do this by creating the same dimensions of my video in after effects, and typing in the text and shifting the text snippets on the time line to match the audio? Or can I do this right inside of premiere? Whats the fastest way to do this?

Thank you.

Premiere has an open caption feature but I find it very lacking. it seems to do it right as you start, but then you realize there's not much flexibility in designing the captions. leading is the most annoying part.

the workflow that I found gives me what I need is create a text layer in after effects that suits my need in terms of right size, style, and formatting, then export it as a Mogrt to Premiere. now in premiere I have a caption track I can change the text either on screen or in the graphics panel. easily cut it and time it. if there's any change I would have to make in the text features, it's easy to replace the master Mogrt for all of them.

this is what I would do for short stuff, for longer stuff I would use a proper caption authoring tool or app.
