Can existing subtitles be spotted by Premiere?

[Fabian Johann256670327l13]

Hello
In the latest version of Adobe, you can have subtitles transcribed relatively well with the help of artificial intelligence. Does anyone know whether you can also feed in an already existing text and Premiere will do the spotting for you?

Thanks for any infos on this subject 🙂

Hey Fabian,

Welcome to the community! It is possible to import captions to your timeline. Here are the supported formats. Let us know if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks,

Fabian,

By "do the spotting for you," I think you are asking if PR will decide where the imported text will be placed. The answer is no, not currently. This has been requested as a new feature by a number of users, but I can't find them in the Ideas forum.

Here is one:

See my post here for more information:

There are some discussions in the Beta forum.
