Captions showing 2 caption tracks at the same time (2021 workflow)

[RealYiggen]

Does anyone know how to get multiple caption tracks to show at the same time? I have two people talikng at the same time and I wanted to time the captions seperately.

 

Im currently using the latest captions workflow introduced in the 2021 update.

i'll next export them as text to see if i can get the cc to show precisely when i wrote it.

i had a hiccup but figured it out. the srt export starts at the beginning of the sequence rather than the 'in' point. learning as i go.

jason,

Yes, you are getting it sorted!

Ask any questions you need.

When in doubt try to find the answer on YouTube.  I have found much better explanations to issues that I have had with Adobe PP on there.  You might have to do some searching but it's much better than trying to read through all the attempts to fix the issue through the feeds on your post.  I found a great quick video that was PERFECT for what I was needing.

In my video, both my wife and I each wore a DJI wireless microphone.  Since I was the only one filming, I still wanted to capture my wife's comments b/c they were priceless for the video.

Glad to help...and even though your post is from a few years ago, I hope you can add this trick to your creative toolbox.

I cannot wait to use this trick when I upload some of the podcasts I had the opportunity to be on this past year.  Some of them had just two people (1 host and 1 guest).  However, I have another podcast that I was on that had three people on screen at the same time (1 host and 2 guests).

Thanks for posting. There's now an additional method.

"Upgrade Caption to Graphic," was introduced with PR 23.1 - Dec 2022. See:

You reminded me to update my post that showed many of the old workarounds to add this information:
