Closed Captions: Change font type / Format Options (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

Hello everybody,

I would like to change the font type, size and spacing for Closed Captions in Premiere Pro. I saw that there is the possibility if you use Open Caption, but I need to export .xml and .stl datas, so i have to create them in Closed captions. Is there any possibility? That really would help because I need to work on the appearance of my subtitles. Thank you, Jana

Hi there,

Unfortunately, you cannot change the font for closed captions. Since closed captioning is actually a data stream, the look/style of the text is dependent on the viewer/player, not the editing system that created it. Sorry! Open captions can be stylized because they are burned into the video like subtitles and cannot be turned on and off at will like closed captions.

Not sure if this has been changed in the latest version, but that font for closed captions? When I see it on my playback monitor, the captions appear in a nice, pretty Arial font. Looks great.

BUT, not only can't I change this, I'm wondering if the captions will appear differently when played through a DVD.

Also, how does one make closed-captions that scroll a little? Say I have a very long line of dialogue, and I'd like it to scroll up a line or two as the speaker says it. Is this possible?

Hi, thank you for your quick answer! Maybe you can help me anyway, what I need is in the end an xml and stl data where you can find timecodes, format like colour and font style etc. Is that possibile to create with Premiere Pro? Thank you!

After doing a quick test, there is MAYBE some hope, although someone might have a bit more experience here. I just tried exporting a timeline with 708 closed captioning and selected an XML sidecar file with my export. After it exported, I opened the XML file in a text editor and found references to Color, Background Color, Style and a couple other parameters. Looks like you need to know the color in Hex but you might be able to find what you need inside there.


Hey thank you, I also tried but it is a bit uncertain. Also I don't know how to handle an .stl file in this way... So I guess Premiere Pro isn't the right program to deal with it?
