Closed Captions changing the default

Hey!

 

I am just curious if there is a way that PP can save the changes you make to the "Create captions" pop-up menu or do I have to just manually change the style, max length in characters, min duration in seconds, gap between captions and lines options each time? 

I ask because I work with short form content and I see this menu about 20 times a day when I feel like creating captions should be way less clicks than this.

Shinish,

 

You will see "Subtitle Default" in the top of your screenshot. That is a default preset. Change your settings. Then in the 3 dot menu to the right, click it and you will see "Save current settings as preset."

 

In the Project Panel, you will see a new folder "Auto Captioning Presets" with your preset as an item in it.

 

If you pick "Export" it will allow you to create a file with a "prcaptionspreset" filetype anywhere on your computer. This can be imported to a different project. Unlike cpation text styles, you cannot export it from the Project Panel; you have to start the Create Captions dialogue and export from there.
