Convert subtitles from 16:9 to 9:16

[Jodie28520955pnii]

Hi all!  I have a basic knowledge in premiere pro and could really need your help. Cannot seem to find the nswer to my question online. I have edited a video for Youtube, ratio 16.9. For this I have made subtitles using premiere pros transcript. I always have to adjust the transcript as it never is 100 % correct. Here I use two lines for my subtitles.

I also what to use the same video in the format 9.16 for social media. But when I add the subtiles here that I have corrected they will end up most often on four lines. Is there a way to add the same subtiles that I have already corrected to the new format. But for the subtiles to automatically use two lines and instead create new lines. So, the youtube subtiles are on two lines. I would need the same content in these two lines to divide itself and create two seperate captions wth two lines in each. I hope my question makes sence. Thanks in advance! 😃

I suggest you work with two different track styles. Select a caption in you 9:16 sequence, adjust the box the for one subtitle in your 9:16 sequence so you get two lines, then in the Properties panel click on the + under Track Styles and save it. That will change all your subtitles in one step

Thank you @Annika Koenig. But I do nut fully understand. I have created two different track styles. But I need the caption added to the 9:16 to split itself and become two captions. This I do not understand how to do automatically . At the moment I do it manually wich is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this also? Thanks!

Ok, in that case I would probably do the fix up of mispellings directly in the Transcript tab in the Text panel rather than on the captions. Then I would generate the captions once in the 16:9 sequence with the appropriate settings in the Create Captions dialog and then generate the captions again using different settings for the vertical sequence. Would that work?

This is the dialog I mean:

Thank you again @Annika Koenig. This is an option. I still have some issues. Under "create captions" and "style" I cannot chose saved styles that I have under properties. So once the captions are layed I still have to manually go through them as I will have change to a larger size and there will be three lines here and there. Is there a way around this? 

Also when I choose double lines premiere still choses to make single lines. Is there a way I can force double lines? This is what my client wants and it would save me so much time if It actually just worked. Many thanks!
