How to automatically emphasise spoken word in subtitles text?

[ewaldk4551986]

I think after making some transcripts I master most of its functionality. One thing I'm not able to make work is to emphasise in the subtitle text the word that a speaker says at the moment. As it works in the transcript window itself I'm pretty sure there must be some way to do this in the movie text subtitles itself. Anyone knows how to do this?

Hi,

Thanks for writing in. I appreciate your question. You could try stylizing the word in the Properties panel. Have you tried that? @Stan Jones, do you have any ideas? I hope we can help you.

Thanks,
Kevin

I think you're talking about the highlight moving from word to word as they are spoken. This requires animating the subtitles, which is not supported in PR currently. There are feature requests for it.

You can use the Graphics and Titles -> Upgrade caption to graphic, which moves the subtitles to a video track. They are no longer in a caption track, so you can't export them, as srt, etc. But you can animate them.

There may be scripts to do this in After Effects and there may be third-party options.

Sorry, I don't have an up to date list.
