Premiere CC Open Captions - Poor rendering (aliasing) (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

Hi

I'm creating open captions (burned in) on a project in premiere pro CC. I am finding it hard to display text that looks nice visually as the text has very jagged edges. Are there no aliasing options like there are for titles ? The lack of options seems crazy. I tried using a blur effect to soften the text but this seems to behave a bit weirdly, there is a threshold before the blur has any effect at all and then it is too strong.

 

Someone suggested creating the subtitles at twice the size, and although this is a bit of an odd work around for something so basic, my captions are all done and I can no longer change the format size (the reason why this limitation is in place is beyond me)

 

Anyone have a good work around for making premiere captions nice and smooth (the same way any other program less than 25 years old can...)?

 

thanks!!

    Hi, I've run into the same problem today.

    Try this to see if it helps:

    right click in project manager on the caption file, go to modify > interpret footage.

    Under Alpha Channel, select "Conform Alpha Premultiplication" to: and check "Premultiplied Alpha"

    Any tips for the new Premiere Pro update 2021? The workflow is different now...

      Regarding the topic of this thread, the PR 2021 caption workflow uses the graphics text engine, and burn in quality is good.

       

      Here is the user guide:

      Adobe Premiere Pro

       

      There is a short video on that page.

        Did you get a chance to test burn-in captions quality on the 2021 New caption workflow? I just tried several burn in captions, with different font types, they were all pixelated. Any solutions Stan?

        Found the answer to this - keep the scale of your captions the same, trying to rescale them causes the poor quality. Instead, go into the captions editor and change the font size. This retains the quality whilst increasing the size of the captions, they look pretty crisp.

        This is it right here. Do not scale in your effects panel. What I do, is modify the captions so the width is two times the size of my actual sequence. (this solves for the ends getting cut off.) And then increase font size in the captions panel. You can position the frame with Effect controls, just don't scale.

            Hey,

            I found an answer to this.

            What you need to do is add your subs to the timeline, then right click. From the menu, choose 'Scale to frame size'

            This will now make the text really smooth and you can then use the Captions panel to change font size, typeface etc.

            To apply the changes to all the captions, right click on one of the captions and choose 'select all'.

            Cheers,

            Col

              Nothing changed for me by doing this... still kinda crapy display. also I wanted to soften or even reduce the opacity of the edges but It just lack the controls or doesn't let me do it.

              This for sure isn't helpful but I gave up on premiere for this and continue to add everything concerning text-layers in after effects.

              Same problem here. The open captions look fine in the preview, but terrible after rendering.  I tried different fonts, no difference. Will redo it with after effects manually. Man, wtf, really.
