Hello and thanks in advance i just had to brief questions requarding text placement once youve transcribe an audio piece with premiere pro. As you know once transcribed the text appears at the botton of the video and can be dragged to different parts of the screen.However what i was needing to ask is if there was another way of having all the text appear on a designated part of the screen or is it necesairy to manually  drag each line of transcription one by one to a part of your video.

My second question is i cant seam to figure out how to change the font for my captions.

thanks again.

Charlie,

 

Here's the Reference Guide for working with captions:

https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/working-with-captions.html

 

See the section titled "Stylize captions."

 

You can set your main settings (font, position), then create a style, which is automatically applied to all the captions in your track. You cannot have more than one style at a time. If you want one position for all your captions, no problem. If you want some in one position and some in another, You can set the basic position, and then select one or more captions and set a different position. However, if you create a new style or apply a style, it will overwrite your changes.

I really appreciate the help stan but i think im fundementally still missing something. Once ive transcribed my diolouge in the first box i moved the first line of dialouge to where i would like itto appear throught the video. Starting with the first box of transcription on the time line i highlighted all the boxes. However if i then press play after the firstline plays my diolauge then jumps back down to the bottom of the screen. I mean is there some sort of special command or something i need to do to command all the other lines to appear where i place the firs tline? Thank you


Actually i thought maybe if i included a couple of pictures and let you know whati was trying attempting it might be easier . You see the 1st picture under the outlined box is where im attempting to place all subtitles. The second piture shows my align and transform. However if  you look at picture one you see the diolauge is not the same as if it  were atthe bottom of the screen. Its like it stacks all weird.  Do i need to change the values before transcribing when it comes to double or single lines are how many lines characters per line in order to get it where it doesnt stack oddly?
