Automatic Animated Subtitles with Word Highlighting in Sync with Speech

Community Beginner ,
May 08, 2025 May 08, 2025

I would like to request a new feature that would greatly enhance subtitle creation and viewer engagement in video editing: automatically animated subtitles with dynamic word-by-word highlighting synchronized to the speaker's voice.

Feature Description:
This feature would allow editors to import or generate subtitles, and have Premiere Pro automatically:

Highlight each word as spoken, matching the timing precisely with the audio.

Provide customizable animation styles for the highlighting (e.g., underline, color change, bold, scaling).

Benefits:
Improves accessibility and readability, especially for educational, social media, and interview content.

Saves editors significant time compared to manual word-level animation.

Makes videos more engaging and interactive, especially on platforms where subtitles are often watched without sound.

Adds a professional polish to subtitle-heavy content without requiring After Effects.

Thank you for considering this enhancement. It would be a game-changer for many content creators, educators, and editors working with spoken-word content.
