Request for Enhanced Animated Caption Options and AI Features in Premiere Pro

Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.|

I've been a dedicated user of Premiere Pro for quite some time and love the robust features it offers for video editing. However, I've noticed that other platforms, such as CapCut, Descript, and Opus, provide more advanced options for animated captions and AI-driven features.

Given the increasing demand for these functionalities, I find it somewhat inefficient to edit a reel in Premiere Pro and then export it to another program to finalize the captions. Does anyone know if there are plans to integrate more animated caption options and additional AI-driven tools directly within Premiere Pro in the near future?

Thank you for your insights!

I would think there’d be dynamic word highlight since in transcript view there is 😅 Now we just need the ability to actually.. add it to our videos haha

Tired of buying third party plugins to do things that Adobe should easily add to the softwares, like overlord, captioneer, motion tools pro and another bunch of stuff. Creative Cloud is already expensive. Please Adobe, do this, never asked anything before.

This should be standard in video editing software. I’m already thinking of switch to another editor.

Never used captions feature before, but was disappointed to find out that something simple like dynamic word highlight to sync to voice wasn't an option. It’s a regular demand now for videos put on social media because many dont have speakers on.


I’d expect adobe to be nailing this against tacky tik tok vids.

I cannot afford to purchase any more add-ons to add to Premiere Pro, I already spend a ton of money each month on Adobe CC.

 

Thanks for the link, though.  If I get desperate, then I may have to take you up on the 14-day trial.

I agree. Premiere is dropping the ball. There are so many drag and drop features in Capcut that we are in the unfortunate position of round tripping between the 2 apps which sucks. Capcut isn't really a "professional" editor for maintaining larege projects and for various other reasons.  But Premiere is quickly becoming a slow, dinasour.  Same goes for After Effects. I"ve been using it for like 20 years. It's amazing... but do I want to spend hours keyframing? No. Just gimme fast and dirty effects I can drop in my videos.

And another update....

 

See this thread for @Francis-Crossman17221443's response to an Idea regarding single word captions, and his acknowledgement there that they have "heard that request [for robust animated captions] loud and clear."

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-ideas/caption-tool-disrespects-quot-multiline-single-line-quot-and-quot-word-frequency-quot-settings/idc-p/15282949#M20506

 

There have been several related discussion/Ideas in the last week...

 

The current thread is still the Idea with the  most upvotes for animated captions, but 14 is clearly an underestimate of the interest. Upvote the thread in link in this post, as the single word caption is part of the process to the type of animated captions being requested.

Update: I reviewed the requests in my table, and realized I forgot an important one:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-ideas/captions-change-colors-word-by-word-automatic-same-that-captions-ai-app/idi-p/13778792

 

It has 4 votes. This request still has the most votes with 10. The total on all requests listed is 47, but many must be votes from the same users. None of the requests have a status nor programming staff acknowledgement.

 

I comment in the other thread on 2 plug-ins. Captioneer, that @_nicdean mentions here, and SubMachine, that @Kevin-Monahan mentions there.
