I'm having an issue with a specific font (Ideal Sans) that I have to use for a client. I installed the font and can use it in regular text boxes, both in Premiere Pro and other applications such as After Effects, but I can't get it to work in the Open Captions function. Other external/installed fonts works just fine, and Ideal Sans does show up as an option in the drop-down list, but PP seems to replace it with the standard caption-font.
The subtitles must be burned in. I already made the subs in open captions, but the client then decided that I had to use their brand font, which is why I would prefer to just change the font in stead of re-doing them as graphics.
But if the issue is that their font simply isn't supported as captions, there's no other option than to pour myself a big cup of coffee and make some new subs using the text tool.
I'm not where I can access my notes. Do a search for after effects caption scripts. You should find an option to take a sidecar file and create the text.
If you don't have very many captions, go with the coffee!
