Closed Captioning workflow in Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro CC provides a full set of closed caption features.
You can import closed caption files into Premiere Pro, and add them to a sequence. You can edit the closed caption text, color, background, and
the timing. Once you finish editing, you can export the closed captions files as a closed caption "sidecar" file or embed them in a QuickTime movie
file.
Here is a typical workflow to import, edit, and export closed captions in Premiere Pro:
Step 1: Import Closed Caption files
Premiere Pro lets you import:
Stand-alone closed caption files or "sidecar" files
Files with embedded captions
You can import media with closed captions into your project in Premiere Pro just like you would import any other media by using one of the
following options:
Select File > Import
Import through the Media Browser using the file's context menu
Import the Closed Caption clip as a separate Closed Caption "sidecar" file
If the file contains embedded closed captions, Premiere Pro imports the closed caption data automatically into the project. To detect and
automatically import embedded closed caption data in an embedded closed caption file, select the preference to import the closed caption data
into your project. In the Preferences dialog, under Media, select the Include Captions On Import check box.
When you import a QuickTime clip that contains embedded captions, the captions are automatically imported. If a QuickTime clip has an
accompanying "sidecar" caption file, then you import the "sidecar" file just like you import any other file.
Step 2: Display Closed Captions in the Source Monitor and Program Monitor panels
When you import closed caption clips into a project, the captions are displayed as caption blocks in the Captions tab.
To display the Closed Caption clips in the Source Monitor and Program Monitor, do one of the following:
Click "+" at the lower right of a monitor to open the button editor, and click the Closed Captioning Display button. You can add the Closed
Caption button to the button bar by dragging it from the button editor. You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to those commands.
In the Source or Program Monitor panel pop-up menu, select Closed Captioning Display > Enable.
