Adding captions not only helps viewers understand your content better, but also boosts your videos' reach.
I am Jay Espitia-Pierluissi, and I've been running a video production business for over five years, working with clients all around the world, as well as coaching other videographers on how to scale their business past $10,000 a month.
In this video, we'll guide you through transcribing your clips, applying captions, and customizing their appearance in Premiere Pro.
Let's make your videos inclusive and professional.
First, let's start by transcribing your clips.
Premiere Pro has a powerful built-in tool for this.
Go into the Text tab.
If you don't see it, find it under the Window menu and click Text.
Click on Transcribe sequence and choose the audio track you want to transcribe.
Premiere Pro will generate a transcription of your video.
Review and edit it for accuracy by clicking on any part of the text.
With this, you'll have a text version of your dialog ready for captions.
Next, we'll add captions to your Timeline.
In the Text tab, click on Create captions... from the transcription.
Choose the format and style for your captions.
The default option is great for social media posts.
Click Create captions and Premiere Pro will add the caption track to your Timeline.
Your captions are now synced with your video, making it easy for viewers to follow along.
Finally, let's customize the appearance of your captions using the Properties panel.
Select the caption track in the Timeline, go to the Properties panel, you can adjust the Font, Size and Color of your captions.
Experiment with different styles and find the best look for your video.
This allows you to ensure that your captions are not only readable, but also visually appealing.
By following these steps, you'll be able to add and customize captions in Premiere Pro, making your videos more accessible and engaging.
Whether you're transcribing clips, applying captions, or adjusting their properties, these tools will help you create professional quality content.
