I have multiple MXF OP-1A XDCAM HD 35 formatted files which have EIA-608 (A/53 DTVCC Transport) text streams but Adobe Premiere does not recognize these captions on import. Is there currently a way within the Adobe Creative Suite to decode as caption files?

I like the idea where the texts as they are now. however I dislike how it has an automatic function of where it's placed and I cannot edit how the size or where the placement is, or even what caption I can use

Hi, since 29.10.20 when editing captions on a timeline, seems to work fine for a minute, then once edited a caption, Prem Pro crashs and becomes unresponsive. I am having to task manager close the app, and restart to continue to edit, however everytime I edit a caption, same issue.

I have rolled back one update to see if this resolves my issue, however I still have the same experience.

Can anyone help?

I am experimenting with the new caption feature in public Beta 14.6. I work from scripted videos and would need to be able to upload a txt or better yet a doc transcription and have PP transform it into an SRT file for use in the timeline. This is essential for multiple language versions of a video.

My school district has a license for the Cloud. Great tool. We have a significant Spanish speaking population. Your close caption feature is amazing but I find it puzzling it lacks Spanish. Please consider adding the feature. The impact on student learning will be incredible. Thank you for considering my suggestion.

It would be useful to have an AI feature that would auto-detect graphics and faces in a video to place captions in locations that do not cover graphics and faces in the video. This would speed up the captioning process significantly.

I need to import .srts sometimes the postioning has already been adjusted but it is lost when imported. After creating a new version and exporting the .srt any postioning is lost.

Importing an SRT allows for style presets, however, for captions that are created within Premiere, the same style presets can't be used.

Advice from Adobe was to export captions made in premiere as an SRT sidecar, then import them to use the preset. This seems like a long winded process, and would save so much time if it was fixed.

Additionally, copy and paste short cuts don't work on effects, in the effects control panel on caption files for some reason. Manually right clicking copy and paste do the job, but cmd+c cmd+v don't work. Just a bug I think.

I am very glad this feature was added a while ago! It it helpful to have.

My request is for leading control.

When my selected font is used, the descenders fall off below the black background box which is ugly. I need to be able to adjust the text leading to move the font back onto the box.

Thanks for considering.

Ripple shifting captions in Premiere 14.3. It used to work (I don't remember if the problem started after 14.0 or later). Now holding down command while dragging the end handle of a caption makes it about 1min30 longer, with no option to trim it down.

When I import an .srt file. I then add as a video track in my sequence to start viewing/editing using Captions Tab - But the edits don't appear in programme viewer i.e. the edit changes.....

Before I can edit the text, I need to shut down PP and reopen it, then the edits are as live. If I try to edit the text, font size etc etc before I've done this, it works in the Captions editor, but doesn't display until I've restarted PP.

After updating to PPro 14.2.0 whenever I wanted to open a project created with a previous version and containing captions Premiere crashes directly on opening. After reverting to 14.1.0 it worked again.

Would love a keyboard shortcut to:

add caption

add caption at playhead

start caption at playhead

end caption at playhead.

Is this a possibility? It would save me so much time captioning work for clients.

Add a button on each caption line's IN and OUT points that say "Set to current time" that way I can re-format my captions if the timing changes slightly. I currently need to click and drag each caption line's IN and OUT points separately around the dialogue, which is inaccurate and a massive waste of time. Kapwing figured this out already.

Keyboard shortcut to collect the current time of the CTI on the timeline. This would work while in the Captions workspace and would save several keystrokes and time while editing captions. Would team up with the Paste command to place caption start and stop times.

This has happened to me MANY times now.
Full HD project, 30 fps. I'm using Windows 10 Pro v1909.
I have one Open Captions track.
When I edit the position of a single caption (using the keyboard to enter a new time) very often this causes Premiere Pro 14.0.4 to crash.
