Adding captions in Adobe Premiere
Follow these steps to add captions in Adobe Premiere. Remember to create your video with captions in mind to prevent the captions overlapping your video’s text and graphics.
Note: These instructions assume basic knowledge of the Adobe Premiere software.
- Download the closed caption .mogrt file (16x9 or 9x16 aspect ratio).
- Open the Essential Graphics panel and click the "Install Motion Graphics template" button found in the lower right-hand corner.
- Open the .mogrt file you downloaded.
- Drop the graphic on the top layer in your timeline. (Note: The .mogrt files are sized to fit on 4K sequences and may require repositioning/resizing on smaller sequences.)
- Select the graphic and write your first caption (up to 40 characters) in the Essential Graphics panel under the edit tab.
- Cut the graphic and select the new section to write your next caption.
- Continue cutting sections of the graphic for all of your captions.
