Open captioning
Premiere Pro allows editors to create Open Captions, also known as subtitles, which are captions burned into the video stream (as opposed to Closed Captions which can be toggled on or off by the viewer). Users can create Open Captions or import caption formatted XML and SRT files. In the Captions panel, you can create caption blocks, add text, and change the text formatting (color, size, position, and background color).
You can convert single stream sidecar and embedded single stream files to Open Caption in Premiere Pro. It includes embedded MOV and MXF caption files. Using the value area next to Size you can make changes by mouse-down right/left interaction, or numerical input.
To create a caption, click the New Item icon and select Captions from the pop-up list. For more information, see Create Captions.
From the New Captions dialog box, under Standard, select Open Captions
To edit the caption, open the Caption window by selecting Window > Captions.
You can change the font type, style, size, and edge in the Captions window.
To change the text and background text box color of Open Captions, click the color picker to open the Color Picker window, or by clicking the Color Picker to the left of it. Choose a color and click ok. You can also click the Eyedropper tool next to it and select a color.
You can select the edge color and set the opacity of stroke outline using the mode button.
You can also adjust the placement of the text on the Open Position Caption Block.
Opening Caption text automatically burns in to Video when placed in the Sequence and exported, similar to the behavior of Sequence, Titles. You can also use the track toggle output to control the Burn In of Open Captions.
