Follow along with any project to learn how to import caption from third-party service.

If your workflow already uses a third-party transcription service, you can easily import the resulting transcript file into Adobe Premiere Pro. Once imported, you can align the captions with your footage and edit them directly in the Text panel.

  1. Import the SRT file into your Premiere Pro project just like any piece of media.

  2. Drag the SRT from the Project panel into your sequence and drop it anywhere in the sequence.

  3. Premiere Pro creates a new caption track, and the captions are placed on the track.
