Apply Linked and Track Styles

Last updated on Aug 22, 2025

Learn how to apply your created styles and use style usage indicators in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Once you have created a style, you can link it to other titles or caption tracks. Follow these steps to apply styles to text layers and captions.

Select the text layer or caption you wish to edit.

In the Properties panel, go to the Linked style section and choose the style you want to apply from the dropdown list.

The Linked style dropdown in the Properties panel showing text and caption styles that can be applied to the selected clip in the timeline.
Apply or switch between text and caption styles.

The text layer or caption track will now be linked to the style.

Tip

Use style usage indicators to see how many graphics or caption tracks are using a particular style. Selecting the indicator takes you to the start of the caption track or graphic where that style is applied. Each item in the dropdown also includes metadata for easy identification:

  • Captions: sequence name: caption track: caption track name
  • Graphics: sequence name: video track: timecode: number of layers in graphic using style
