Plain captions: the Premiere caption track and the SRT file
When to choose plain captions instead of animated ones, where to find the SRT file and how to change the look of the caption track in Premiere Pro (Essential Graphics).
In this article
The Zwykłe (Plain) option on the Wygląd (Look) card creates a classic Premiere caption track instead of animated graphics.
When to choose plain captions
- longer material (interviews, webinars, YouTube), where word animation is distracting,
- when you need a caption file for a platform (closed captions the viewer can turn off),
- when the job requires a specific SRT format.
Where the SRT file is
Every transcription saves an .srt file in the project folder and imports it into the Napisy AI bin. You can also download it from Dashboard → Transcripts.
Caption look
You change the typeface, size, background and position of plain captions in Premiere’s Essential Graphics panel, after selecting the captions on the caption track.
