There are a variety of different ways to add subtitles to your videos, including adding them directly on YouTube. Premiere Pro also\u00a0offers\u00a0many\u00a0tools that let editors quickly add and export captions in various methods. One of those methods includes exporting a caption file that is perfectly formatted and prepared for upload to YouTube. Let\u2019s take a closer look at how we can create a caption file in Premiere Pro and then upload it directly to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/54HhFqZw2U0?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Create a New Caption File<\/h3>\n<p>I have a 10-second test clip in Premiere I\u2019ll be using.\u00a0To create a caption file, I\u2019ll first click\u00a0on the new item button in the <strong>Project panel<\/strong> and select\u00a0<strong>Captions<\/strong>. I have four different options from which to choose when creating a new caption file. Both\u00a0CEA-608 and Teletext work best when exporting for Youtube, so I\u2019ll go with CEA-608 and select OK. Premiere will create a new caption\u00a0file in the Project panel, which I can\u00a0then drag over my clip in the timeline. Now I\u2019m ready to add text.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Create File\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/30aa7c2ffb9d6a71ab56202ed2267829.png\" alt=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Create File\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Add Text<\/h3>\n<p>Working with captions in Premiere Pro is quite nice once you get everything properly set up. In order to add text to my new caption file, I first need to open up the <strong>Captions panel<\/strong>. I can do this by simply double-clicking my caption file, or I can go to <strong>Window &gt; Captions<\/strong>. Now I can begin to type in text and add additional captions with the plus button. I can time and position\u00a0each caption by dragging the black slider bars on the caption clip in the timeline panel. To view the captions in the <strong>Program monitor<\/strong>, I need to click on the wrench icon and select <strong>Closed Captions Display &gt; Enable<\/strong>.\u00a0After this,\u00a0I need to go back into the same display settings and make sure to select CEA-608.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Add Text\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/cc64896cfffefc39d367b167b0d2db91.png\" alt=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Add Text\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Export<\/h3>\n<p>Now that I have all of my captions in place, it\u2019s time to export my files. I\u2019ll press command+M to bring up the <strong>export settings dialog box<\/strong>. There\u2019s a <strong>Captions tab<\/strong> in the middle of the dialog box where I can specify how I want to export my files. For Export Options, I\u2019ll select <strong>Create Sidecar File<\/strong> and for <strong>File Format<\/strong> I\u2019ll choose <strong>SubRip Subtitle File (.srt)<\/strong>. This file format is one of many formats YouTube\u00a0accepts. Once it\u2019s exported, I\u2019ll have a separate sidecar (.srt) file ready for upload.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Export\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/0df5b7532943979809add1b7834b61f4.png\" alt=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Export\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Upload to YouTube<\/h3>\n<p>After I\u2019ve uploaded my video to Youtube, I\u2019ll go to the <strong>Subtitles\/CC section<\/strong>, where I can select <strong>Add new subtitles<\/strong> or CC. Once I select English, I\u00a0get a window\u00a0prompting me to Upload a File. I\u2019ll specify <strong>Subtitles File<\/strong> and then choose my .srt file. Youtube has already autogenerated some captions for me, so I\u2019ll need to overwrite these with my own file.\u00a0After the upload,\u00a0I can see my captions in the <strong>Transcribe and set timings window<\/strong> in Youtube. Here I can choose to further edit and retime any captions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Upload\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/dd75e62aaa12ae6f3e969f073fc6f1a6.png\" alt=\"Export YouTube-Ready Subtitles Directly from Premiere Pro \u2014 Upload\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streamline your workflow and expand your YouTube audience by exporting Youtube\u00a0subtitles straight from your Premiere Pro project.
