How to create captions with Caption X

This page is just a simple walkthrough for users who are stuck. Follow the steps below in Caption X inside Premiere Pro.

Select your caption language

Choose the language you want your captions to be in before generating.

You must have an audio track in the project with audio added. If you do not see it yet, add your audio and then click Refresh.

The audio track you select is the one Caption X will create captions for.

If the dropdown is empty, make sure your sequence has audio on a track.

Add your audio first, then click the refresh button if the track list is missing or outdated.

Set how much text should appear in each caption.

Word: single-word captions.

Medium: around 3 to 4 words per caption on average.

Custom: enter any number from 1 to 10.

Pick how you want Caption X to build the captions.

Unstyled: create captions and style them yourself later.

Styled: define the style inside the Caption X plugin.

Animated: use a built-in animation on each caption.

If you are using styled or animated captions, adjust the look however you want before generating.

Choose fonts, colors, stroke, spacing, and other style settings.

Use saved styles if you already have a setup you like.

Check the preview so you know what the captions will look like.

Click "Create Captions" and let Caption X process the selected track.

Caption X exports the selected audio track.

It transcribes the audio and builds the captions.

When it finishes, the captions are added back into your active sequence.

If something still is not working, use the help button below and send us the issue from inside the modal.

If the audio track list is empty, add audio to the sequence and click Refresh.

If the captions look wrong, check that the selected language matches the spoken audio.

If you want full control later in Premiere Pro, choose Unstyled.
