October 2026

Version 62

· Windows and Mac

BounceEach word pops in as it's said, then settles into place.
BoxedEach word appears in a black box that grows as the line builds.
Night DriveBold italic capitals with a soft glow.
CurveBold capitals that bend into an arch.

New

  • Four new caption styles. Bounce, Boxed, Night Drive and Curve are in the Animated tab. Like the other styles, you can change their font, colour, size and position before you add them.
  • Your own templates. Made a caption template in After Effects? In the Animated tab, click Import your own .mogrt and CaptionX puts each caption into the template's text. Templates made in Premiere can't be filled this way, so the import tells you when one won't work.
  • Captions from your subtitle file. Under Captions from, pick Your subtitle file and choose an SRT or VTT file to use your own captions instead of transcribing. It works in the Animated and Editable Text tabs.
  • A redesigned style picker. Styles sit in two columns with filters for All, Word by word, Boxes, Outline, Minimal, Effects and Yours. The style you used last comes first, and the previews play as you scroll.
  • Hinglish. Hindi written in the Latin alphabet is now in the language list.
  • What's new, in the panel. The first time you open a new version, a short note shows what changed.

Improved

  • Eye Contact Correction. On a clip with In and Out marks, the trim now opens on the marked part. Before you correct a clip, the panel shows tips for the best result: camera at eye level, your face filling a good part of the frame, facing the camera and your script close to the lens. If the eyes couldn't be adjusted in much of the clip, it now tells you the likely reason. Eye Contact Correction for Premiere Pro

Fixed

  • Silence Remover. Apply Cuts now really shortens your sequence: picture and sound stay in sync and clip effects are kept. Cut pauses no longer come back, and running it again or on a track with several clips no longer drops the end of your video. Lock a track, such as your music, to leave it whole. Remove silence in Premiere Pro automatically
  • No more Link Media prompts. Editable Text captions no longer ask you to relink a caption file when you reopen your project.
  • Long transcript reviews. Spending a long time in the Review screen before adding animated captions no longer signs you out and loses your edits.
  • Stretch. With Stretch on, editable animated captions no longer leave a one-frame gap between one caption and the next.
  • Eye contact on marked clips. Correcting a clip that has In and Out marks now corrects exactly the part you marked.

The new styles and your own templates need Premiere 2026 or newer.

Version 61

· Windows and Mac

New

  • Animated captions you can edit. In Premiere 2026 or newer, you can change the words, colours and font of your animated captions after they're on your timeline.
  • Customise the animated styles. Change the font, including fonts installed on your computer, and the colour, size and position, and see the result in the preview before you add the captions.
  • Update captions on the timeline. Changed a style's settings? Update captions applies them to the captions already on your timeline.
  • Fonts that install themselves. The fonts the animated styles use are installed for you.
  • New installers. A new installer for Mac that doesn't need an admin password, and an updated installer for Windows. Download CaptionX for Premiere Pro

Improved

  • Updates on Mac. The Mac panel now updates itself, like the Windows one, and keeps your sign-in and settings when it does.

Fixed

  • Word Pop on light boxes. The spoken word is now dark with no outline on light boxes, as in the preview.

Older updates

  • Version 13 (10 April 2026): Animated captions with the Pop style and a live preview.
  • Version 12 (12 March 2026): Custom fonts, custom colours and saved presets.

Questions

How do I update CaptionX for Premiere Pro?

If you installed CaptionX from our website, you don't need to do anything: it updates itself when you open the panel. A copy installed from Adobe's Creative Cloud marketplace is updated through Creative Cloud instead.

Which version of CaptionX do I have?

Open the CaptionX panel in Premiere Pro. The version number is at the bottom of the panel.

Do the new caption styles work in older versions of Premiere Pro?

Bounce, Boxed, Night Drive, Curve and your own templates need Premiere 2026 or newer. In an older version, the panel tells you.
