You’ll begin with one caption in place already. Adding New Captions and the Captions Panel Now as we add captions, we’ll see them appear on top of our video in the monitor. Drag that Captions item from the Project bin and onto the timeline above your video. Open the Captions panel by going Window>Captions. Click the wrench icon under the source monitor and choose Closed Captions Display>Enabled and then choose the Settings option below that and make sure the Standard and Stream match your Captions item. Hit the new item icon in the Project Panel and choose “Captions” and choose “CEA-708” from the Standard drop-down menu and leave the Stream as the default. Creating a New Captions Item & Previewing on Timeline TIP: You want captions to be short, easily readable, and not covering lots of the screen. Whether I have the script or I have to type all the words out for a project, I like to take the finished text document and play the video in the Premiere timeline and hit the letter “M” to drop a marker where I think a new caption should begin. I was able to take the script and break out each line of text very easily for our purposes. In the video project to which I am adding these captions, we had a voice over track so we were working from a script.
