Speaker 1: In this video I'm going to show you how to use Premiere Pro to automatically create captions in your videos. And I can promise you that this video is going to save you a boatload of time. And stick around to the end of the video because there's a new feature in Premiere that allows us to animate the captions that we create, which is something that has never been available to us for whatever reason. But now it is, so we're going to use that to spice up our videos a little bit. And if you're new here, my name is Gannon. My job is to teach you how to create videos that will bring your business more business. So what I'm going to need you to do here is swanton bomb that like button I'm talking about from the top rope and let's just jump right into Premiere. Alright, so we're in Premiere and the video is already chopped up and edited, but we don't have any captions added yet. And that's what we're going to do right now. So the first thing that we want to do once our video is already ready to go for the captions is go to the text panel up top here next to effects controls. If you don't see that, click on window and then go down to where it says text. After this pops up, go to the transcript section of the text panel and then click on transcribe sequence and then just hit transcribe. That's going to take a second, but we should be good in a second here. And there you go. So before you go ahead and just edit the way that this is formatted in the way that you want it to look, I highly recommend that you just proofread what the transcript says. I see a lot of instances where people post videos and the transcript isn't exactly what they said. It's off and it's often a bad way and you don't want that to happen. So take a look at the spelling and the words that are actually being transcribed by Premiere. And right off the bat, you can see this mondak.com. I have no idea what that is. It's monday.com, which is what I'm talking about in this video. But all you need to do to edit the words is double click on the section and then you can just go in and change whatever you don't think is accurate. Once that is all complete, you're going to want to click on the top three buttons right here and then click on create captions. Now what I like to do is I'll click on this blue arrow right here and I'll make my maximum length in characters about 19 or 20 ish. We'll do 20 and then my lines is going to be single. Once we have those two checked off, we're going to click on create captions and that will create this additional track for your captions in Premiere. Now you'll notice that the captions are number one, they're small and number two, they're hard to read right here where it says I can we're going to click on the first orange square for our captions. We're going to double click on that there. First thing we want to do is adjust the positioning of the captions themselves. So you'll see this zone section right here on the right hand side, click on the middle square, that's going to put it center center in your video. And then on the right hand side, right here, the second blue number, the set vertical position, you're going to click on that and you're going to drag that all the way to the right and you'll see your words start coming down the screen. I like to keep it about a third of the way up totally your call. But at that point, it doesn't cover my face the words that I'm actually saying. Next thing we want to do is you want to edit the way that the words look. Now I have a preference for this. And I'll show you what my preference is. But what you want to do is double click on the words so you have them highlighted, go to stroke. And you can make this look however you want. There's no right or wrong way to make captions. This is just how I like them to look. We're going to make the stroke 15. We're going to make the stroke black. And we're going to check off shadow or bring this shadow down to about 90. We'll set the distance or the blur to about 20 size to 10. And then we'll make the words bigger as well. I usually set this to about 82 ish. The other thing I like to do is change the font itself. And I use Montserrat, extra bold, and I like to bold the words and capitalize all of them. So you'll see that this is the before and then this is the after can actually make this shadow a bit bigger, we'll make the stroke a bit bigger as well. And that looks pretty good. Now what you'll notice is if you hit the play button on your video, the captions after the one you just edited won't be edited properly. So what you have to do is go back to your original captions, go to track style where it says none, click on Create style. But you'll see that now can almost guarantee you that this video is going to change everything is formatted properly. That is how you automatically create your captions. Now I mentioned there's a bonus. What if we want these to be animated? What if we want them to shake a little bit? What if we want them to pop in or slide up? As we're talking, this is the bonus. This is the new feature in Premiere 2023 that I absolutely love. So what you want to do is first, click on the empty space, right click on the empty space in your subtitles track, and then click on Add track and then just hit OK. The next thing you want to do is highlight all of your subtitles, and they're going to zoom in and then hold alt click on your subtitles and drag it up. This is going to duplicate your subtitles track at that point, you can highlight your new subtitles. And then what you're going to want to do is go up to graphics and titles and click on upgrade caption to graphic. And you'll see that what it does is it takes your subtitles and it turns them into a graphics layer rather than a subtitles layer. This allows you to animate your captions. Now I have preset packs that you can probably buy from like Motion Array or Storyblocks or any content creators. I know Finzar has one. I'll link his in the description because it's probably the best $60 I've ever spent. So you'll see that if I play this video from the beginning, here's the difference that the animation makes. I can almost guarantee you that this video is going to change your life. Instead of posting vid... So the words just go from one set of words to the next, right? There's no transition between the words. It's just basic flat. You can do what you want with it. So what I like to do is I like to add this pop-in. This is from Finzar, like I mentioned before. I use the Transform Zero nice pop-in. What you can do is highlight all of your captions and you can just drag and drop this onto your captions here. And you'll see the difference now. Ready? I can almost guarantee you that this video is going to change your life. Instead of posting video... See how the words now like pop in? It just makes it look more engaging, I guess. A lot of content creators do that. Normally you see this type of transition with like video game videos. I love the way it looks, so I use it on my videos. I totally steal it. But that's essentially how I create the captions for my videos. Before that little process with the animation, I used to type everything out line by line, word by word, and it was just so time consuming. But now with the Premiere update that we thankfully have, it has become much, much easier. And if you found this valuable, I would appreciate if you hit that like button and drop a subscribe to the channel because I want to see you in the next video. And click on the video on your screen right now because YouTube thinks that you'll end up enjoying that video more than you enjoyed this one.
