Premiere Pro provides a full set of captioning features that let you edit captions, create your own, and export them for display for all supported formats. You can import and display closed captions and edit the text, color, background, and the timing quickly and easily. Once you're done editing, you can export the closed captions files as a 'sidecar' file, embed them in a QuickTime movie or MXF file, or burn the captions into a video. Besides closed captions, Premiere Pro also supports importing open caption files that you can burn in as subtitles. Display captions in the Source Monitor and Program Monitor When you import caption clips into a project, the captions are displayed as caption blocks in the Captions panel.

For example, when you import a QuickTime clip that contains embedded captions, the captions are automatically imported. If a QuickTime clip has an accompanying 'sidecar' caption file, then import the 'sidecar' file just like you import any other file.

Exporting media with embedded captions While exporting, you can choose to keep the captions embedded or split the captions into a separate sidecar file. To export only the captions as a separate sidecar file, select the caption file in the Project panel, and choose File > Export > Captions. To export media with embedded captions, select the target sequence selected in the Timeline, and choose File > Export > Media. Premiere Pro opens the Export Settings dialog box.
