Adobe Max 2020: Adobe Premiere Pro Speech to Text and New Captioning Workflow

 
 

It’s Adobe MAX time which means that Adobe just released brand new updates to all of it’s creative cloud software. Better yet, this year the conference is entirely free for all and online. So what are the new updates for Premiere Pro?

Premiere Pro’s most innovative and noteworthy update is the new auto-transcription/captioning function with the Speech to Text panel and the ability to stylize captions with the Essential Graphics Panel. Up until now, captions had to be created manually with a clunky captioning panel.

Speech to Text in Premiere Pro is currently in early access only. To be able to use it, you need to apply for the early access program here. Speech to text will automatically create a transcript from any video sequence and then will generate automatic captions on the Timeline. Powered by Adobe Sensei, this new auto captioning feature leverages machine learning to accurately mirror the pacing of spoken dialog and match it to the video timecode. Watch the video to see how it works.

With the design tools in the Essential Graphics panel for customizing and stylizing text, it offers a reimagined user experience for working with captions and subtitles in Premiere Pro. The combination of Speech to Text and the new captions workflow will make captioning faster and easier for social content and any video requiring subtitles.
