Look at any trending video on social media. What’s the one thing that’s common across all of them?

Captions!

With FireCut, you can transcribe, style, and add captions all in a single plugin with an end-to-end workflow that doesn’t require exporting/uploading your video for transcription, or relying on Premiere Pro’s own transcription. This means that within seconds, you can add captions in the latest trending styles for 50+ languages right within Premiere Pro

To add captions with FireCut, go to “Add captions” and click “Transcribe”

When the video is transcribed, style your captions using a number of templates / presets that come with FireCut — or make your own with the settings underneath and save it as a new preset! You can have as many as you like. You can even fine-tune the detected transcript by editing, adding and removing words.

Once you are happy, simply click “Add styled captions to sequence” to add captions straight to your timeline!

And here’s the special sauce: instead of using GPU-intensive Motion Graphics Templates (MOGRTs) which will slow down your whole timeline and require preview rendering to show properly in your sequence, FireCut uses images which are super quick to preview and don’t require any additional processing. So your timeline remains super fast and responsive!

Just because they are images doesn’t mean you cannot edit them. If you want to change any particular captions, just select them in your sequence, go to Add captions and click Edit selected captions. You will then be able to modify the style and update your captions.

Add captions is a fan-favourite feature of FireCut, and you’ll often see videos made using it when you’re scrolling YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or TikTok. Try it for yourself and start creating more engaging content today!
