How does it work?

Extra tools in Captioneer help with the editing process.
How do I edit the caption timing?
Edit using Premiere Pro’s native Text panel or directly in the timeline. See Retiming Captions for a demonstration.
How do I edit the caption design?
Select a .mogrt and open the Properties panel or Essential Graphics Panel > Edit tab. Captioneer .mogrts are fully customizable for any font, color, position, scale, & more.
Can I set up captions on one machine and pass the project to a coworker who does not have Captioneer?
Yes! Collect files using Premiere Pro's built-in Project Manager to pass all project media to coworkers.
Can I create captions for multiple speakers?
Yes! Put each speaker on their own audio track (ex. Speaker 1 on A1, Speaker 2 on A2, etc.). Go to Premiere Pro's Text > Transcription Preferences and locate the "Audio on track" dropdown.

Troubleshooting
Fonts aren't appearing.
A Yellow T symbol on the .mogrt thumbnail inside the Graphics Templates or Essential Graphics panel means the default .mogrt font is not synced to your computer.
Captioneer .mogrts auto-sync fonts from Google & Adobe Fonts, and allow manual syncing.
Go to Graphics Templates and drag the .mogrt onto the timeline. Auto-sync process will begin in Creative Cloud app.
You can hit the "i" icon in bottom-right to see the name of the missing font. Close Premiere Pro, install the font, and reopen.
See Fonts for the full list of fonts used in Captioneer MOGRTs.
It's not working for my language.
Use the Font dropdown inside the .mogrt to change the font that supports your chosen language (i.e Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, etc). For example, use a "CJK" font for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
My text is cut off on the sides.
Captioneer is vertical-first and optimized for Shorts, TikToks, and Reels. The default .mogrts are vertical 1080 x 1920.
For widescreen and square you can:
Scale up the clip with Effect Controls, and then scale down the text inside the .mogrts

My text is incorrectly showing upper/lowercase letters.
Mismatching upper/lowercase letters are a font glitch in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Quit Premiere Pro and manually delete your media cache:

Default Media Cache file locations:
Mac:
~/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CommonWindows:
\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common
How can I copy Effect Controls & MOGRT settings?
Copy Effect Controls "Motion" settings and effects by using Premiere Pro's right-click Paste Attributes command
Copy MOGRT settings by using Captioneer's Copy/Paste commands
Captioneer is inserting MOGRTs or pasting settings slow.
Speed depends on your specific hardware. It is fastest on M1+ Mac machines.
Close panels in your workspace that are not in use.
The Essential Graphics > Browse tab and Graphic Templates panels are known to slowdown Premiere Pro.
Edit locally. All footage, .mogrts, project files, and cache files should be on SSD or NVME drives for the best performance.
Check out Puget Systems for info on optimizing Premiere Pro.
Premiere playback stopped working.
A bug on Windows pauses playback after drag + drop of files. Click outside Premiere Pro (ex. onto taskbar or Desktop) and then click back in to resume normal playback.
I received an error: "Selected MOGRT file is not valid or not compatible with the current version of Premiere Pro."
Default Captioneer .mogrts are built for Premiere Pro 2025. For older versions of Premiere, download the free 2022+ Legacy MOGRTs.
I received another error code.
