What are the system requirements for Captioneer?
Captioneer is compatible with Windows and MacOS machines and has best performance in Premiere Pro 2025. The plugin is compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro 2022+.
Captioneer pushes text and timing data from captions to .mogrts.
.mogrts are fully customizable inside the Premiere Pro timeline, Properties panel, Essential Graphics panel, and the Text panel.
Extra tools inside 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. Select "Audio 1" to transcribe track A1 with Speaker 1's audio, and then "Audio 2" on A2 for Speaker 2, etc. You can use each track independently with Captioneer.
Can I build my own .mogrts?
Yes! Any .mogrt exported from After Effects can be used with Captioneer.
Yes! You can enter any language into Captioneer .mogrts.
Can Captioneer translate captions?
Captioneer uses the built-in Premiere Pro translate captions features. Adobe currently supports 27 languages for automatic transcription & translation. Watch this video to learn more.
Is Captioneer available in Japanese?
Yes! Captioneer has been localized for Japanese customers. It is available on Flashback JP.
Is there an international discount?
Yes! If there is a discount for your country, a banner will show up on Captioneer.com.
Troubleshooting
Fonts in the MOGRTs 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.
My text isn't appearing.
Be sure the font is synced and supports characters for your chosen language (i.e Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, etc). Use the font dropdown inside the .mogrt to change the font.
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.
Mismatched upper/lowercase letters are a font cache glitch in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. To fix it, quit Premiere Pro and then manually delete your media cache:
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.
