How to Use

Best workflow for KaraokeSubs

KaraokeSubs works best when your captions are split into the shortest possible segments — ideally one word at a time — so each word has precise timing for animation.

Recommended workflow

Open the Text panel in Premiere Pro
Use Transcribe to generate your transcript
Create Captions from that transcript
Keep the captions as short as possible for better word timing
Export the captions as an SRT file
Import that SRT into KaraokeSubs
Choose a preset, customize the style, and generate subtitles

Best caption settings

For the most accurate animated subtitles, use the smallest caption chunks possible.

Prefer the shortest caption length available
Keep timing split into very small pieces
One word per caption segment is ideal when possible

This gives KaraokeSubs more precise timing for word-by-word animation.

Export the SRT

After your captions are ready in Premiere Pro, export or save them as an SRT file.

That SRT becomes the timing source you import into KaraokeSubs.
