Premiere Pro subtitles, as a free SRT
Premiere Pro imports SRT files as a caption track that you then edit and style on the timeline. Upload the video or its audio here, download the SRT and drag it into your sequence.
Drop your audio or video here, or choose a file
MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG and OPUS (WhatsApp voice notes), MP4, MOV, WEBM… Up to 200 MB.
Free, no account needed: the first 10 minutes of each file, 3 a day. The file is deleted when it’s done and the result after 24 hours.
Which format to use in Premiere Pro
Use the SRT. Premiere Pro imports it like any other file and creates a caption track from it. VTT isn’t among the caption formats it supports.
Less work on the timeline
Echo delivers subtitles already cut to industry rules, so in Premiere all that’s left is styling them and tweaking what you like.
- Two lines of 42 characters at most and between 1 and 7 seconds per subtitle.
- Breaks at the end of sentences, at commas and when the speaker changes.
- Timing starts at second 0 of the file you upload: place them at the start of that clip.
How to do it

- 3
Import it into Premiere Pro
Import the SRT like any other file and drag it into the sequence: a caption track is created.
- 4
Style them
Adjust font, size and position in the text properties panel, then export.
Frequently asked questions
Does Premiere Pro accept VTT?
Not among its caption formats. Use the SRT from this page, which has the same text and the same timing.
Why don’t the subtitles match my edit?
Timing is counted from the start of the file you upload. If you upload the final video or the sequence’s exported audio and place the SRT at the start, they match.
Can I translate them before importing?
Yes, with a free Echo account: you translate the subtitles into other languages with the same timing and download each one as SRT.
