Problem
Captions are the slow part of a Premiere short-form edit.
Premiere Pro is great at finishing. It is not great at the first caption pass. Manual transcription and word-by-word styling can eat a whole edit session.
Manual captioning is slow
Typing captions by hand in Premiere is unsustainable at short-form volume.
Built-in auto captions need cleanup
Premiere auto captions still need fixes for short clips.
Style consistency across clips
Maintaining a caption look across batches is tedious in any timeline.
