Shows how to use AI to transcribe audio into captions and apply a visual template to all text objects simultaneously.
Step-by-step
- Right-click the audio track on the timeline
- Select Speech to Text from the menu
- Choose the language and select the conversion range (Clip or Sequence)
- Check the box for 'Add automatical active words' to highlight spoken words
- Click OK to generate the captions
- Select a caption template from the right-hand panel
- Click the pencil icon to customize font, color, and size

Tips
- Use the 'Add automatical active words' feature to add a nice touch by highlighting words as they are spoken

Highlights
“One of the neat things is you can even translate it into a different language.”
