Key insights

You can color-code subtitles in Premiere Pro CC 2021 by following various steps to create and edit subtitles. This new feature allows you to choose different colors for different subtitles and create visual accents.

Step-by-step guide to coloring subtitles

To create colored subtitles in Premiere Pro CC 2021, follow these steps:

First, you should open the project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021. Go to the sequences of your project and select the sequence in which you want to add subtitles. To create a subtitle, navigate to Clip or Sequence and find the option for subtitles.

If you want to add a new subtitle, you can create a new subtitle track. Simply click the corresponding button and select the desired format. No matter which format you choose, the color coding will then be available to you. Confirm with OK to create the new track.

After the subtitle track has been created, you can now add subtitles. Again, go under Sequence, select Subtitles, and click on Add Subtitle at Playhead to create your first subtitle. This will give you the option to insert the text you want to subtitle directly into the program.

Now that you have created a subtitle, you have the option to choose a custom color for that subtitle. To do this, right-click on the corresponding subtitle and go to Label. Here you can select a color, such as green or orange, to visually highlight the subtitle.

An interesting aspect is that the colors of the subtitles remain independent of each other, even when you cut the subtitle with the razor tool. This means you can maintain different color codes within a subtitle. For example, you could use the same colors for related information or topics to maintain consistency.

If you want to change a color in the future or add another subtitle, you can do so anytime under Edit and then Label Color. This way, you keep track of the color individually and can adjust your subtitles whenever you want.

Now you have learned the basics of how to color-code subtitles in Premiere Pro CC 2021. Use this knowledge to make your videos more interesting and professional. Good luck implementing this new feature!
