Make Better Captions in Premiere & After Effects (Tutorial)

Most captions are just plain text — not here. In this in-depth tutorial, I show you exactly how I animate captions to actually stand out using Premiere Pro and After Effects. From transcription to tracking, shadows to anchor points, and plugins like Motion Tools — everything’s covered. Captions that pop, sizzle, and (almost) cause seizures. Let’s level up your editing game.
