If you’re looking for a fast and simple way to export captions from Premiere Pro as .srt files, Brevidy makes it incredibly easy. No complicated workflows, no clunky exports. In this post, we’ll walk you through the exact steps to generate and download .srt captions directly from your Premiere Pro timeline using the Brevidy extension.
Step 1: Download and Install Brevidy
Before you begin, make sure you have Brevidy installed inside Premiere Pro.
Here’s how to do it:
Follow the installation steps to download the installer and add the Brevidy extension to your Adobe account.
Once installed, launch Premiere Pro and go to Window > Extensions > Brevidy to open the plugin.
Make sure you’re signed in to Adobe with the account you used to install Brevidy.
Step 2: Open the Brevidy Panel in Premiere Pro
After installing, open up Premiere Pro and load the project where your captions are needed.
Navigate to the Extension Panel by clicking Window > Extensions > Brevidy.
When Brevidy opens, you’ll see two main options:
Autocut
Caption
Click on the Caption tab to start generating your animated or standard captions.
Step 3: Export Your SRT Captions
Once your captions are generated and fully loaded in the panel, it only takes a few seconds to download them as an .srt file.
Here’s how:
Look to the top right corner of the caption panel.
Click the hamburger menu (⋮) – the three vertical dots.
From the dropdown, select Export SRT.
Brevidy will automatically download your captions as a .srt file into your Downloads folder.
Bonus: Upload SRT Captions Into Your Edit
Brevidy doesn’t just let you export .srt captions, it also allows you to import existing .srt files and turn them into dynamic captions directly inside Premiere Pro.
🎉 That’s it! You now have clean, ready-to-use subtitle files for platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, or any other video platform that supports .srt captioning.
