Using the Limecraft panel for Adobe Premiere Pro, journalists and editors have high-quality subtitles at their fingertips. The panel acts as a remote control, sending clips to Limecraft for processing in the background, and returns subtitles on the timeline in seconds.

With the Limecraft panel for Adobe Premiere Pro you get access to AI assisted subtitling tools from Limecraft without leaving your trusted workspace in Adobe Premiere Pro. 


Using AI assisted subtitling, anyone can create high quality subtitles efficiently and effortlessly in seconds. The subtitles are created automatically using configurable spotting rules, properly segmented, and synchronised with the rhythm of the edit just as one would expect.
