Premiere Transcript to VTT FAQ

Can I just rename .prtranscript to .vtt?

No. A .prtranscript is Premiere's static transcript JSON, not caption text, so a rename won't work. This converter reads the transcript segments and writes a standards-compliant .vtt with millisecond timing.

Why convert a Premiere transcript to WebVTT?

WebVTT is the caption format for web video, including HTML5 <track> elements and streaming players. Converting turns the transcript you already made in Premiere into web captions with no manual retiming.

Do I need to retime anything after converting?

No. Each transcript segment becomes a WebVTT cue, and the millisecond timing comes from the transcript itself.

What if my player only accepts SRT?

Use the Premiere transcript to SRT converter at /prtranscript/srt. It turns the same static transcript JSON into timed SRT subtitles for anywhere SRT is accepted.

Is it free?

Free to start. Guests get 5 conversions a month, up to 500 KB per file. A free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps and converts up to 100 files per batch. Pro is $9 a month for 100 conversions of files up to 50 MB.
