How to add animated emojis inside Adobe Premiere Pro

If you want to add captions, GIF:s, and emojis automatically inside Adobe Premiere Pro, there is a great tool for that which I will show you in this short blog post.

How to add animated emojis inside Adobe Premiere Pro

You start by downloading a plugin called “Brevidy” from “Brevidy.pro” and install that. (Watch this video for the full installation process.)

Then, inside Premiere Pro, you go up to the menu, click Window, Extensions, and Brevidy.

Here you want to select the tool “Captions” and the first thing you do, after selecting what part of your video you want to transcribe, is to simply click “Create”.

Brevidy will transcribe your selected area and from here you can customize it just the way you want and this is the part I really like with Brevidy.

First, you can change the style of the text by clicking “Style” at the top left of the “Brevidy” window, and here you can adjust the position, padding, scale, background, font, highlighted text and much more.

But then, if you go to the “Paragraph” tool you can also adjust the amount of lines and characters per line and it will automatically update in the program window. This is, in my opinion, way more user friendly and time-saving than the built in transcription tool inside Premiere.

Another user friendly detail is that if you go back to the “Style” window inside Brevidy and select “Highlight Text”, you can now simply click on any words that you want to highlight or click “suggest highlights” under the “Highlight” tool to do that automatically.

And if you want to add emojis (or clips), just go to the “Media” tool, click “Suggest Clips” or “Suggest emojis”, adjust the length of the emojis by dragging the edge of the underline, and then click “Import Pending” to add them all to your video.

A final thing is that you can add stock media manually to a certain section by just clicking and dragging over a block of text. And then you can adjust the timing of that clip the same way as for the emojis.
