What is Subtitle Pro?

Subtitle Pro is a subtitle plugin from LetsMotion for After Effects and Premiere Pro. You can import SRT files or write text directly, pull subtitles from a YouTube link with the built-in importer, and translate sentences inside the panel. It supports all popular subtitle formats and encodings, including utf-8, utf-8 with BOM, ansii, and utf-16.

The workflow includes a table view with autosave, quick search and find, tools to shift all or some rows, and a check for overlapping subtitle times. Rendering is fast, and subtitles work on any resolution.

In After Effects, Subtitle Pro adds animation templates with preview, sync between the plugin and After Effects, and subtitle control with markers. Template options include Classic Subtitle, Simple Animation, Fading Animation, Abstract Animation, Lower thirds Animation, and Advanced Timeline. Beyond subtitles, it can also create lower third animations.

Can Subtitle Pro import subtitles from a YouTube link?

Subtitle Pro includes a YouTube SRT importer that works by copying a YouTube link, and it's available in both After Effects and Premiere Pro. Alongside this, you can import SRT files or write your own text directly in the panel, and import or export subtitles in all popular formats. It supports several encodings, including utf-8, utf-8 with BOM, ansii, and utf-16, so subtitle files from different sources can be brought in and worked with.

Which Subtitle Pro features are only available in After Effects?

Subtitle Pro reserves several features for After Effects: animation template preview, sync between the plugin and After Effects, and controlling subtitles with markers. The animation templates, including Classic Subtitle, Simple Animation, Fading Animation, Abstract Animation, Lower thirds Animation, and Advanced Timeline, are also After Effects features, as is the option to create lower third animations. In Premiere Pro, Subtitle Pro focuses on importing, writing, translating, searching, and managing subtitle text.

Is Subtitle Pro free to use?

Subtitle Pro is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions tied to using the plugin in After Effects or Premiere Pro, check the developer's page, since terms can change over time. The most recent release is version 2.9.991, updated June 16, 2026, so the developer's page will also reflect the latest download and version details.

What text encodings does Subtitle Pro support?

Subtitle Pro supports all listed encodings: utf-8, utf-8 with BOM, ansii, and utf-16, in both After Effects and Premiere Pro. This encoding support pairs with import and export in all popular subtitle formats, so subtitle files can be moved between the plugin and other tools. You can also translate sentences directly inside Subtitle Pro, and a recent update fixed the translator so it works with Chinese and other East Asian languages.
