<p>To answer your question, you can't create Closed Captions in PP CS6. It's a new feature only available CC onwards. </p>

<p><strong>Source: From Adobe forum</strong> 
You have a few choices -- there are two commercial products that I have used and know about, to create sidecar closed captioning files that are usable in PPRO and follow industry standarads for CC: CPC (www.cpcweb.com) makes a authoring program called 'MacCaption' for MAC and 'Caption Maker' for WIN. Also, a German company (www.zeitanker.com) makes a program called 'Annotation Edit'.</p>

<p>Have you perhaps considered the <a href="http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/closed-captioning.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe Premiere documentation</a>?  There is an import option under File... Import.  They can either be imported as a sidecar file or embedded in a clip.  You'd most likely be using the sidecar.  The documentation is for CC, but the import is very similar.</p>

<p>Note this can only be exported to tape though.  There is unfortunately no option to output them embedded in a file in CS6.</p>

That link is for Adobe Premiere CC, not CS6. Not an option for this case, unfortunately.

@redshift - the steps are the same I think, it just will only run out to tape.  It can't output them embedded to a file.

<p>First let me get this out of the way: I <strong>can not use</strong> any third party software to load captions into my videos. With that said, <strong>what is the best way to get Closed Captions into my videos (it's about 5mins long) with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6?</strong> </p>

<p>IF I must type it in, that's fine...but tell me how. I'm a newbie. Thanks.</p>

Best way to create closed captions in Premiere CS6? No 3rd party software!

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-10-25)

First let me get this out of the way: I **can not use** any third party software to load captions into my videos. With that said, **what is the best way to get Closed Captions into my videos (it's about 5mins long) with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6?**

IF I must type it in, that's fine...but tell me how. I'm a newbie. Thanks.

Have you perhaps considered the [Adobe Premiere documentation](http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/closed-captioning.html)? There is an import option under File... Import. They can either be imported as a sidecar file or embedded in a clip. You'd most likely be using the sidecar. The documentation is for CC, but the import is very similar.
