Partial Calling a speech-to-text API and generating styled captions is vibe-codeable. Building a native Premiere Pro and After Effects plugin that produces editable, time-synced caption graphics requires Adobe's niche plugin SDKs and file formats.
What it would actually take: Use Adobe's UXP or CEP extension framework for the panel UI, and an ASR API (here Smallest AI's Pulse) for word-level timestamps. The hard part is writing editable caption objects into the timeline, such as Essential Graphics or MOGRT templates or XML/AAF interchange, with frame-accurate sync across Mac and Windows. This needs experience with Adobe's internal APIs and video-editing workflows, which is niche and poorly documented.
