Caption issue

Here’s an outline of the issues are editors are experiencing:

 

When utilizing Premiere Pro 2025 & 2026, our editors are unable to switch caption text to Pop-On.

 

In earlier versions of the Premiere - when changes are applied to captions (for both a single caption line and multiple lines) in the Essential Graphics panel the caption type reverts to Paint-On. These aaption modifications are no longer sticking. 

 

The text panel is allowing changes to be made in the essential graphics panel but as soon as you playback the video and/or click anything in your project or timeline, the captions are revert to Paint-On. 

 

Our caption standard is Pop-On captions.

Part of an editor’s job is fine-tuning captions, and this bug slows down this workflow significantly. 

 

There needs to be a resolution to this issue because Premiere 2025 and 2026 cause major slowdowns in output. 

There is no workaround currently that is more efficient than working with old versions of Premiere Pro, and this is not a sustainable solution long-term.

      ​@ChrisProd,

       

      I was looking at my old posts regarding 608/708 and pop-on etc styles, and see that staff ​@Ron Rigler posted a fix in Beta 26.2 in February.

       

      The release notes for PR 26.2.0 included this:

      Type setting for a 608/708 caption segment could revert after deselecting and re-selecting the segment.

       

      I will have to test to determine what I now believe is true. Previously, I concluded that:

      Caption workflow introduced in PR 2021 did NOT include preview of closed caption (e.g. 608/708) roll-up etc, as had been true for PR 2020. They always showed a pop-on.

      They did export correctly.

      But it was very hard to know what you had set. If you changed the type in the PR panel, the change might or might not show, but I suspected that it did not change the actual type.

      The only way to test was to export (scc or embed depending on your application), and play back in telestream or similar.

       

      I’ll try to test soon.

       

      Stan
