P: Premiere Pro - Type Tool and Captions

Hi guys,

 

I'm having trouble with using the Type Tool and the Captions within the Text Panel.

 

This has happened in the past couple of days or at least, it's when I have noticed.

 

When the Type Tool is selected and when I click in the Programm Panel, like usually to type text nothing happens.

 

A red line now appears at the top and across the said panel. I am still able to drag a box but nothing happens after that.

 

Likewise with the Text panel and the captions. When I create a new caption track, and create a caption, I am able to create it and type in it, but nothing appears.

 

I've tried uninstalling the 25.1 version and re-installling - Nothing.

I've tried installing the 25.0 version and the same problem - Nothing.

I've tried creating a new project and opening an older project - Nothing.

Lastly, I have also tried turning my Mac off and turning back on - Nothing.

 

In the 24.6.4 version, it works but ideally I'd like to be using the most updated version.

 

I would appreacite any help, screengrab provided.

 

Cheers

 

Felipe

@felipemdlima,

 

This was an issue for some conditions, but fixed by now.

 

Your second screenshot still has the graphics item selected, and we can't see the caption properties. I would like to see those.

Clicking on text box sometimes doesn't highlight the text with an insert line | . 

You click the text box, and it doesn't proceed with a character insert line (eg: |) and then you try to type, no text characters proceed. I try unhighlighting the text, even clicking on the text row in the effects panel and trying to type again, and it still doesn't work. 

The only way it works again is when I save project and restart premiere pro. Only happened a hand full of times. Not a major bug as yet. If it becomes more frequent it will be annoying
