Changes I NEED in Premiere

Thanks for this, Stan! I want to add that everything in #1 is covered by Project Templates, plus the ability to add caption presets to the project. A Project Template can use every aspect of a project as a starting point -- it's almost like duplicating a .prproj you have already set up (with bins, sequences, routing, etc) but better.

For #1, project templates. I have not used them, but I believe they will do some of what you want.

#2 bugs a number of people who want to control the default caption track style. See my post in this feature request:

I link to the changes already being made in the Beta version to make it easier to manage and use text styles, including caption track styles.

The easiest workaround until we get those changes in the release version is to create all your styles, export them as one file, then import that to your new projects.

#3. If you haven't, upvote this feature request:

All the 1/24/23 dates are because it was ported over from the old UserVoice system. Part of the issue here is really what functionality is wanted other than seeing the different tracks - 2 speakers with different styles for each speaker, multiple language etc.

The various workaround options changed dramatically with the "Upgrade caption to graphic." It is still a workaround, but easier than the old methods. Duplicate the caption track, upgrade on of them. It will retain the positioning/style you used in the caption track.
