Import custom captions settings to transcribe module

Hello,

I encountered a problem with importing presets to transcribe module. Most of the time I'm using custom captions with my own custom settings (font type, font size, text position etc...) due to missing language support in transcribe module.
I had finally a chance to use transcribe module but there is a problem because transcribe module can't generate captions with my own caption settings.

As a workaround there is an option to generate captions from transcribe, select them all and then change all their settings manually, item per item. To be honest it's not very pleasant experience.

I can imagine to work only with transcript module and have my preset there but that's not possbile for me. As I said the transcribe module does not have a support for a language I need so I need to swap between transcribe and custom captions.

So the idea is to been able to export caption settings and import them straightly to the transcribe module as custom preset. Then the transcribe module will generate captions with the same settings as custom captions (they will look the same).

Yes when creating captions from transcript there are options for track style. However those options are very limited and they can't be used to as replacement for my captions style I already have.
The style I use in captions vs the style which you can set in transcribe are two different things. The transcribe style options are very limited against my captions style.

Transcripts have no style properties. A caption track style can be applied when creating captions from a transcript. Do you see that option? Is your style that you have imported compatible, or do you need to create a caption track style within premiere?
