It would be useful to be able to move the captions all the way to the bottom of the screen.

@Francis Crossman The idea is to keep the captions free so that Social media stuff can be created more systematically.

I have been using the same concept for my client for a long time and they prefer the balanced look over the look set by margins.

V.14.9 allows the captions to free flow all across the screen. But Version 15 and above do not have that facility. Even I am stuck here and forced to use 14.9 for quite a long time now.

Please see the screenshot of my active workflow for a better understanding.

It's fine to "keep the captions within a safe margin". This can simply be the default that will be used by a lot of people I'm guessing. The current version allows us to "Set Vertical Position" to a positive number....the Captions just don't respond. Please fix this.

I would say, we are not "defeating" the restriction. Rather, it is allowing creators all the options and creative freedom for placement and design. If there is really a need to safeguard users who are unaware of the idea of safe margin, add warning tooltip for them and allow us to override the placement restriction. And yes, I mean all restriction, not just the bottom.

Mr Crossman asked us and we have responded. I just hope it's near the top of their list of changes to make.

Agreed on needing an update to this, I am sticking v14 (2020) until this is resolved. It makes the new version unusable for my workflow.

I agree...we could use this now. I think the jury is out on removing this restriction. I wonder if Adobe is reading these comments.

How is the progress to remove the safeguard altogether coming along? Really could use this feature right now.

Is Adobe considering removing the CC location safeguard to give us full control?

Yes, definitely, I'm a video editor - I work for many brands each have different style guides for subs etc. It would be so much better to have total freedom to position captions exactly where you need them so they adhere to whatever branding requirement or style guide you're working with.

Yes, in my opinion, having edited for 20 years, I would prefer the ability to create however I'd like without any restrictions. Give the option to uncheck "within safe margins" or something. Thanks!
