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

"Would an option to have more choice / allow customisation in the most popular and professional editing program in the world be useful?"

Yes! Pleaaase! Safe margins should be an optional. Working with web and social media content requires us to place subtitles in a great variety of positions, so we need the flexibility,

In the last five years I haven't edited a single video that needed title or action safe. Let us put text wherever we want!

Please DO NOT remove this restriction altogether, however, an override would be useful.

My team has the opposite problem -- We need the captions to default to the Action Safe margin, rather than the Title Safe margin.

Both problems could probably be solved with an option box that presents three options: Title Safe, Action Safe, or None.

For digital media, we don't need title safe. Please fix this so we can drop the captions to the bottom if we'd like to.

I think it would be good to give the user the option - when trying to add subtitles to a video file to be used online where I will burn the subtitles onto the video and need to move the positioning to suit the screen design (speaker, logos and presentation slide with text just on the presentation slide).

I think having safe guards are useful but should also be optional

Might be useful to enable users to be able to define the safe margin percentage, so if you wanted to enable use of the full screen, you would set the safe area to 0%

I often find myself wanting to adjust this based on the video application

In today's world, so much different type of content are being created. Adobe still thinks everyone editing video are only for broadcast use? Come on. Just give editors the freedom to create. There should option to disable the restriction of captions.

Just sent lock 1 of project after battling with subtitles. Nightmare.

This is an online project and the idea that Premiere is telling me to be careful of CRT overscan is laugable. And frustrating.

There used to be a work round in 14.x that meant you could get the subs further down the screen, it was still rubbish but this new system seems to have killed even that off.

Please, allow us to select 'broadcast or online' for our captioning system.

Thanks.

Really annoying! Please give us an option to make decision on where the captions are going to be located!
