Move Captions to the bottom of the screen

Francis, your definition of 'safe margins' being 10 % is outdated and not valid anymore within the industry. For example the whole European Broadcasting Union changed the specification of title safe margins to 5 % years ago. Please update your people accordingly and let us decide where we want to place subtitles. To restrict the placement is NOT your responsibility - the more when you are years behind current developments.

Meanwhile a big shout-out to ZONGWEI GONG three messages below. His subscript workaround really … works 🙂 ... and saved the day!

I will have to agree with a lot of others, please allow us the freedom to move the captions wherever we please.

I like the subscript workaround however, there is still an issue. Since the subtitle track must be at the top and does not have the same effect controls as a video layer, you cannot transition to them or from them. Including fading them up from black or to black. Another big problem.

Please remove this restriction. Now with the new Captions in 21, it adds even more steps to a workflow that needs captions lower than 10%, which is most projects.

I have a good perfect solution:
1. Set the subtitle position is bottom;
2. Set it as subscript;(This is the key step)
3. Set the font size;(subscript is too small, so we need to enlarge it)
4. Change the vertical position (normally too low, negative number to put it higher)
5. Save this for use later.

The only way to do this is making an empty sequence with just the captions and later you add this sequence to the sequence you want to export and just adjust the position of the sequence with the captions and voila!

Yes, please remove the safe margins. I'm going to have to go back to using version 14.9 because this messes up my entire workflow. Not sure why this can't be changed.

The request is pretty simple in my opinion, just remove the safe margin so that we can position the subtiltles wherever we need to. I can't see anymore info needed for this request. @Adobe, please update this thread or post a response here to keep us updated on this topic.

Why is this still marked as "needs more info"? Isn't 100 upvotes and 99 comments info enough that you need to remove this restriction? The safe margins will only be useful for people working in traditional broadcast, which I assume is a very small portion of the Premiere Pro user base.

Please remove the Safe Margins
