Move Captions to the bottom of the screen

Before v15, when the caption track was treated as a video layer, we could use the motion controls to move it anywhere we like.

It is now IMPOSSIBLE to do this. So, yes please, an option to "defeat this restriction" is essential.

This is completely infuriating! So many editors need to have captions below the safe title line!
I've had it with Adobe updates ruining workflows I've had for ages.
If a fix isn't patched by the end of the month I'm switching to DaVinci. Or I'm just going to become a dog walker. I'm so done with this.

Please make this a feature. I have tried making my own suggestion but I'm met with an error (typical). The function of captions is to speed up the process of subtitling via SRT files but the customisation options are very clunky and completely limiting. If we were just able to apply effects directly to caption layers this wouldn't be an issue but we are having to use the essential graphics tab which is very ineffective. Remove the safeguarding but leave the default position to the safe margins, then it is up to the user (as it should be).

Mr Crossman. Back in April you asked our opinion about would "defeating this restriction be useful or is it better to remove this safeguard all together?" How is this going? Seems clear to me that everyone wants this safeguard removed. I could really use this feature today.

Also, the ability to upload our own approved scripts prior to running the Transcribe process. The combination of our scripts and the Transcribe process would be a total game-changer for Open Captions (or CC) workflow. This would literally save me hours of work per video.

Safe margins aren't always essential in work for the web.

Hey Mr. Crossman. Any news you can share on giving the user full control of the placement of the captions? Thanks!!!

I think its safe to say by now that no single editor appreciates the restriction in placing the captions.
I would probably have a button for turn on or off the safe guard and have it off by default.
Also the box should be independent than the text and unlocked for the X and Y scaling.

It'd be helpful to at least have an option to disable the margin locks when needed. Coming from a social ad agency, most of our content ends up on social media platforms, not TV broadcast. We have clients that require captions below the title safe margins.

Hello Adobe/Francis.

Please allow us to place subtitles where our clients want them.

My God! This "by design" thing is just dumb! So now I have to do only what Adobe let me? Mr Crossman, please fix this! If I want to move the subtitles to the border of the frame OR EVEN OUT OF IT, I shoud do it without any problems.
