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

The newest Premiere Pro update, released today, adds quite a bit of features to the captions settings.
And yet..... This frustrating restriction is still sitting on "Needs more info", instead of being actually considered for the caption updates.

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

The man who made this permanent restriction is just an idiot.
This is my design (attached). Now, what should I do????? I can't switch to the new version of the premiere because of this. It is frustrating that you remove the best options available in the older versions.

It's so crazy. I have to position 2 lines of subtitles (German and English) in two font formats (bold and italic) at the bottom of the screen. Neither I can burn in two subtitle tracks at the same time, nor one I can position subtitle track at the bottom of the screen. I have to export the lower subtitel with green screen, import it again, key it and place it at the bottom. Thank you ADOBE.

That is a really silly design. You think your users are unable to determine where the best placement of their titles are?

It would be useful to have an option to defeat this restriction if needed!

With the explosion of social media videos and so many mixed format videos there are a lot of instances where it's necessary to move the captions out of the 16x9 safe margins. I understand the instinct to make sure it's broadcast safe, but I think it would be sufficient to just have some sort of warning for the user rather than completely limit their ability to move the captions down.

Custom positioning of captions? Are you crazy?! Think of the damage it could cause! If anyone from 1997 were to watch a video CD of my captions below the safe margin, they would be out of luck! Do you think you can just put captions wherever you want as if you're a video creator!? Jim!!! You mad man.
