Hi,

 I work with shows that have hundereds and hundreds of subtitles that need to be tweaked and it would be a huge time saver for Selection Follows Playhead to work for the subtitle layer on the timeline.

    @Greg5D91 @AndrewTheGreat,

     

    There's a special shortcut for captions. You'll see it under Sequence -> Captions -> Go to next/previous caption segment. Ctrl+Alt+ Up/Down arrow.

     

    This moves to and selects the caption.

     

    It works with the caption track targeted or not and with selection follows playhead on or off.

    It's not working for me. What are your arrow up/down shortcut keys mapped to? By default, mine are Move Selection Up/Down.

    Kind off: turn on track targeting for C1 and an empty video track. Now you can use arrow up/down.
