Can't change stream type from open captions (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

I can't change the caption stream type. I want it to be closed captions and it won't let me change it from Open Captions. I have my import settings set right and the Captions area it won't let me change the drop down. Any thoughts? I can't find anything on here with the same issue.

I was able to delete the file. Save and close and then readd the file and it added right that time. I finally found it on your deep dive captions section!. https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2016/07/26/deep-dive-working-with-open-captions-subtitles.html#gs.v5p19p

Note that the blog post you linked is for the caption workflow in PR CC 2015 through 2020. The version of PR released today introduces a new, very different, caption workflow.

Unfortunately, you cannot change Open Captions to any other stream type. You can change anything else to Open Captions, but not vice versa.

 

By "import settings," I assume you mean the "Import Settings" button in the Caption Panel. Are you sure you clicked the check mark? And that it is the right import file type?
