Question

Captions are displaying twice, and the second one can't be turned off

I'm on the new version of Premiere, and I have a 608 track that can be enabled and edited as designed. However, rendering OVER that in the Program Monitor are the same titles again in the style of 608 captions of Premiere 14.x. There seems to be no way to toggle these titles off, and they do not respond to editing the caption text. However, if I edit the text, save the project, close it and reopen it, the old style 608 titles will reflect whatever changes I had made before reopening the project.

If it helps, I notice the old style 608s disappear whenever I go into caption text edit mode directly in the program monitor. They reappear back over top of everything as soon as I leave the text box.

Same issue here. Just updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro. Now i have to uninstall and go back to a previous version just so I can have functioning caption tools. Thanks for the headache, Adobe. Smh.

I have an issue with the latest update where all of my captions are appearing as open captions. Uploading 3 screens but I'm told my settings are accurate. Problem is not occurring in Premiere 2020

I started to experience the same displaying 2x bug as soon as I upgraded to 15.1.0

Same here. That's why captions for broadcast editors seems to be easier on 14 (dealing with .srt files).

The 2020 Premiere Closed Captions were better. I mean Closed Captions....not Sub-Titles. There needs to be a great deal of improvement in Captions. 2020 Premiere works better.

PLUS I can "select all" and delete everything on the timeline and the ghost captions remain (Mac 10.15.7, 128 GB Ram, Dual Radeon Pro W5700X)

Nick Condera's screencap is an accurate reflection of my timeline setup.
