Just trying to do some simple open captions (white text with black background) and the text is not in the centre of the background box, which looks pretty bad. Can't seem to change it as all controls change the text and background as one. There's got to be a simple solution...? Any help much appreciated.

Known issue and no fix yet. I know of no workaround. I reduce the opacity of the background box - sometimes all the way off.

Problem if burning in; If your exporting srt, it won't matter.

Hi fionaf,

Sorry to hear that you are facing the alignment issue with Open Captions in Adobe Premiere Pro.

This is a known issue and we are working on it. My apologies, I don't have a workaround or a helpful response.

I would advocate on your behalf.

Thanks,

Shivangi

Any idea when this will be resolved? 8 months after you acknowledged this is a known issue, and I'm still experiencing this flaw. It looks so unprofessional and is very, very poor from Adobe.

This is a workaround that worked for me. It seems to be a font-face related issue. I tried many different fonts until I came across a couple that worked. Futura and Open Sans. There are probably others but I stopped looking. You just have to try them out for yourself. Hope this helps.
