Hi @PDMarsay,
Thanks so much for reaching out. What you’re running into is expected behavior in Premiere. The reason the position isn’t updating when you use Align and Transform is that those controls are clip-level overrides, not style attributes. When you click Redefine Style, Premiere updates properties that belong to the style itself, such as font, size, color, and background, but Align and Transform position are treated as a per-caption adjustment, so they won’t propagate to the rest of the track.
To update position across all subtitles at once, try this instead:
Method 1 – Use Essential Graphics positioning
-
Select one subtitle.
-
In Essential Graphics, adjust the Position under the text layer controls, not Align and Transform.
-
Click Redefine Style.
-
Select all subtitles on the track and reapply that style if needed.
That position data is style-based and should update across the track.
Method 2 – Bulk copy and paste attributes
-
Adjust one subtitle to the correct position.
-
Right-click and choose Copy.
-
Select the remaining subtitles on the track.
-
Right-click and choose Paste Attributes and select the relevant text properties.
If it is still not behaving as expected, let me know and we can dig deeper. Sorry for the frustration, I hope we can help soon.
