Trouble with captions

Question

Hi all,

I'm new to Adobe Premiere so sorry if this problem is easy to fix. I'm trying to add subtitles to a clip. However I'm unable to click on the add captions button. I do see a lock with "caption file is in source preview mode and must be added to sequence to be editable". I've closed the source preview, however that doesn't fix the problem. Next to that I've tried to click on "Add Edit" under Sequence. No success. ".

Last thing I've tried is Add new caption track...

Here are some ss from my premiere (just to be clear, there's text behind the black square :)):

Hi Evelyn,

It looks like you have already created a transcription of your files. To turn these into captions, follow these steps:

Select your Timeline panel.
Open the Text panel and go to the Transcript tab.
Click the Create Captions button (CC) in the top right of the panel.
Go to the Create Captions window: Choose your caption settings, including format, style, and maximum length.
Click Create: This will generate captions based on your transcription and place them on your timeline.

If you need more detailed instructions, here's a helpful guide: Speech to Text

Cheers,
Paul
