Question

SRT captions imported with "{\an8} to denote top position display a "}"character in the caption text

I can't seem to modify the file enough to fix it...

The position information is present in premiere beta, when importing an .srt file which uses {\an8} for top center position. But the character "}" is grouped with the actual caption text.
for example:
Text from srt:
2
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,760
{\an8} In the mid 19th century,

 

Text on screen in premiere:
} In the mid 19th century,

This should now be fixed in Premiere Pro 15.1 Beta build 020, which was posted today.

Thank you for reporting! It seems we also had an issue with postion information in the old Captions, as well (14.9 and earlier). I have logged this for our Devs to investigate.

 

I also have not been able to find a workaround, other than manually deleting { in the Text panel (which I realize is not very fesaible)

Trent, luckily you all had put a find and replace feature in there, so... it wasn't as much of a pita as it could have been, I jsut had to find "}" and replace with "". Still a bug.

Totally agree it's a bug.
