Video Captioning: 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. The current UI feels backwards and burdensome. With a cloud-based app like Adobe Express, it’s counter-intuitive to download a video created in Express just to upload it back for captions.
This feature seems designed for post-production videos outside Express, but now that captioned videos are saved in AE, what about videos made within it? 
We end up with duplicates—one on our drive or cloud storage and two in Express—wasting expensive Creative Cloud space.
Why no right-click option to caption a video or audio track?
It’s baffling. Even after uploading to the caption tool, editing is available in Express—it is not even the cart before the horse, it is the cart across the street. To the decision-makers shaping my design fate: streamline this feature.
